It rained and the weather was refreshing.
Li Jun entered the house and asked Liu Tienan: "General, hasn't the Gaocheng responded yet?" It has been six days, and there is no news at all, which makes Li Jun a little anxious.
Liu Tienan knows Li Jun's past, so he can understand that he is so concerned about this matter: "No. And if I have a good estimate, there will be no response from Gaocheng." If he does not reply, he refuses his proposal.
Li Jun was a little surprised, and asked, "There will be no echo? Why?"
Liu Tienan shook his head and said, “I don’t know about this. It’s just as usual. If the princess agrees to my suggestion, there should be a reply yesterday.” After a pause, Liu Tienan looked at Li Jun and said: The idea of the princess. If the princess had this idea, it would have been implemented long ago, so there is no need to wait for you and me."
Li Jun asked: "I don't understand that the princesses who were so severe in the northwestern disaster can help us. Now that the grain depot still has food, it is fully capable of helping these victims, why they don't want to save them!"
Liu Tienan didn't understand either, and he didn't think about it. He just said, "The princess is doing her own consideration like this." They only care about marching and fighting, and he doesn't care about the other things. It was also pitiful for these victims that he wrote that book. But the princess did not reply, and it was impossible for him to write a second zhezi.
Seeing Li Jun's expression a little frustrated, Liu Tienan said, "Like you, I have pity for these refugees, but we must not forget our responsibilities."
Li Jun said: "I know." There was no order above, and he would not dare to do anything no matter how pitiful these victims were.
At this moment, Gu Li walked in and said anxiously: "General, it's not good, just got the news. Many refugees outside the city have been infected with the plague."
In this era, talk about the epidemic.
Hearing this, Liu Tienan said with some joy: "Fortunately, these refugees were not allowed to enter the city." The plague spread quickly, and as long as one person enters the city, the entire Linzhou City may not be protected.
In addition to increasing the force on the wall, Liu Tienan immediately wrote a note to inform Yuxi of this situation.
Two and a half days later, Yuxi received Liu Tienan's notes. After reading Zhezi, Yuxi's face was ugly.
Gang Yuxi was discussing with Tan Tuo. Looking at Yuxi's face, Tan Tuo asked, "Wang Hao, but what happened to Linzhou City?" Xu Wujiang said when Zhezi came in. This matter is urgent in Linzhou. Memorial.
Yuxi said: "There is a plague among the refugees." Once the plague spreads, it will surely cause countless deaths and injuries.
Tan Tuo said: "Then these refugees must be prevented from flowing into the territory, otherwise the plague will bring in, and the consequences will be disastrous." The garrison troops near Hebei and Shandong must be notified as soon as possible, so that they will guard the city gates and not allow the refugees to enter.
Yuxi nodded, actually without her giving orders. As long as the generals of the defending army receive the news that the refugees outside Linzhou City are infected with the plague, they will strengthen their guard.
Because the plague was not under their control, although a little frightened, Tan Tuo was not nervous.
For dinner that day, Yuxi went back to the backyard to eat. Liuer and the triplets keenly felt that Yuxi was not in a good mood.
Brother You asked: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Is there something embarrassing?" It was the first time she saw Yuxi's bitter face, her instinct was a big deal.
Yuxi smiled and said, "It's okay."
After dinner, the triplets and Liuer did not leave immediately. Brother Youyou was next to Yuxi and asked, "Mother, just tell me what's the matter. I feel bored and uncomfortable in my heart!"
Yuxi touched Brother You's head and said, "It's okay. It's just that there is too much work, and my mother is a little tired."
Brother You murmured, "My mother fooled me again." Busy work is a bit tiring at best, but it's not like today's frown that is almost knotted. It is conceivable that this matter is very difficult to handle. The blame is that he is too young to help, and mother doesn't tell him anything. I really hope to grow up soon, so that I can help my mother share the burden.
Liuer saw this and asked, "Mother, when will father come back?" When father comes back, he can help mother share the burden.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Your father will probably be in Yucheng. As for when he will come back, this mother is not sure."
Brother Xuan said: "The eldest sister has injuries. It is not suitable to ride a horse. You can only ride in a carriage. I want to come, and I won't be able to return in a month." Riding a carriage is much slower than riding a horse.
After talking about a conversation, Yuxi said: "You go back to the yard first. Mother is a little tired and want to rest early." In fact, she is in a bad mood and doesn't want to spread this emotion to a few children, so she thinks Stay alone.
After leaving the main courtyard, Brother Rui said: "Mother must have encountered something very difficult." Even the careless Brother Rui can see it, and it is conceivable that Yuxi really hasn't restrained her emotions this time.
Brother Youer nodded and said, "Second sister, second brother, I am going to write a letter to my father, so that my father will come back early." Mother didn't tell them something because they were young and didn't think they could help. But Dad is different. Mother will definitely tell Dad if she has any embarrassment.
Liu Er said: "Tell grandpa about this, ask Grandpa to help deliver the letter." It's not that they can't find someone to deliver the letter, but the speed is not good.
Brother You wrote the letter and went to find Huo Changqing.
Huo Changqing already knew about the plague. After listening to Brother You'er, he would naturally know why Yuxi was in a bad mood. For the sake of the overall situation, she can't help these refugees, but she can't bear it, so she struggles.
After receiving the letter, Huo Changqing said readily: "I will have someone send the letter to your father now."
Mother Quan brought a glass of warm water into the house, and handed it to Yuxi, who was in deep thought, and asked, "What's the matter? After coming back from the front yard, she looked so bad."
Yuxi took the water, took a sip and placed it on the table next to him, and said in a low voice: "Those refugees under Linzhou City are infected with the plague. It must spread to a large area soon." Too little medicine is basically a dead end.
Mother Quan moved a small stool and sat next to Yuxi, and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable because of this?"
Yuxi nodded.
Mother Quan was silent and said, "If you really can't bear it, then help them!" It is not difficult to help these refugees in Yuxi's position.
Yuxi shook his head and said nothing.
When Grandma saw this, she knew that this was not as simple as she thought: "Don't think about it, there is nothing wrong with it today, so you can rest early!" This is not what it used to be, and Yuxi is now in a position. You must be cautious in every line, let alone such a big matter.
Yuxi said: "Mother, I want to take a medicated bath." It's still early, and she can't sleep even when she lies down.
Mother Quan nodded and told Tong Fang to prepare. She stayed in the room with Yuxi: "Don't think about it, it's no use thinking about it. To blame, blame God for being too cruel." If these people don't There will be no refugees, and there will be no plagues. Therefore, it is God who does not give the people a way to survive, and it has nothing to do with Yuxi.
Yuxi shook his head lightly, but still did not speak.
Mother Quan said helplessly: "Don't get caught up in the horns. Many people on our side have also suffered, but because of you, they don't have to leave their homes and become refugees. In other words, the imperial inaction has nothing to do with you." The imperial court has nothing to do with them.
Yuxi said, "Mother, don't need to comfort me. Now that I have made such a decision, I won't think too much about it."
"Ah..." High position means more responsibilities, and you can't do whatever you want. If not, she will definitely help the refugees.
The grandmother thought about it and changed the subject: "Wang Hao, I heard that the Feng family and the Han family have already set the wedding date, and it will be November 27." Talking about the marriage of these juniors can also make Yu Yu Hee is relaxed and relaxed, don't be so tight.
Yuxi asked, "Then the wedding date between Brother Shun and Miss Liu's family, is it set?" Brother Shun has eighteen this year, and nineteen after the new year, so it's time to get married.
Mother Quan shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of this. Maybe the wedding date hasn't been set yet! Shouldn't the old lady and the uncle come back for the Han family's wedding date?"
Yuxi shook her head and said: "It's too far apart. There are so many things this year. My eldest brother has no time to come back. As for mother, she is not in good health and is not suitable for long-distance travel. My eldest brother will not let her come back."
The grandmother said, "If the elders are not coming back, will Feng's family have any ideas?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "What can I think of? Because I can't get out of business, and I didn't mean to come back, I believe General Feng can understand."
Mother Quan nodded, and said, "Ye’s family has been away for four years, shouldn’t the uncle continue to marry?" If Han Jianming continues to marry his wife, then Han Ying’s marriage should have been married later. The wife took care of it.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"There is no mistress in this family who looks like this. You can't let the second uncle take care of the marriage of the three young masters in the future, right?" The grandmother is also justified, but she has no other ideas.
"It's not my turn to worry about this matter." If you manage this kind of thing, everyone is happy, and if you don't manage it, you will have to complain. Furthermore, she has so many things that she has no time to manage Han Jianming's personal affairs.
Tong Fang walked in and said: "Princess, the medicated bath is ready, so you can soak." The medicine is prepared by the whole mother, as long as you master the heat time.
Yuxi finished the bath and then applied perfume on her body before she fell asleep. She usually fell asleep when she fell out of bed, but today Yuxi lay on the bed and rolled over and couldn't fall asleep. It wasn't until midnight that I fell asleep.
Meilan heard a cry of pain in her confusion, and immediately got up from the bed and rushed into the bedroom.
When the lamp was turned on, Yuxi was huddled in a ball with her hands on her knees. This situation scared Meilan to death: "Wang Hao, Wang Hao, what's wrong with you?"
Yuxi looked up at Mei Lan with a look of horror, and said lightly: "It's nothing, you don't need to worry, you just had a nightmare." She dreamed of the scene of her being burned to death by the fire again. It's also because Yuxi's concentration is now good, like when she was a child, it took a long time to get over her nightmare every time she had this nightmare.
Mei Lan was a little surprised, looking at the sweat beads on Yuxi's forehead and asked: "Wang Hao, what dream scared you like this?" Wang Hao has always been the face of Taishan collapse, but a dream scared her face. White and sweaty. One can imagine how terrifying this dream is.
Yuxi didn't answer this question, but just said: "Let someone prepare water, I want to take a bath." She was wet and slimy, and she couldn't sleep without taking a bath.
Such a noise naturally awakened Grandma. Seeing that Yuxi's expression was not very good, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Yuxi said: "It's nothing but a nightmare." This is not a nightmare, but something she has experienced in her own life.
Every time I dream about that scene again, I repeat the feeling that life is better than death.
After putting on the clothes, Yuxi got up and said, "Mother, you should go back to rest at this late hour, don't get sick." She can withstand the toss when she is young, but she is in her sixties and can't stand it. tired.
How can Mother Quan go to sleep with peace of mind: "I can't sleep when I go back, so I might as well talk with you."
Yuxi shook her head and said, "No, I'm fine, mother, go back to sleep!" She didn't want to talk now, she just wanted to be alone.
Grandma hesitated, but nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and rest. Call me if I have anything to do."
Yuxi lay on the bed after taking a shower, and didn't sleep anymore. I kept looking out the window until dawn. When I got up the next day, I had a big dark circle.
No more eggs, Yuxi went directly to the front yard with the dark circles under her eyes. When Xu Wu saw Yuxi's haggard face, he was shocked: "Wang Hao, what's the matter with you?" Even if there was an incident between Yun Qing and the Liu family, Wang Hao had never been so haggard.
Yuxi waved his hand and said, "Send someone to invite Tan Tuo, An Zike, and Shen Chunting." After thinking about it all night, Yuxi finally decided to help the victims.
In half an hour, twelve ministers were summoned. When everyone arrived, they entered the study together.
Seeing Xu Wu preparing to retreat, Yuxi said, "You stay and listen!"
Xu Wu was a little surprised, but he nodded and said, "Yes, Wang Hao." He would not stay here for political discussions on weekdays. Today is so abnormal, I think there should be a major event.
Everyone was outside just thinking about something major that had happened, otherwise they wouldn't be summoned so many people. But he didn't expect that Yuxi summoned them, and it turned out to be discussing the rescue of victims who did not belong to them.
Tan Tuo was a little confused. In his mind, Yuxi had always had an overall view of the overall situation, but this time he was a little lost. Seeing everyone looking at him, Tan Tuo suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked: "Wang Hao, Hebei and Shandong are areas under the jurisdiction of the court. They should also be rescued by the court if they are affected. If we come out to help, we are helping the court to lighten the burden. ." As Zaifu, he naturally took the lead at this time.
Shen Chunting immediately added: "It also adds to our own burden." They themselves still have millions of victims in need of assistance, so there is no room left to help the victims in Hebei and Shandong.
The twelve ministers gathered here all opposed, none of them in favor.
