I just felt a "buzz" in my ears, and the whole person froze there.

"what?!"

"Did you see Lier? Did Lier come back?"

I hurried forward to grab her arm and glared at her vigorously: "What are you talking about? What's the matter with you?"

"Li Zier said today that he wanted to see Jiang. I thought it was okay, so I took her there, but who knows—" Han Ruoshi was a little bit panted, and when she said that, her voice couldn't come out. After reluctantly taking a sigh of relief, I went on to say, "When we crossed the river, we found that there were a lot of people on the ferry used by officials there, crowded, and there seemed to be something serious. As a result, when we crossed the river, we were on the road. I heard people from Yangzhou say that today, the government of Yangzhou is going to go to sea. "

"what?!"

I was stunned.

Yin of Yangzhou Prefecture goes to sea?

Liu Qinghan, did he go to sea today? !!

Immediately I felt a mess in my head, and the whole person was at this time.

Is he going to sea? !!

Yes, he is, of course, going to sea.

Fo Lang machine artillery, this matter has been around for a long time. With Pei Yuanzhang's personality, it is impossible to give up such a weapon, let alone let them fall into the hands of others. Therefore, it is inevitable to go out to find the sea.

But why is he? !!

He is just a Shangshu, the Yin of the Yangzhou Prefecture, and no matter how powerful, he is just a civil official. He pulled Yangzhou back in the hands of Pei Yuanxiu. It is already a life of nine deaths. Didn't he put him in the most dangerous situation?

But that's all.

After all, he himself said that the princes of the princes bear the worries of the princes.

But-Lili? !!

I grabbed Han Ruoshi's hand and could not help tightening it, my fingertips splattered a few blood marks on her white wrist.

Han Ruoshi groaned a little, but couldn't break it out of my hands. She could only bite her teeth and said, "When she heard about it, she was anxious to go to the dock. I couldn't help but I was able to take her there, but there were too many people on the dock. As soon as we got there, we were scattered by the crowd. I could n’t find her everywhere, and I was worried that she could n’t find me. , I heard the son said that she last crossed the river by herself ... "

She didn't finish her words, I let go of her hand and rushed out of the door.

"Sister Qingying ..."

Han Ruosi's voice sounded in the back, and my leg just stopped coming out of the door.

"Sister Qingying?"

She was still standing there looking at me, but saw that I turned pale again and walked towards the house.

She seemed to be unable to keep up with my rhythm, and it was difficult to take a few more steps. She couldn't help me, she just shouted the waitress who hurried over not far away and asked them to follow me.

|

I walked quickly inside the house.

This huge mansion, in fact, I have n’t completely figured it out. Before, Pei Yuanxiu only took me and Lier to walk through some places, but I still secretly took a few of the more important positions. Including the front, through a promenade, you can see a quiet small courtyard. On the wall of the corner, a few unbranched plum branches emerge, and there is where Pei Yuanxiu is busy every day.

Chamber of Commerce.

However, at this time, it was very quiet here.

I walked hurriedly, opened the door, and saw that there was nothing inside, not even one.

"Yuan Xiu?"

I walked into the room and looked at both sides. Although there was still a side hall, covered by a bead curtain, the curtain was quiet and did not move.

Strange, didn't he say that there are still things to do today, why not in the Cabinet?

Moreover, Han Zitong was not there.

I was suddenly anxious, although the weather was cold and cold sweats came out-if they are there, they can immediately deploy staff. After all, there are so many people coming and going on the dock. I ’m alone, even if I bring Han Ruosi, and then bring around The few maids were not enough to find.

But where did they go?

I was so anxious that I couldn't help but reached out my desk case and hurriedly turned around to go out.

At that moment, the mountain of booklets on the desk case fell down and fell to my feet, and I crouched down and picked it up.

And the words above are clearly reflected in my eyes-

Runan Yuan's urgently told His Royal Highness to write.

Runan Yuan's?

These words pierced into my eyes like the tip of a needle.

Runan, Yuan? If I remember correctly, Yuan is a famous family in Henan Province, which is almost equivalent to the status of Han in Jiangnan. However, Henan Province is the closest to Gyeonggi and is also the place where the royal family first took it down. Although they gathered them together, they did not seize the opportunity like King Jiang Xia and asked for a king.

But their status is no different from Runan King.

What I did not expect was that they secretly had a relationship with Pei Yuanxiu, and in the letter, they even called Pei Yuanxiu a "prince"! ?

There was a sudden stun in my heart, too late to open the paperwork to look carefully, and hurriedly stood up.

Those other instruments on the desk--

I picked up another one with the words "Jinhou urgently told His Royal Highness."

And-the princes in the cloud said that His Royal Highness Your Royal Highness.

...

Looking at one by one, all those documents come from different regions and different names, but they all have a name--

His Royal Highness!

His Royal Highness ...

I looked at these words, and I was so familiar. I used to call them many times in the palace, but at this time, behind the pure white paper and black words, there was a burst of blood, as if to dye the whole world in an instant. red.

A familiar voice sounded at my ear, saying with deep anxiety--

"... Those who are powerful and noble have only interests in their eyes and no courtesy. They will not be loyal to the monarch. Whoever gives them benefits and who protects them will support them."

"... but in other places? Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi ... Although there are no kings in those places, they also have the same powerful and gentlemen as the Han sisters. The emperor is now bullying and weakening. They, their interests have been violated, will they still serve the emperor ... "

"And, just in the Jiangnan area, there can be such a big civil unrest, if those powerful gentry in other places are also--"

"If they are united again ..."

My heart froze, and the fingers holding a book tightened almost spasmodically.

The instrument was crumpled into my hands.

In the words of Wei Ningyuan, his worry ... seems to have become a reality!

Pei Yuanzhang's implementation of the New Deal in the Central Plains, including a large part of the reform of the tax system, has indeed violated the interests of those powerful gentry. As he said, these people do not have the idea of ​​loyalty to the monarch, but only the greed to pursue interests. If, instead, they take profits from their hands, then their ultimate choice will be ...

I lower my head and look at the four words written on the desk case, which are written horizontally--

His Royal Highness!

At this moment, the door that had been completely covered by the wind opened with a bang, and slammed into the walls on both sides. I looked up sharply and saw several servants hurried in, Seeing me standing by the desk case, my face suddenly changed.

"lady?!"

"Why is your lady here?"

"My son has already ordered it, and my wife should go back to the inner court to rest."

...

I settled down, put the papers that had been rubbed a little in my hands back on the table, turned around and looked at their disappointed expressions, and said calmly: "I want to come to him. Yuan Xiu, where are others? ? "

"The son is not in the Cabinet."

"Is it?"

A few of them have already displayed the "Please" gesture at the door, and I walked out of the room, but the mood was not relaxed because I walked out of the room. Instead, I was more depressed: "I'm gone, I want Look for Yuan Xiu, or Miss Zitong, and let them quickly send someone to the pier and cross the river to find it. "

"Miss Li is gone?"

Those faces looked at each other, and they were all startled. Obviously, the previous runaway had left them a deep shadow.

I took a deep breath: "What about Yuan Xiuren?"

They glanced at each other and one of them said, "Mrs. Hui, today is the day when Yao Lao's ship is going to sea, so both the son and Miss Zitong have gone to the river."

"What? The old ship went to sea today?"

"Yes. Early in the morning, they all passed."

"..."

"Ma'am? Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"Ma'am, are you uncomfortable?"

Some of them had been completely frightened by my sudden pale complexion, and came forward one after another. At this time, the maids who had followed Han Ruoshi's order came up, and all came forward when I saw me like this. Come to help me, said anxiously, "Are you unwell? Madam? Let's go and ask a doctor."

"Come on!"

I gritted my teeth, barely stood still with their help, and raised my hand: "No need."

"lady?"

"Mrs. how are you?"

I subconsciously tried to push their hands away, but found that I still had a loose hand and foot. There was no way to support my shaky body, and I could barely stand against them.

I bit my lower lip hard and almost broke my lips. After struggling for a long time, I slowly raised my head and said to two of the maids, "Go to the inner courtyard at once and pack a few pieces of my clothes. The thicker the better. "

"Ma'am, what is this?"

"Don't ask. When you're done, you'll be sent to the dock immediately."

"..."

They glanced at each other and didn't know what was wrong, but immediately leaned over and said, "Yes, ma'am."

After speaking, he turned and hurriedly walked towards the inner courtyard.

I looked up again and looked at the other attendants and maids, and said something dumbly, "Send me to the dock."

"..."

"fast!"
