"Daxiu Baimao didn't want Daxiu to see these cruel scenes, so she put down the curtain and said softly: "These... the imperial court will take care of it! "
Lingxuan didn't answer, but just bowed her head and mocked in her heart: These are ordinary people, will the imperial court give money and food for the people
If the interests of those nobles were not in danger, they would just watch the common people struggling on the verge of death. After Shangguan Yanlan's discussion, the Yun family donated money, Shangguan Yanlan got a good name, Wanqi Lingxuan got a wise name, only she got a reputation of being stingy, because the money donated was not enough.
She should donate the entire Yun family, maybe she just gets a cold snort, which is of no benefit.
Wancheng Lingxuan, in this life, you still want to get everything from the Yun family... Now that everything is out of your hands, what will you do
I'm afraid, what happened in the previous life will repeat itself!
In this life, even if she gave up everything in the Yun family, she would not let Wanqi Lingxuan's plot succeed. To dissipate all the money, Wanqi Lingxuan's reputation must also be brought to the end.
All the way back to Beijing, the whole journey was miserable, Lingxuan had nothing to do with the current situation, she could only hold hands weakly, close her eyes, and let herself ignore all this.
Every year, Chinese New Year is the busiest time in Beijing. The surrounding people would come to the capital to watch the bustle even if they walked all night, just to look happy. But this year, all places are deserted, even the busiest capital can't hang red lanterns, and there are not even people on the streets.
The life of the people is getting worse day by day, and more and more people are dying, but the court is still indifferent, allowing the people to die one by one to be thrown out. Lingxuan keeps asking people to go out to find out who will come forward—she can’t take the lead Ah, if she takes the lead, it will attract all the sharpness, so I can only bear it.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Gu family finally opened its closed doors, sending some warmth to the people in the capital. Invisibly, the status of the Gu family in the capital was improved a lot.
The daughter-in-law of the Gu family, Jiji, does not perform Jiji ceremony, but uses five hundred catties of rice to serve porridge for the common people.
Both Ning Shi and Gu Fengwu knew how much praise such an explanation attracted, and they were even more grateful to Yun Lingxuan in their hearts. They didn't dare to think about how many censors would be involved in the banquet if the ancient family opened their doors to banquets in such a difficult situation for the common people, and maybe the master would be implicated...the consequences were beyond their imagination.
"Daxiu, the Gu family has started to give out porridge. Mother Bai has been paying attention to the situation in the entire capital, and she is extremely anxious, but there is nothing she can do.
Daxiu sees the situation of the common people. However, if Daxiu had a strong backer with the wealth of the Yun family, there would be no need to cover it up, and she would have given out food to help the people who were about to die. However, Daxiu held the Yun family in her hands, she had no backing, she couldn't stand out, she could only wait patiently, and she was very anxious to see it.
Lingxuan rubbed her temples, and said in a very low voice: "Wait for another Gu family, it's not enough!
If the common people stay up for a few more days, there will be a solution. However, she was worried about another thing... that was the plague.
"Bai Momo, I'm going out on the fifteenth day, so you remind me that I'm afraid I'll forget the most important thing.
"It was Nanny Bai who was slightly surprised, but she knew that Daxiu always had a well-rounded look at such a young age, so she didn't ask any further questions.
Daxiu never kept secrets from herself about many things she did, including plotting against Shangguan's family, so she was very measured, never asked or cared about what she shouldn't, and never said anything more. It is also because of this that Daxiu's heart is even more appreciated.
How many days can five hundred catties of rice last? At the beginning of the Gu family, some people saw the good reputation of the Gu family and followed suit one after another, but it was not as solid as the Gu family.
The porridge made by the Gu family can hold chopsticks, and it is real. But other people's houses can even float on the chopsticks, but it also makes those people feel grateful.
On the fifteenth day, under the reminder of Nanny Bai, Lingxuan also had a leisurely breakfast, and seemed to choose a good time to leave the house. When they went out, they asked the kitchen staff to make steamed stuffed buns with ginger soup and vegetables, and put them on the food box. They prepared a lot, which made Nanny Bai feel puzzled, but she didn't ask.
As for Ying'er, let alone, she is completely invisible. Lingxuan didn't open her mouth, she stood there as a big person, as if she didn't have anything, and she was often frightened by the tea she made, and she frightened herself.
When the carriage left Yun's house, Lingxuan lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the people outside who looked like corpses, and felt that there was nowhere to vent her anger—even if she wanted to help the people, there was nothing she could do. court death. She couldn't set aside Yun's family just to save those common people, and the people in Yun's mansion didn't care.
Also, whoever owns the grain bought with the one hundred thousand taels of silver in her hand can guarantee that it will all go into the mouths of the people. She doesn't trust anyone.
"Woo... Along the way, the sound of sobbing and crying kept coming, which made Lingxuan very restless.
"Ying'er, take a few plain buns for the kids over there, that's all I can do.
Ying'er raised her eyes slightly to look at her, nodded and stretched out her hand to take the warm vegetarian buns, thought for a while, and said rarely: "Master, the carriage will go first, and the servants will catch up immediately!" Now, who can get something to eat? , she will be surrounded by people, she can't let the master have an accident.
"Well, she understands Ying'er's intentions.
Several children cuddling each other and crying helplessly saw someone flying down in front of their eyes suddenly. Before they could react, they felt the warmth that they hadn't felt for a long time, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Baozi...
"Something flashed in Kuai Ying'er's eyes, when he saw someone looking at him, he unceremoniously exuded his murderous aura, making those people dare not take a step forward.
The children were also extremely vicious. They wolfed down the vegetarian buns in their hands, thinking that what they ate was the most delicious in their life.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Ying'er quickly left the spot and chased after the master's carriage.
Lingxuan was doing what she was going to do, and the court hall of Dongyan Kingdom was extremely lively at the moment.
"My Majesty, many of the people in the capital have froze to death. If you don't care about it, some officials who can't bear it will still mention it to the court. Even if the Emperor is unhappy, he has no choice but to do it.
The emperor is not happy, because it is the first month of the month, and the whole country should be full of joy, but this kind of incident happened, which made him, the emperor, suppress a wave of anger all the time, unable to vent it at all.
The matter was past the New Year's Eve, but it had to explode at this time.
"Do you have any good suggestions?" The treasury is insufficient, and the food is used to relieve the people, and the officers and men who are closed there have nothing to rely on. He would rather sacrifice the people in the capital than the border soldiers starve to death or freeze to death.
If the people in the capital have an accident, there are people in other places who can make up for it. But if something happens at the border, it will endanger the entire East Yan Kingdom.
He is not a tyrant, but after weighing his interests, he can only make such a decision.
Seeing everyone frowning, Wan Tong Lingxuan remembered Shangguan Yanlan's attention, frowned slightly, and after weighing it for a long time, he stepped forward and said, "I want to report to my father, my son has a proposal, can you To solve the current crisis in the capital, but I don't know whether to mention it. The emperor is naturally happy when he heard that the current crisis in the capital can be solved, and his attitude on his face has improved a bit.
"He said that as long as the problem can be solved and the treasury is not moved, he will agree.
"Father, the treasury is insufficient because the merchants are tricky and the taxes are insufficient. Otherwise, there are no merchants who are as rich as a country... What Wan Lingxuan means is that he wants to kill all the merchants with a stick, and wants to dig out all the merchants. Silver, so that the father can change his impression of himself.
As long as the matter in front of him can be resolved, would Father still care so much
And the Yun family is his goal. Yun Lingxuan, if you don't want to follow me, then you'll have a taste of how everything in the Yun family is going to be empty. When the time comes, I want you to beg and kneel in front of me...
"Father, my son and I were supposed to play the second prince Wan Qi Ling Rui who was originally silent, and suddenly made a list.
"Prince Rui, what do you want to say?" The Emperor was quite happy to hear it, but was suddenly interrupted, and his tone became a bit sharp.
"Reporting to my father, there is a natural disaster in the capital, which can be resolved, but my son found out that someone with a heart is deliberately making trouble, and wants to make the capital more chaotic, Ling Rui said calmly.
"Who? So bold?" As a superior, the most worrying thing is that his government will not be stable, and he will be disturbed by others, which will cause chaos in the East Yan Kingdom.
"I don't know who it is, but yesterday evening, the white nanny next to Lingxuan of the Yun family, who was also the powerful nanny who used to be the emperor's grandmother, suddenly appeared at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion, asking me for help. My son At first, she also thought that the Yun family was a merchant's house, so she was unwilling to take care of her. However, Nanny Bai cried out at the door, saying that Daxiu of the Yun family had sensed that the weather in the capital had changed a long time ago, so she ordered her people to go to the south of the Yangtze River to transfer. The grain and grass bought for 100,000 taels of silver have been hoarding in the village outside the city. However, when she ordered people to transport the grain and grass to Beijing yesterday, she was stopped outside the city and wanted to take away the grain... Daxiu of the Yun family knew the news Afterwards, panicked and helpless, it was Bai Momo who remembered how many times she had met Erchen in the palace, so she knelt and begged to Erchen's door, and Erchen knew these things!"
"Prince Rui, are you saying that the Yun family has really prepared one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy grain?" The emperor thought about this in his heart, and he did not forget those who blocked the grain from entering Beijing.
