After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains
Chapter 125 Nothing is as kind as money
In the original book, in the second year after Yan Changqing returned to Beijing to offer captives, the situation in Beirong changed again.
As a result, Yan Changqing was attacked from all sides.
Could it be related to this mysterious Western tribe?
Qin Yaoguang held the light apricot silk handkerchief in her hand tightly, and her breathing became stagnant unconsciously.
Before she traveled through the book, she was born in a peaceful modern era, where her motherland was prosperous and fearless of foreign enemies.
She had never been so close to war.
That day, the bloody scene that Yan Changqing brought to her when he told her about that year seemed to be slowly unfolding before her eyes again.
No!
She couldn't just sit back and watch this happen.
It was not to protect Yan Changqing from being attacked, but for the sake of the Beirong border which had finally been stabilized.
In order to prevent the emergence of orphans like the third and fifth brothers, and to prevent the people living in border areas from being displaced.
Soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed their lives in order to charge into battle.
For the Great Jing Dynasty.
Qin Yaoguang never thought that he was actually a person who cared about the world.
But when the time came, she found that she couldn't just watch it happen.
Even though it was just a not particularly important plot in the original book and a local war that was quickly quelled by Yan Changqing, it also involved the lives of thousands of people.
After Sudiya finished her story, a strange atmosphere filled the Mingguang Hall.
The interpreters' faces all had an expression that said, "It's over. I think I accidentally found out some big secret. What should I do? Will I be silenced?"
While Qin Yaoguang was thinking, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a while, she let go of the handkerchief in her hand with a solemn expression.
"Everyone," Qin Yaoguang's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and said in a deep voice, "What I said today, if anyone else knows it, I am too lazy to track down who was unable to keep the secret, and they will all be sentenced to death and all nine generations of their clan will be exterminated!"
She deliberately emphasized the tone of the last few words, and they landed with a loud bang, like a huge rock hitting everyone's heart.
Overwhelmed by her power, Nanny Deng, Guyu, Sudiya, the interpreters, and the servants in the room all knelt on the ground, raised their hands and swore not to reveal a single word.
Collective punishment is the most inhumane yet most effective ancient law.
"Everyone, get up."
Qin Yaoguang asked slowly, "What are you doing here today?"
"Your Highness, I came to the Princess's residence today to test Madam Su. She is proficient in five northern Rong tribal languages and multiple dialects, and is qualified to be the translator of the Honglu Temple."
Perhaps because of what he had learned in the Honglu Temple, Song Guanghong's response this time was very much in line with Qin Yaoguang's wishes.
"Did you all hear it?" Qin Yao raised her tail slightly.
"Your Highness, I heard everything you said."
Qin Yaoguang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "So, according to what Lord Song said, when can Madam Su start work?"
"I will report to my superiors when I return to the yamen," Song Guanghong bowed, "The Prince Consort is about to escort the northern barbarian captives to the capital, and I think the yamen is in urgent need of manpower."
No matter how low-ranking an interpreter is, he is still a Beijing official.
Song Guanghong did not make a final statement because he still had to go through the procedures of the Ministry of Personnel.
"it is good."
Qin Yaoguang agreed immediately and said, "In that case, I will wait for your news. Don't make me wait too long."
Go ahead, she signaled to Nanny Deng with her eyes.
Nanny Deng picked up a small rectangular rosewood tray and walked in front of the interpreters.
The small tray was covered with a piece of gold and red diamond-patterned satin, and underneath it was a ridge in the shape of a gold ingot.
The interpreters were envious, but they did not dare to step forward due to the princess's power.
Qin Yaoguang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. This is just a small gift of thanks. I hope you will accept it."
She knew that the translator was poor.
In order to open up the Beirong trade route, she needed more than just Sudiya as an interpreter.
Su Diya had a rough life, and Qin Yaoguang did not intend to send her to the most difficult front line.
In her opinion, Song Guanghong in front of her is very good.
He has a strong talent for languages, is adaptable, has experience and knowledge, and is familiar with Beirong affairs.
As for loyalty, she is not in a hurry and will cultivate it slowly.
And more often than not, loyalty and interests are synonymous.
Hit it with silver first.
After she said this, Nanny Deng gently lifted the satin covering the silver.
On the rosewood tray, a row of silver ingots, each weighing ten taels, were neatly arranged, shining brightly.
Even the mature and steady Song Guanghong couldn't help swallowing.
The salaries of officials in the Dajing Dynasty consisted of rice, silk, and money.
When had they ever seen so much silver?
Nanny Deng smiled and said, "Please accept His Highness's kindness, and please take care of Madam Su in our mansion."
Song Guanghong bowed his hands in thanks: "I thank Her Royal Highness the Princess for her gift!"
He spoke, and the interpreters followed.
There were a limited number of silver ingots on the tray, and each person took just one.
Putting the silver in their arms, everyone's face showed joy.
It was certainly unpleasant to hear a secret that could lead to the execution of nine generations of your clan for no reason, but money was really nice.
Isn't it just a secret?
No one knew about this kind of thing originally.
Just don't talk too much.
Not difficult.
At this time, Chunfen returned to Mingguang Hall.
The two servants following behind her were holding a long oil-paper tube, which contained a map taken from the study in the outer courtyard.
The map was very large, so after Song Guanghong took it, he simply spread it out on the ground.
Based on what Sudiya said, we can infer the location of the Western Region tribe where she stayed that year.
When everyone saw it, they all frowned.
This place, close to the royal court, is the heartland of the Northern Rong.
"What do you think?"
Qin Yaoguang asked.
Now, they knew the same secret and were grasshoppers on the same rope. There was nothing to hide, so they spoke freely.
In this era, those who can understand the Northern Rong language know more about the Northern Rong than ordinary people.
After listening to their respective opinions, Qin Yaoguang nodded thoughtfully and said, "Thank you all for your hard work."
No matter how low-ranking the translator is, he is still an official of the imperial court.
Qin Yaoguang asked Nanny Deng to send them out, and she and her people paced unconsciously in the garden.
At first, she rescued Su Diya and others in Chunning Mansion out of just a little pity.
Unexpectedly, this kindness would be rewarded so greatly, allowing her to learn of such a huge conspiracy.
If Sudiya had not been a slave at the time, others who went to the prairie would have had no way of knowing about this deliberately hidden Western tribe.
There is still a year left, so she still has time to think about how to break the impasse.
However, building the Beirong trade route is not a one-time effort. If you count the people she has trained and can be used now, they are still confined to the princess's mansion and their role in the capital is extremely limited.
Although he had formed an alliance with Concubine Jing, he could not be entrusted with this matter.
The political situation is treacherous and it is difficult to tell who is a human or a ghost.
After much thought, she decided that this matter would still fall on Yan Changqing.
However, she had already made up her mind that she would divorce Yan Changqing after he returned to Beijing.
Just as he thought of this, Qin Yaoguang heard the laughter of children coming from not far away.
It turned out that, without realizing it, she had already walked to the front of Zhufeng Courtyard.
