Yanmenchun

Chapter 37

The conversation in the small diamond window lasted for almost half an hour, and Shen Tuchan and Jiang Lan nestled in the small rockery for half an hour.

Shen Tuchan didn't move her stiff body until Li Taiwei and his party came out, inspected the surroundings again and left.

Jiang Lan is a big man, obviously more aggrieved than her, but he nimbly got out of the rockery as soon as Li Taiwei left. Shen Tuchan slowly sat down on the ground, relaxing his stiff body while sorting out the news just heard .

Standing at the entrance of the rockery, Jiang Lan raised her rebellious eyebrows and looked at her revealing skirt. She didn't see her come out for a long time, so she went in again. Seeing Shen Tuchan sitting on the ground, the corners of her lips could not help but move. , with a little smile.

Only then did Shen Tuchan feel that the numbness from the soles of her feet had passed, and she got up from the ground in a bit of embarrassment with her hands on the ground.

The two of them left the cave without speaking, and Shen Tuchan bent over and straightened her skirt and walked in front.

Xiao Man was hiding in the corridor not far away, and saw Shen Tuchan and Jiang Lan approaching one after the other, Shen Tuchan entered their original tea room, and Jiang Lan followed.

As soon as she sat down, Jiang Lan looked at Shentuchan with a half-smile: "Miss Shentu, why are you in such a place?"

It is very rare for a daughter who has not left the court to appear in this kind of place. Shen Tuchan asked the people outside to change the tea again, took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Isn't Your Highness here?"

Seeing that she didn't intend to have a serious talk, Jiang Lan got up to leave, "Your Highness, don't you consider cooperating with me?" Shen Tuchan stopped Jiang Lan, stood up and poured him a cup of tea.

The smart lady in the capital city must have fifty if not one hundred, and there is more than one who wants to play tricks. Jiang Lan has seen a lot, but Shen Tuchan should be the first to kill someone by herself. Jiang Lan looked back at her and said : "The Marquis of Zhenbei is in decline. I can completely understand Miss Shentu's desire to get ahead, but what can you bring us?"

He is talking about us, and this is a gesture for the prince.

Shen Tuchan had thought about it many times before, now that the struggle between the Queen's party and Concubine Rong's party is becoming more and more serious day by day, she must stand in line if she wants to achieve some goals, the eleventh prince is too young, and although Concubine Rong is escorted by Li Xiangshan, but No matter how you look at it, it's too forced. After the crown prince is finished, there will still be King Yan. If Li Xiangshan is finished, Concubine Rong will be a tiger without minions.

She chose to side with the prince.

Shen Tuchan smiled and said: "I heard that the emperor has entrusted the Taiwei to handle the transportation of grain and grass to the Sichuan-Shu border. His Highness should be worried about this matter, right?"

Jiang Lan sat back on the chair with a strong posture and looked at her calmly.

Shen Tuchan ignored his indifference and continued: "Your Highness, you don't need to look at me like that. Your Majesty told me about this earlier, and now who doesn't know about it?"

Jiang Lan actually didn't care about this, what he was curious about was what Shen Tuchan's purpose was, to cling to the East Palace?Still want to be a princess?

He avoided Shen Tuchan's gaze and said, "Is there anything you can do?"

Shen Tuchan seemed to be unable to see his indifference, and still smiled and said: "The food from the capital city to Sichuan and Shu must pass through Hanzhong. His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness may not know Hanzhong well when they are in the center all the year round. To transport grain, the whole Hanzhong is the source of all grain in Mobei, it can be said to be the granary of Mobei."

Jiang Lan's expression gradually became more serious, looking at Shen Tuchan, he said, "I would like to hear more about it."

Instead, Shen Tuchan stopped looking at Jiang Lan, and the smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared. She looked at the tea on the table and said, "I lived in Hanzhong all the year round, and there is no official in Hanzhong who doesn't worry about food all the year round. The capital city is prosperous and prosperous. , food is worthless, but in Hanzhong, food is more precious than gold."

"Food passing through Hanzhong, even if it is the surplus of rats, there are three mouthfuls left. Hanzhong is short of food and clothing, but the border of Sichuan and Shu is rich in oil. All this is because General Zhao is a Taiwei, and the people in Hanzhong are mixed. There are many transfers, and none of the important officials in the court wants to grind that place, and they all feel that it is thankless, not to mention Mobei behind Hanzhong. They are all transferred to the northwest as exile. I have said so much to tell your highness that you only need to give some advice to the officials in the northwest. The so-called law does not blame the public. His Highness will let the emperor know what kind of life the people in Hanzhong and Mobei are living for us."

Jiang Lan's fingers couldn't help curling up. He thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "What if the officials hesitate to move forward? If, as you said, life in Hanzhong and Mobei is not easy, it may not be all because there is no one in the court. The importance of this place, the officials are timid and push each other, there is a part of the reason why everyone is unwilling to stand up?"

Shen Tuchan's eyes had some obscure coldness this time, and Jiang Lan even saw some madness at that moment.

I just heard her say: "His Royal Highness, the officials may shrink back because of the hat on their heads, but what about the common people? What if they know that Sichuan and Shu are rich in food? What if they know that all this is unfair? Your Highness, no Suffering from few but suffering from inequality!"

This is to cause turmoil in Hanzhong, and the people will violently rise up. If you are not careful, it will be a major event that will break the sky.

Jiang Lan's face was covered with a layer of foreboding, she looked coldly at the woman in front of her, she was cold and beautiful, tall and slender, from her petal-like lips at this moment, a plan to influence the lives of the people easily emerged.

Shen Tuchan looked directly at Jiang Lan, looked at her without fear, her determination was firm, without any wavering or hesitation.

Jiang Lan said word by word: "Do you know what you are talking about? The situation in Hanzhong affects the Mobei battlefield, how dare you?"

"Your Highness, I have been suffering from illness for a long time, how can I recover if I don't see blood? Mobei is my second hometown, this is my chance for Mobei! It is also a chance for His Royal Highness!" Shen Tuchan's eyes lit up.

She even stood up, looked down at the young prince in front of her from a high position, and said slowly after a long time: "Your Highness, it is said that people plan things, but heaven makes things happen. We are talking about the worst results, aren't we?"

The worst result of the civil unrest, maybe there are officials in Hanzhong who are willing to stand up, maybe the situation will be good, and the matter can be resolved without bloodshed.

Shentuchan let out a sigh of relief and said: "Once the incident happens, the emperor will know the gap between the two places, and will fundamentally question this matter. It is impossible for Li Taiwei to stay out of it, and the hearts of Hanzhong and Mobei will be completely If you favor His Highness the Crown Prince, even if you don’t favor the Crown Prince, isn’t there still an Emperor? How could the Emperor still trust Li Taiwei so much after this matter happened?”

The prince will not suffer no matter what.

Jiang Lan looked at her for a long time before getting up and said, "What is Miss Shentu planning for?"

Shen Tuchan lowered her eyes and smiled slightly: "For my Zhenbeihou Mansion to go further, Your Highness, in the previous dynasty, there was a female official from Yushitai who could inspect the place for the emperor, and also participated in the picketing of officials to uphold discipline; in my dynasty, there was also a female officer in the Yunnan Army. Your Highness, what do you think I want to do?"

She has said it very bluntly, as a woman, she wants to become an official in the court.

Jiang Lan couldn't help being stunned for a moment before saying, "This king will relay the story for you."
