Chapter 526

The death of the emperor had no influence on the common people except that he could not wear red and green and marry. But it had a great influence on Yunqing and Yuxi.

Yuxi and Yunqing said: "when the prince ascends the throne, he must fight for power." The fight in the capital has no inevitable connection with them, but Yuxi doesn't want the crown prince to win. The crown prince won, and she was not far away from death.

Yunqing said, "it's not that easy. Even if the prince wants to seize power, it will take three or five years. Now the key is Chen Yu. If Chen Yu succeeds in suppressing bandits, we will be very passive. " Chen Yu was also a man of great courage. During this period, he selected 3000 people from six military stations and formed a new army, which was directly called the bandit suppression army. And the soldiers Chen Yu took were all put down below and began to train these people. In half a month, these people will be reborn. If they are not antagonistic, Yunqing will appreciate him. But they are hostile. Chen Yu's ability is not good for Yun Qing.

Yuxi's point of view is different, saying: "Chen Yu's ability is really strong, but Ji Xuan and others are there. It's not so easy to succeed in suppressing bandits. He Rui, I'm worried that after the crown prince ascends the throne, what should I do if I invite you to Beijing? " If Yunqing comes to Beijing, it is likely that he will never come back.

Cloud engine is not worried about this, said: "this won't, spring is going to war, even if really under the imperial edict let me to Beijing, when the time will be to prepare for war on the ground to refuse."

Yuxi nodded and refused to go to the capital on the ground of preparing for the war. It is fair to say, "horui, I think it's better to reserve more grain." In addition to remembering the year when she died, she had no impression of other things. But Yuxi has a feeling that something is bound to go wrong this year. If there is no money, it's OK. Yunqing has money now. Yuxi thinks it's better to store more grain.

Yunqing did not agree with Yuxi's proposal: "the imperial court has no money to buy food, no money." Yunqing doesn't want to use the hidden money. The wind is sharp and the waves are sharp. If you use it, you will be given a handle. This is the name of the family and the people around him. Yunqing is very cautious.

Yuxi said, "I'll take out 200000 taels of silver to buy food. Anyway, the gold and silver are not marked, so there should be no problem. " Seeing that Yunqing still didn't agree, Yuxi said: "if not, take out the booty stored in the secret road and sell it. No matter how much money you get, you'll change it for food? " It's more than ten boxes of gold and silver. It's worth more than 100000 taels.

Yunqing is not against using his hidden booty to exchange for food, but has a problem: "we buy food so much, it will certainly disturb the imperial court." If the court thinks they are rebellious, it will not be beautiful.

Yuxi said with a smile, "No

Seeing that Yuxi was so determined, Yunqing was puzzled and asked, "how can you be so sure?" There must be a reason to say that.

"At the end of last year, I wrote a letter to my elder brother, saying that I guessed that there might be a drought this year," Yuxi said. We buy grain now. Even if the imperial court knows, it must think that we are preparing for the coming drought. "

Yun Qing was surprised and asked: "what did you say? Drought? How did you guess there was a drought? " If so, you have to buy more food. Every time there is a big disaster, the food is very tense. The soldiers have to tighten their stomach when they fight. The people in Yucheng can only eat wild vegetables and roots.

Yuxi said with a smile: "I suspect that the secret of my communication with my elder brother has been deciphered, so I specially used such a method to test one or two."

Cloud engine some angry, said: "this kind of thing is not random forecast, if this year really drought, when the time comes, do you think the prince will let you go?"

Yuxi didn't care, said: "no matter what I do, the prince will not let me go. You forget, the prince is ready to kill me If she had not known that the prince would kill her, she would not have done it in this way.

After a pause, Yuxi said: "if the prince really knows the secret of my correspondence with my elder brother, he won't kill me immediately even if he's not sure. In this way, he can buy me time. In addition, we use this to buy more grain in advance, and the prince will not suspect us of rebellion. " In fact, even if we buy 200000 taels of silver, we will only buy 8.9 million tons of grain, which is only two or three months' rations for the 100000 troops. Where is the rebellion involved. You know, the most important thing for a rebellion is weapons and equipment. Food is not enough.

Cloud Qing's face is very ugly, but he didn't scold Yu Xi, just said: "in the future there will be such things must first tell me, don't make decisions without authorization." Yuxi's doing this is equivalent to gambling on his life, which is not allowed by him.

Yuxi nodded and said, "never again." That is to say, she will do it again when she comes across similar things. Because she is very clear, cloud engine won't let her do dangerous things.

Cloud engine asked his concern: "will there really be drought this year?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "that's my random nonsense, but it often clears up this winter. I'm afraid there will be insect disasters this year." I vaguely felt that this year was not peaceful, but she didn't know whether it was flood, drought or insect disaster.

After hearing this, Yun Qing said, "in addition to the things in the secret way, I'll add 100000 taels of silver to go in." If you buy more grain, you will get more insurance.

Yuxi said: "it must be done as soon as possible, or the price of grain will have to rise." In the next two or three months, it will certainly increase by several percent. If there is a natural disaster or something, it will double.

Cloud engine said: "the weather is fine, let Han Ji take people to Jiangnan!" Yun Qing also knows that Han Ji is very good at business, so he is a bit of a stooge to be a housekeeper. In Yucheng, there are not so many people and contacts in the capital, so the role of housekeeper is much smaller.

Speaking of Jiangnan, Yuxi thought of one thing and said, "isn't your cousin the son of Jiang family? When Han Ji goes to Jiangnan this time, should he come to visit him? " Yuxi, the old lady of the Jiang family, remembers it very well.

Cloud Qing is silent for a while, say: "this matter you make the decision." If according to Yunqing's temperament, he certainly won't take the initiative to contact the Jiang family. It's just that one more friend means one more way. What's more, they have a long history with the Jiang family.

Now that talking about the Jiang family, Yuxi asked the question that always existed in his mind: "isn't Jiang Hongfu your cousin? I remember you had a good relationship, why didn't you contact me later? "

Cloud Qing looks a little gloomy, said: "my situation is very dangerous, I'm afraid of implicating him, so I broke the relationship." At that time, he was in a very dangerous situation. He was worried that the Song family would use Jiang Hongfu to deal with him, so he took the initiative to break the relationship with Jiang Hongfu. Since then, Jiang Hongfu has never written to him again.

Yuxi sighed a little, did not continue this problem.

At the same time, Han Jianming in Beijing has a headache. Because the prince, to his olive branch. Han Jianming asked Mr. Zhao, "what do you say is better now?" It is unreliable to stay at home. But once you take refuge with the crown prince, well, you will be the emperor immediately, which is tantamount to betraying Yu family. At that time, Yu family will certainly not give them good fruit to eat. But if he doesn't pick up the olive branch from the prince, the prince can't pick up Yu Xiang and uncle song, but it's still very easy to pick him up. Therefore, Han Jianming is in a dilemma.

Mr. Zhao has no better way. The crown prince will become emperor in a few days. It is not wise to offend the future emperor.

Han Jianming has some regrets. If Yuxi is here, I'm not sure that girl will have good suggestions!

Han Gao walked in and said, "my Lord, my wife fainted."

When Han Jianming heard the news, he passed quickly. Although Ye failed to give him a son, there are many shortcomings, but the couple for so many years, there are still feelings. He doesn't want any problems with Ye.

Han Gao followed him and said as he walked, "my Lord, it's Mrs. ye who passed away. She fainted when she knew." It's really urgent to say and leave half a sentence.

Han Jianming knew that it was not ye's health problem, and he was secretly relieved. When he arrived at the main courtyard, Han Jianming saw a white and tearful Ye family and asked, "when I change my clothes, I'll go to Ye's house." My mother-in-law passed away, so I had to hurry to the funeral.

Ye cry very sad: "master, I did not see her last." Mrs. Ye has been depressed in recent years, and she has not been in good health. Qiu is a very generous person. Like other mother-in-law, she doesn't allow her daughter-in-law to go back to her mother's house often. On the contrary, knowing that Mrs. Ye is not well, she often asks her to go back to her mother's house to visit Mrs. Ye. This time Mrs. Ye left so suddenly that no one expected.

Han Jianming held ye and said, "let's talk to my mother."

How can Qiu not know such a big thing. Seeing the tearful Ye Shi, he said lovingly: "hurry over and see if you can give me a hand. Don't worry, I'm with your sister-in-law in the mansion." If it's a happy event, it's not easy for them to help. After all, they are still filial, but now it's a funeral, so there's no such taboo.

After Han Jianming and his wife left, Qiu said, "what a sin! If it wasn't for ye Erye's disobedience and unfiliality, Mrs. Ye couldn't have gone so far. " Mrs. Ye is not very old. She is three years older than her. She is less than fifty this year. Before ye Erye left his family, he was in good health all the time. But after the second master leaves his family and insists on marrying Ke Minjie, Mrs. Ye's health is not good. It can be said that Mrs. Ye is leaving now, and Mr. Ye will take half of the responsibility.

Mother Li said: "the old lady is the most blessed. The elder and the second elder are very filial to the old lady. Now, I don't know how many people in Beijing say that I'm good at teaching children. "

Qiu's face appeared a smile, said: "this is not right, Yuxi is also very filial." Qiu's heart is very clear, two sons have been very filial, but not now so considerate, which has half the credit of Yuxi.
