Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Xiao Yilin was very satisfied with this meal, but there was too much food, they only ate half of it, and there was still a lot left.

Jing Yi looked at the food on the table and said, "There are so many left."

Xiao Yilin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can't ruin it, just give it to the servants. It's not too late for them to be happy when they can eat such delicious food."

Jing Yi also knew that in this ancient times, it was a blessing for people to eat the meals rewarded by the master.Jing Yi didn't worry anymore.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Yilin asked the little girl to rest earlier, while he returned to his yard.

Xiao Yilin went to court early the next morning.Today is the Grand Court Meeting, so what might happen in the court hall?

As the prince, Xiao Yilin was in charge of the Xuanwei army, so he stood at the forefront of the generals.

As soon as the court was up, many people pleaded for Xiao Yimao who was demoted to a commoner, and some pleaded for other families.But there was no pleading for Xuanping Houfu.

Because Xuanping Hou Mansion's privately manufactured weapons are suspected of treason, no one dares to intercede for Xuan Ping Hou Mansion, that is undoubtedly courting death.

But some ministers took refuge in Xiao Yimao at the beginning, and now they are making the final struggle for Xiao Yimao.

Xiao Chenghan looked at the ministers below and said to Cao Zexian: "Cao Shangshu, tell them about the crime Xiao Yimao committed, and let them see if Xiao Yimao is worth their pleading for him?"

Cao Ze first appeared in front of the courtiers and explained the results of the investigation.

Xiao Chenghan said: "Nowadays, there are serious disasters everywhere, and the people's lives are not easy. Tell me, can I keep the prince who colludes with local officials to seize the people's fat and anointment like this? Am I going to let him go just because he is the prince? Or say Do you have the same thoughts as him?"

The ministers who begged for mercy were all frightened and said they dared not.

Xiao Chenghan said: "I hope everyone will take this as a warning, and I also hope that everyone will work together to overcome this difficulty as soon as possible."

After Xiao Chenghan gave a reprimand, none of the ministers in the court dared to say anything more.

Especially the Marquis of Weiyuan, knowing that the residence of the Marquis of Xuanping was ransacked, all males were beheaded, and the virtuous concubines and concubines in the palace were demoted, it was really frightening.

Marquis of Weiyuan Lu Zhaoqing is the eldest brother of the imperial concubine Lu.After the death of the old Marquis Weiyuan, he inherited the title and became Marquis Weiyuan.

Lu Zhaoqing always had a bad feeling about the accident in the Xuanping Hou Mansion this time.

Back then, Lu Zhaoqing was also the mastermind in hunting down Xiao Yilin's mother.He also knew what the Xuanping Hou Mansion did back then, after all, they did it together in cooperation.

Now that something happened in Xuanpinghou's mansion, Lu Zhaoqing always wondered if the emperor knew what happened back then.

But he felt that it was unlikely.What they did was very secret back then, and the woman fell off the cliff and died. No one knew what they were doing behind the scenes.

At today's court meeting, Lu Zhaoqing did not intercede for anyone, he did not want to leave a bad impression on the emperor.

Lu Zhaoqing eagerly wanted to communicate with his younger sister, but outsiders were not allowed to enter the palace at will.

After the imperial court, Lu Zhaoqing immediately grabbed Xuan Wang Xiao Yitai, "His Royal Highness Xuan Wang, your grandmother said that she misses you, you should take time to visit her old lady."

As soon as Xiao Yitai heard it, he knew that it was a secret signal from his uncle, and immediately said: "Then I will go to the Hou Mansion with my uncle to see my grandmother."

The two uncles and nephews went back to the Marquis of Weiyuan together.

Xiao Yitai first went to visit his grandmother after entering the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and then went directly to his uncle's study.

Xiao Yitai entered the study and asked, "Uncle, what do you need from me?"

Lu Zhaoqing said: "The virtuous concubine in the palace has been demoted. I don't know how your concubine mother is. I can't enter the palace casually. You go into the palace and ask your concubine mother about the situation in the palace. By the way, tell your concubine mother what happened recently. Be careful, and don't offend the emperor.

You should also be more careful recently, and don't do anything out of the ordinary again.Dealing with Xiao Yilin must be done slowly. "

Although Xiao Yitai was very happy that Xiao Yimao was demoted to a commoner and he lost a competitor, but he was also very frightened.After all, his hands are not clean.

Xiao Yitai said: "But I heard that Duke Ding brought his family to visit Prince Jing's mansion. What if Duke Ding wants to marry his daughter to Xiao Yilin as people speculate? Duke Ding's mansion is a force that cannot be ignored. Ah. If Xiao Yilin got this power, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?"

Lu Zhaoqing said: "I will inquire more about the specific situation. Don't act rashly. Let's talk about this matter after this time. But it's not just that we are afraid of getting married between Duke Ding's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion. Many people will be more serious than us. Be in a hurry, I will definitely make a move. You will go into the palace in the afternoon to chat with your mother and concubine, and we must be more careful recently, not to be in the limelight."

Xiao Yitai nodded: "I know uncle, I will go to the palace to see my mother and concubine in the afternoon."

At noon, Xiao Yilin was having lunch with Jing Yi, so Xiao Yiyan came.

Xiao Yilin saw the ninth brother who came in a hurry and said, "Xiao Jiu, have you had lunch yet?"

Xiao Yiyan said: "I really haven't eaten. I heard that you entered the palace yesterday, and I didn't leave the academy because I was afraid of attracting too much attention. I left the academy this morning after I asked my master for leave. Fourth brother, the emperor summoned you yesterday. Are you okay entering the palace? You don't know, so many things have happened in the past two days, I'm worried to death. "

Xiao Yilin said: "I'm fine, since you haven't had lunch, why don't you come and eat some with us."

Jing Yi wanted to salute Xiao Yiyan but was stopped by Xiao Yilin, "We are not outsiders, so there is no need to be so formal."

Xiao Yiyan said: "Yes, Mr. Chu, you and my fourth brother are considered brothers, and we are also brothers. You don't have to be so polite in the future."

Xiao Yiyan sat down at the dining table unceremoniously, Han Qi hurriedly asked the maid to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks, Xiao Yiyan said while eating: "Fourth brother, the capital is probably going to be a mess these two days. It's a thunderous trick. So many houses were established without any warning. And the second brother was demoted to a commoner. It's really satisfying.

The second brother is also too courageous, even daring to collude with local officials to collect money for him.But yes, he needs money for raising so many dead men and staff.He can't go around collecting money.

And the Xuanping Hou Mansion dared to make weapons privately. Isn't this just to rebel and support the second brother as emperor in the future?Fortunately, they were discovered this time, otherwise what would happen if they were allowed to develop in the future. "

Xiao Yiyan looked at the face of the fourth brother and said: "Fourth brother, I heard from some students in the academy that Ding Guogong brought his family to visit your house. People outside are rumoring that Ding Guogong intends to send their only daughter to you. Marry you as a princess.

And if you marry the daughter of Dingguo Duke's family, you can get the support of Dingguo Duke's family, which is very beneficial to you, fourth brother.There are also rumors outside that this time Ding Guogong came to the door with his wife and son so solemnly to discuss the marriage of your two families with you.
