Chapter 258

Ye Xiaoxian was cooking porridge. When she heard something behind her, she turned around and saw that Xiao Baoshan had come in front of her.

She was still angry, so she was not angry at him and didn't even shout.

Xiaobaoshan has some embarrassment.

But I think of Li Hongmei's confession: even if she ignores you, you should have the cheek to approach her.

When he saw that there were two buckets nearby. The buckets were empty, Xiao Baoshan pointed to the buckets and asked, "otherwise, let me help you pick up two buckets of water?"

Ye Xiaoxian said unhappily, "you can pick if you want, and no one is stopping you."

Xiao Baoshan took the pole and picked up the bucket.

When he came yesterday, he knew where there was a river. Just go to the river and pick it.

……

Ye Xiaoxian didn't sleep much last night.

Her mood is still mixed, a little excited and a little resentful.

She is thinking about Liu Qianqian's words. Liu Qianqian's words are not unreasonable. If he doesn't come back and resolutely wants to marry Jin Xiaoyu, she will be more angry.

His willingness to come back with her shows that she has won temporarily.

He was willing to come back with her, and her heart became more stable. Before, she always felt that everyone was relying on her. Now she seems to have a trace of dependence.

But she just refused to be soft.

Alas, in short, take your time.

Because she couldn't sleep well, she got up early to cook porridge. There were so many things every day, and she didn't have time to think too much.

Cook a large pot of porridge, and then prepare pancakes.

Wang Mudan and Li Hongmei also got up. Seeing ye alone busy, they hurried to help.

Then Wang Mudan suddenly pointed to the foot of the mountain: "Hey, isn't that Baoshan? Why did he carry water early in the morning?"

Ye Xiaoxian couldn't help it, so she looked down the mountain with Wang Mudan's hand.

When she saw xiaobaoshan carrying water, her heart pounded for no reason.

In the past, when he was in the village, he also carried water and firewood. In short, he scrambled for heavy work.

When they first went to the county to do business, he also picked jelly for her.

At that time, she especially liked to see the back of him picking things. It was so strong and powerful that it seemed effortless. It made people feel the burst of hormones in their body.

Unexpectedly, she will still be excited to see such a scene again now.

She was a little angry, so she turned away from xiaobaoshan.

"Baoshan, why don't you take a break and work as soon as you get to the tribe?" Li Hongmei is distressed.

Xiao Baoshan put down the bucket and said again, "it doesn't take much effort. Besides, my body is well and I see leaves again..."

"Are you carrying water for the leaves? That's right, right." Li Hongmei's attitude became very fast.

Wang Mudan was amazed.

Ye Xiaoxian could not laugh or cry, as if she had returned to the time when Li Hongmei set her up with Xiao Baoshan.

Xiao Baoshan asked Ye Xiaoxian, "I know everyone is busy, so I can't be idle. In fact, I can do anything. Ye can arrange me to do some work."

Ye Xiaoxian said unhappily, "of course. Now everyone is busy, and there's no reason for you to have a free meal, but you've just come to the tribe and you're not familiar with a lot of work. Then go to the firewood cutting team first, and follow the camel team."

Li Hongmei immediately said, "no, the camel team certainly can't. There's enough people over there. You'd better cut firewood, or you can do shopping with member Liu. In short, don't go to the camel team first."

The camel team left for a month or so. If xiaobaoshan left, how could he get in touch with Ye Xiaoxian.

So Xiao Baoshan followed the firewood cutting team to cut firewood that day.

……

At noon that day, doriku came here.

In addition to his work, he also wants to come and see xiaobaoshan.

It was lunchtime when xiaobaoshan and the firewood cutting team happened to come back from the mountain. They saw xiaobaoshan carrying a large bundle of firewood. He was tall and had no trouble carrying that bundle of firewood.

Doriku's eyes suddenly appeared unconvinced.

And a trace of jealousy.

It turned out that he was a man with leaves in mind. It turned out that he was so good-looking and had a unique temperament. At first glance, he was not an ordinary man.

However, doriku was still unconvinced.

In addition to being tall, men are also good at fighting. Most importantly, they can protect women.

Although xiaobaoshan used to be a big man, now he is just a woodcutter. Ye never forgot him. Maybe she will get tired of it after a while?

There is a custom of robbing relatives in the tribe. If you like other people's wives, you can challenge them. As long as the woman agrees, you can rob other people's wives.

Although few people use this trick, this behavior is also allowed in the tribe.

Doriku got home with jealousy and poured a big jar of wine.

……

Capital.

Today's ministers came very early. Half an hour ago, all civil and military officials were waiting outside.

The ministers discussed one after another: "Beiqing provoked Heihe village yesterday, and more than 1000 of our officers and soldiers died. What should we do if we go on like this?"

"Beiying is getting bolder and bolder. We ceded Mobei to them before. Unexpectedly, they are not satisfied."

“……”

The gate of the palace opened soon, and eunuch Xuan Qun's ministers went to court.

Li Chengkun sat on the Dragon chair and looked serious.

He looked at the following civil and military officials and asked, "the Zhongqing family should know about Beiqing's provocation of Heihe village. What do you suggest?"

The old prime minister was the first to stand up and said in righteous words: "Beiqing's provocation is not once or twice. They provoked once last month, and we tolerated it. Now they have killed more than 1000 officers and soldiers. If we don't send troops again, Beiqing will certainly be an unscrupulous General of our Dynasty, and will only intensify in the future. Therefore, the old minister advocates an attack."

After the old Prime Minister stood up, five ministers immediately seconded it and all advocated going to war.

At this time, the national master also stood up. The national master first snorted coldly and then said, "do you literary ministers know how to fight? You don't know how many manpower will be consumed and how many casualties will be caused after a war? You only know that you open your mouth, open your mouth and shut your mouth and shout to fight. Do you go to the battlefield?"

The old prime minister said angrily, "if I'm young and know martial arts, it's OK for me to go to the battlefield. Of course, war will cause casualties, but what about not fighting? Beiqing will only become more arrogant. Their purpose is to go to Heihe River."

"So what?" Asked the national teacher.

"Heihe is the territory of our Dynasty. The territory is not easy to invade. We should not give in between cities. Even if it will cause sacrifice, we will never allow them to invade."

The national master hummed coldly again: "if you send your children to war, will you?"

"As long as you can work for the imperial court, why not?" The prime minister asked.

Facing Li Chengkun, the national teacher said again: "Your Majesty, I don't agree with the prime minister. I believe that for the sake of today, I should send envoys to Beiqing to make peace with the emperor of Beiqing."

Li Chengkun asked, "what if Beiqing asked me to cede Heihe village to them?"

The national teacher said, "then cede it. You can marry a princess. Heihe village is regarded as the princess's dowry. The two countries marry to ensure the stability of our country."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiang was immediately angry: "no, Heihe village is our important boundary in the north, and the people there are the people we pray for. We can't let them fall into the hands of Beiqing people. Otherwise, even if they don't die in war, they will be excluded and exploited by Beiqing people, just like putting them in deep water and fire."

The national teacher said, "that's always better than fighting. Marriage only damages a city, so it's not necessary to fight a war. Let's not say whether we can win or not. If this war comes down, it will inevitably cause a deficit in the national treasury, which is not what we want to see."

The prime minister's beard was almost crooked: "bastard, confused, you just want to sit firmly in the position of Supreme Master in the capital and have fun with the empress dowager, but you don't care about the life and death of the people in the border areas and faint ministers!"

"You... You..." the national teacher didn't expect the prime minister to speak so plainly, so he said to Li Chengkun: "Your Majesty's lesson, the old minister really wanted to pray for the people of the dynasty. Unexpectedly, the prime minister slandered the Empress Dowager. As the emperor's mother, the Empress Dowager is ice qingyujie. How can she bear such a stigma and ask the emperor to cure the prime minister's sin!"

The prime minister snorted coldly: "national teacher, don't think others don't know what you do. Now you are lawless and despise the national law by relying on your Majesty's trust and the Empress Dowager's support. If Heihe villa is really occupied, you are the sinner of Great Prayer!"

The national master flopped down on his knees and shouted to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I just say what I think and advocate peace. I don't want the people to be devastated by the war. Unexpectedly, the prime minister said that the old minister colluded with the Empress Dowager and that the old minister despised the national law. I swear that I have no intention. Please make decisions for the old minister and give him justice!"

In the hall, everyone dared not speak.

Originally it was advice. Each family said their own ideas, but I didn't expect the prime minister to be so frank and pull out the Empress Dowager.

Although everyone knows about the Empress Dowager and the national teacher, no one dares to mention it in front of the hall.

The national teacher is deeply favored by the emperor. The prime minister is afraid to suffer.

Sure enough, Li Chengkun was furious. With a wave of his hand, he said, "the prime minister is old and disrespectful. He slanders the Empress Dowager. Come, get rid of the black hat on the prime minister's head, and then put him in prison and wait for him to fall."

The prime minister said sadly, "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if the old minister doesn't become an official. It doesn't matter if you want to kill the old minister. It's just related to the country and the territory of our Dynasty. You must not seek peace, your majesty..."

The prime minister was soon dragged down.

He was old, and two bodyguards dragged him like a leaf.

Many loyal officials in the Court felt sorry in their hearts. The prime minister and the elders of the three dynasties worked hard for the Great Prayer of the court and made great achievements. Unexpectedly, they came to this end.

I hope the emperor can look at his achievements and stay around him for a few days.

In the hall, the national master looked at the prime minister being dragged down, and he couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile.

I've long wanted to get rid of this old thing, but I haven't found a chance. Now the opportunity is just right.
