The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 340: three year agreement
Chapter 340 Three-Year Agreement
The emperor ordered the Ministry of Revenue to urgently transfer the grain from the granary, and Prince Liang, Li Mingrui and General Shi Panshan traveled day and night to escort the grain to Hushui and Guangling, which were already filled with disaster victims.
The Minister of Revenue, Chu Zhongxing, continued to requisition grain.
Bai Qingyan heard that the disaster relief work was to be managed by Li Mao’s son Li Mingrui, assisted by General Shi Panshan, and Prince Liang, as a member of the royal family, was barely the deputy manager.
Minister of Revenue Chu Zhongxing, Left Prime Minister Li Mao, King Liang…
Sure enough, they were all mixed together.
Compared to the crown prince who has already taken the throne, if Li Mao could help Prince Liang ascend the throne, he would be the first meritorious official.
She put away the red tasseled silver spear, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and moved her wrists.
The exposure of the famine in Yanwo could not only divert attention from the imperial examination fraud case, but also provide an opportunity for Prince Liang to reappear before the emperor, and also allow Li Mingrui, the son of the left prime minister Li Mao, to come to the fore.
Therefore…King Liang and Li Mingrui will definitely do their best to deal with the famine in Yan and Wo this time.
In this case, Bai Qingyan is not worried that corruption and embezzlement will lead to the deaths of more innocent people.
She stood under the corridor, thinking about the disaster victims who had fled to Pingyang City. If… she could lead these victims to Youhua Road and let Ajue take over, that would be a source of troops.
The army comes from the people. The more people there are, the more soldiers there are. The stronger the people are, the stronger the army is.
Bai Qingyan went back to his room, wrote a letter, sealed it, asked Chuntao to give the letter to Lupin, and ordered someone to send it to General Shen Liangyu of the Bai family army in southern Xinjiang by express horse.
After Chun Tao helped Bai Qingyan take a bath, she stood under the lamp and twisted Bai Qingyan’s hair. Tong Ma and two maids came in with a newly sewn iron sandbag, looking distressed: “Young lady, this iron sandbag is too heavy.”
“It’s okay once you get used to it.” She turned a page of the book, looked at Nanny Tong with a frown and smiled, “This is my way of being lazy, it’s already much easier. Besides, even if it’s not for anything else, my health is getting better day by day, Nanny should be happy.”
Seeing Bai Qingyan’s health getting better day by day, Nanny Tong was happy.
Doctor Hong said that year that Bai Qingyan injured his lower dantian, lost all his martial arts, and had little chance of having children. Nanny Tong cried all the time, saying that losing all his martial arts didn’t matter, but why did it become so difficult for him to have children?
Now the eldest girl is getting stronger day by day, and she is gradually recovering what she has learned. Nanny Tong always feels that in terms of offspring… God will not treat the eldest girl so unfairly.
Early the next morning, Nanny Tong ordered someone to harness the carriage and took a team of guards to follow Bai Qingyan out of the city to the residence of Mr. Guan Yongchong.
The great scholars Guan Yongchong and Cui Shiyan lived in the bamboo forest of Anyu Mountain outside the city all year round, devoting themselves to the mountains and rivers.
Bai Jinzhi insisted yesterday that she wanted to go with Bai Qingyan to visit Mr. Guan, and she went on horseback today.
As soon as the people from Zhenguo County Princess’ Mansion left the city, they happened to meet the Xiliang peace negotiation team on their way back.
Li Zhijie’s subordinates saw Bai Jinzhi riding a horse from afar. They rode their horses faster and walked to Li Zhijie’s carriage. They bent over and said to Li Zhijie in the carriage, “Your Majesty, Princess Gaoyi is riding out of the city.”
Li Zhijie, who had his eyes closed while sitting in the carriage, opened them and asked, “Is the Gaoyi County Lady the only one there?”
“There is also a carriage. I think it belongs to the princess who guards the country.”
Li Zhijie was silent for a moment before speaking: “Stop the team. I have something to say to the Princess Zhenguo.”
“yes!”
The convoy returning from Xiliang slowly stopped, and Li Zhijie was helped out of the carriage by his personal attendant.
Bai Jinzhi saw Li Zhijie standing next to the team holding the flag of the Xiliang Guards, and lowered her voice to Bai Qingyan in the carriage, “Sister, it seems that Xiliang Yan Wang Li Zhijie is waiting for us!”
Thinking back to when the Crown Prince married Princess Xiliang as his concubine, Princess Xiliang was like a madman and wanted to kill her elder sister, Bai Jinzhi felt furious, fearing that Li Zhijie would do something weird again.
“No problem…”
Hearing his elder sister’s calm voice in the carriage, Bai Jinzhi calmed himself down, rode on the tall horse, and looked at Li Zhijie with cold and contemptuous eyes.
Seeing that Bai Qingyan and his party’s carriage was getting closer, Li Zhijie smiled and asked his subordinates to stop Bai Qingyan’s convoy.
“Princess, our master, King Yan, wants to apologize to you personally.” The servant wearing the Xiliang scimitar stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and then spoke.
Chuntao raised her hand and opened the curtain of the carriage.
Bai Qingyan looked towards Li Zhijie in the distance and said, “There’s no need to apologize. King Yan should think carefully on your way to Xiliang. The princess who was married to the emperor became an assassin… How can we compensate Dajin so as to avoid war?”
Seeing that Bai Qingyan had no intention of getting off the carriage, Li Zhijie walked towards Bai Qingyan’s carriage and bowed to apologize: “For what happened yesterday, Li Zhijie should apologize to the princess on behalf of me, Princess Xiliang.”
“King Yan, there is no need to be polite. Sending Princess Xiliang here for the marriage is a tough job. Your Majesty Yan’s trip was really hard. Is your injury… okay?” Bai Qingyan’s voice was filled with a faint smile.
Li Zhijie pressed the wound on his shoulder and stroked the fine cotton cloth wrapped around his neck. “Yes, it was really hard. Ever since I negotiated peace with the Princess Zhenguo and her entourage, I have been injured one after another and almost lost my life. It seems… the Feng Shui of the Great Jin is really incompatible with me! If I am lucky enough to enter Jin again in the future, I will have to wait until the Feng Shui of Jin changes drastically.”
Bai Qingyan’s eyes flashed darkly: “From what King Yan said, are you interested in improving the Feng Shui for me?”
“I don’t have that ambition, but… the people of Jin are not so optimistic. The Feng Shui of the royal family is the Feng Shui of the whole country.” Li Zhijie turned his palm downwards and said, “The change of imperial power is often just a matter of moments. Princess, do you think what I said is right?”
She looked at Li Zhijie and said with a smile: “King Yan’s words seem to be instigating a quarrel between the ruler and his subjects of Jin.”
“Whether it’s instigation or what the princess is thinking, the princess knows…” Li Zhijie smiled faintly, “Otherwise, why didn’t you tell the Emperor of Dajin that one of the Bai family members is still alive?”
“How do you know that this is not the result of a discussion between me and the future king of Jin… His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?” Her eyes were steady and determined as she stared deeply at Li Zhijie. “Let me guess. King Yan is trying to use this to threaten me to speak for Xiliang. It’s a pity that what you have in your hand is not even a handle…”
Bai Qingyan spoke slowly and calmly, with a power that made people believe it.
Or perhaps it was because Bai Qingyan’s expression was too calm and cool, making it impossible for Li Zhijie to find any flaws, and Li Zhijie’s suspicions were shaken.
“Instead of worrying about other countries’ affairs here, King Yan should return to Xiliang as soon as possible and assist your Xiliang Empress. After all, after this incident… Xiliang will no longer be as glorious as it was in the past, and Xiliang’s Auxiliary General Yun Poxing and I still have a three-year agreement!” Bai Qingyan raised his lips coldly, “If he doesn’t come, I will go.”
Ahhhhhhh… please give me a monthly ticket!
