Liu Quan finally decided to set off three days later and move his family south to Qiongzhou.
She really didn't want to linger in the capital anymore, for no other reason than that she couldn't bear the yearning in her heart, just like the wild geese in the autumn, eagerly looking forward to flying south.
She read Qi Yu's letter over and over again, almost word for word.
However, the content was beyond her expectation. The letter only dealt with family arrangements and very few other matters. The disaster relief and counterinsurgency that concerned the most was also mentioned in one sentence, with only a few words.
However, Liu Quan firmly believed that Mr. Xian must have put a lot of thought into official affairs and put in a lot of effort. Otherwise, how could stability be restored in such a short period of time?
This is not a random guess. The earthquake and rebellion will make it difficult to manage. Without hard work and dedication, it will definitely not be possible.
In addition to being distressed, I am still distressed. At the same time, I am also proud of him.
My husband is great!
Of course, my man is the best and most powerful in the world, how could he not be outstanding?
Tell the truth.
Before leaving for a long journey, you should walk around as much as possible to avoid being ridiculed as being rude.
It’s quite a lot after all.
For example, Meng Jiming's Meng Mansion, Luo Yuan's Luo Mansion, as well as Yang Gonglin, Yuwen Hongyuan, etc., who have relatively good relations with each other, all have to visit one by one with gifts. Although Zhao Mingyu has been sent to the Western Regions, his wife
He is still in the capital, so he cannot be left behind.
As for those simple face-to-face acquaintances, just treat them casually.
My cousin Zhou Chunsheng didn't go there, because after hearing the news, his whole family came over on their own initiative.
My eldest aunt Cao came first with her grandson Zhou Junmao and daughter-in-law Yao, but my cousin Chun Sheng arrived an hour late due to being busy with official duties.
As in the past, Mr. Zhou did his part and took the initiative to serve as the head chef for the guests.
Look, there's a first-class chicken, a pig's head braised in firewood, and a stewed pig's guts. All of them are large hard vegetables with oily water.
During the dinner, Mrs. Cao reluctantly said to Mrs. Zhou: "Oh, I didn't expect that you have reached this age and you still have to toss around here and there. I'm really worried that your body and bones won't be able to bear it."
"It's okay! You don't know, since the problem with my old cold legs has healed, I feel much stronger doing this business." The old lady laughed, showing a look of disapproval.
"..."
Zhou Chunsheng said to Liu Quan: "Cousin, in my opinion, you should take the overland route when you go south. Although it is a bit slower, the most important thing is safety."
"Safety? What does this mean?" Liu Quan was slightly startled, with a look of confusion on his face.
Taking the water route was specifically mentioned in the letter by the husband. For this reason, Xiaotong even asked Mr. Luo for advice on offering wine. He also thought that taking the water route was more appropriate, but why has it become unsafe now?
"Cousin, the current situation is no longer the same as it used to be!" Zhou Chunsheng sighed softly and added: "This morning, I heard my colleagues talking about the imperial court preparing to take action against the fake Japanese pirates."
This is... government affairs?
Upon hearing this, Liu Quan couldn't help but frown. He couldn't understand the important matters in the court at all!
However, Xiaotong was very interested in this. After hearing this, she immediately looked over and asked curiously: "Cousin, tell me quickly, what happened?"
Zhou Chunsheng was slightly hesitant, but still patiently explained the confusion to his niece.
It is said that a few months ago, His Majesty the Emperor, in accordance with the advice of a certain minister, sent the censors to the coastal provinces to verify and verify the true and false Japanese pirates. At present, these people have returned to the court and reported to
The Holy Emperor made a reply.
It is said that local officials did deliberately conceal the report and did not act against the fake Japanese pirates. Among them were some illegal expressions such as tacit approval, and this kind of attitude invisibly encouraged the evil spirit of the fake Japanese pirates.
is this real?
should be.
Because, in addition to the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the emperor also secretly sent out internal guards to conduct unannounced visits, and the results were equally impressive.
Especially the one sent to Lingnan not only found out the chain of interests behind the fake Japanese, but also brought back witnesses and physical evidence. All kinds of accusations were pointed at King Yong of Guangdong.
What? Another prince is causing trouble?
Eighty percent yes!
After the shock, the emperor was very interested in sending troops to clear the country. However, the courtiers held different opinions and had a heated argument with the emperor.
What the final outcome will be is still unclear.
Zhou Chunsheng believed that since the emperor was a moral emperor who pursued excellence in both civil and military affairs, it would be a high probability event to issue an edict to quell the rebellion. However, in this case, waterway transportation would definitely be in trouble, so he believed that it would be safer to take the land route.
Although Liu Quan did not fully understand what he heard, he was aware of the potential dangers on the waterway and could not help but frown, showing an uneasy look.
Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with Qi Yu's suggestion that his family take the water route. However, he made the arrangement a few months ago. Now times have changed and current affairs have changed. Although it is the same thing, it is completely different.
However, Zhou Chunsheng emphasized that this section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is relatively safe and can be crossed with confidence.
In this case, it is better to make the next step of the itinerary after arriving in Yongchuan Prefecture. There is no rush now.
Therefore, we put this matter aside for the time being and did not talk about it again. At the moment, we should fully enjoy the family affection before parting.
After the banquet was over, Liu Quan pulled Yao over in private and said to her: "Sister-in-law, you will often socialize and move around in the circle of married women in the future. You must learn to be more generous to avoid being said to be a petty person. If I were in the capital, how could I still do it?"
I help you check everything and handle everything, but from now on you will have to rely on yourself."
"Um……"
Yao was born into a poor girl, and her vision has never been broad enough. Before, Liu Quan thought she would learn to be more open-minded, but to her surprise, she still looked like a maid.
It doesn't give people the feeling of being rich.
Alas, no wonder her husband didn't approve of her marriage to her cousin at first, but looking at it now, she is indeed not a good wife.
However, Yao still accepted Liu Quan's advice humbly, but she didn't know how to change it.
…
A family banquet was held in the courtyard of Qi Yu's family, which was enjoyable and filled with the aroma of food. Several distinguished guests were also arriving at the Yin family's mansion a few miles away, and there were also a variety of dishes and delicious dishes.
The head of the Yin family, Yin Jun, was currently sitting down at the lower end of the hall, raising a glass and toasting, and the person sitting at the upper end was the current Holy Emperor.
As for this small banquet, only the two of them were drinking together, with no one else accompanying them.
For Yin Jun, it was a great honor for the Yin family to have a meal with the Lord Long Live. However, for the emperor, he had a quarrel with the courtiers today and was so depressed that he wanted to talk to a drinking buddy.
So the two started drinking.
"Yin Aiqing, what do you think of Qi Yu's return to serve as King Yong?" the emperor put down his wine glass and asked.
Yin Jungong cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, King Yong colludes with foreign countries and sets up private armed forces, which will surely become a disaster in the long run. Now we should urgently order Guangdong Governor Lu Boxuan to eliminate it while it is still in the development stage and has not yet matured."
"But..." The emperor frowned when he heard this, shook his head and sighed, "Since I came to the throne, I have done a lot to deal with the princes of the clan. If I point my sword at King Yong again, I am afraid of being criticized by the world.
"
Indeed, the emperor really didn't treat his Li family well.
You see, after killing King Yongchuan, slaying King Yan, and frightening King Zhao, if we now issue an edict to suppress King Yong, what will the people of the world think?
I can’t hold back my face...
If this matter were normal, Yin Jun would definitely suggest a compromise method, but now Qi Yu wrote a letter with great trust, requesting that the mediocre king must be severely punished, otherwise, he claimed that his life was not long and he would be killed by the thief king!
Forget it, let's help him now that we've talked about it.
So Yin Jun said sternly: "Your Majesty, King Yong has great ambitions. If he is not cruelly eliminated, he will definitely grow into the second King of Yan in the future. In addition, he also raises fake Japanese and makes trouble along the coast. If the court does not With strong suppression, the Japanese plague will never subside. Since Your Majesty is determined to get rid of the Japanese, he must solve the problem fundamentally. As the ancients said, it is better to remove the fuel than to boil the soup. Although the ulcer is painful, it is worse than nourishing the poison."
After a long time, the emperor sighed softly and said: "Oh, it is really difficult to be a wise king..."
