Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]

At the beginning of August, riots broke out in Jiangnan. The cause was that the continuous dry weather caused only [-]% of the early season crops to be harvested. The dry land made it impossible to plant the late season crops in large areas of farmland. The imperial court's indifference became more and more dissatisfied, and they broke the jars and caused some merchants to rob food openly.

At first, the governor of Jiangnan wanted to imprison all those who caused troubles, punish dozens of boards severely, and kill chickens to make an example of monkeys, so that the people below will behave in peace.But I didn't want to, but it aroused public anger, and the common people at the lower level started to make a fuss, which made things worse.

The paper couldn't contain the fire, so he had to report the matter to the court.At the same time, people in other places who suffered from natural disasters also followed suit and asked the imperial court to open warehouses for disaster relief.

"Princess, that rebel is extravagant. There have been many natural disasters in the past few years, and the treasury has been empty. Even if the rebel is considerate of the people, he can't provide much relief money. If this continues, the situation will only become more and more chaotic. If this continues If you let it go like this... it will hurt your vitality, according to Chen, it's better to do it as soon as possible..."

The little girl who was looking at the deployment map of the current palace raised her hand slightly, signaling Zhao Yaotang to stop first, and then turned her head to look at Gu Ci after a pause, "Sister, tell me that you were in Gujia Village at that time, after I went to Guizi Mountain in Nanshan, How did the villagers treat us?"

"Huh? They said that you were taken by the little ghost king from Guizi Mountain..." Gu Ci was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up as if he thought of something, "You mean..."

The little girl curled her lips into a smile, then looked at Zhao Yaotang again, "No hurry. Where are the general's 3 troops now?"

"In less than three days, we will be able to reach Sangzhipo, three hundred miles away."

"Separate 1000 people to the south of the Yangtze River, and let out rumors along the way. There have been natural disasters for three years in a row, all because the emperor has no virtue, and the gods punished them. In addition, let these 1000 people find out whether the person who took the lead in making trouble is really desperate, or is he? Someone with a heart instigated it, if you really have nowhere to go..."

As the little girl spoke, she paused for a moment and asked Gu Ci: "Sister, how much of the grain harvested in the past three years is still in the granary?"

"There are about [-] catties left." Gu Ci looked at her, "Is this food going to be used for disaster relief?"

"Yeah." The little girl nodded, and said with lowered eyes: "But not now, Brother Lu sent a message that someone is looking for Sister Sanmei's identity, since that person can follow Sister Sanmei's embroidery to find out In the end, it will be found on me soon. Sanmei's embroidery work is under my guidance. Needlework is better than I know.”

"What does the princess mean by that?"

"I think, my imperial sister will probably know that I'm still alive soon." The little girl's expression was serious, "Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. The icing on the cake is easy to forget, and the charcoal in the snow is what makes people remember. For the common people It is said that it is not important who is the emperor, what is important is what kind of life the emperor can give them. After five years, many people no longer remember who Anping is. Since they want to come back, they must be remembered by the people.”

"Princess, what do you mean, wait until your identity can no longer be concealed, and then go to disaster relief in your name?"

The little girl nodded, "Since the treasury is empty now, that person must be in a state of distress, the general is still trying to find ways to rescue my mother and concubine."

"The noble concubine has given birth now... The traitor has relaxed his vigilance a little and is no longer locked in the secret room. The eyeliner in the palace has already met the noble concubine. He sent the news that you are still alive. The noble concubine heard that you are still alive. The situation is much better now. I just received news today that the traitor wanted to accept the noble concubine as his concubine, and the noble concubine agreed. I feel that there must be a fraud in it. I am afraid that the traitor also fell for the noble concubine. Mental Gu worms."

The little girl clenched her fingers subconsciously, and said after a long while: "It's probably because my concubine knows that I'm still alive, and has a new hope, and I've made false claims with that traitor..."

Thinking of the noble concubine, Zhao Yaotang was noncommittal to the little girl's guess, "If so, then the traitor will definitely give the noble concubine a new identity, if he can put an eyeliner beside the noble concubine, then we..."

Gu Ci saw the little girl's hands clenched into fists from the side, knowing that she must be very uncomfortable at the moment, she was a little annoyed that she couldn't do anything, so she hesitated for a moment before saying: "Why don't you send me into the palace..."

"No, my sister doesn't know anything about the rules in the palace, there is a slight difference, that is..."

"It's just that I don't understand anything, so that people won't suspect that there are ulterior motives..."

"Sister, you'd better stop thinking about it." Before Gu Ci could finish speaking, the little girl raised her voice and interrupted her, "You just need to protect me."

The two were in a stalemate over this, and at night, the two calmly explained their plans in detail, and finally the little girl kissed the final word, and no one was allowed to take risks.

The next day, just as Zhao Yaotang told the little girl and Gu Ci the news he had received today, there was a sound of a maid buttoning a bookshelf outside the secret room.

"General, Madam asked the servants to invite you to the front hall. Princess Le Jia is here."

Hearing this, the three of them were taken aback, and Gu Ci looked at Zhao Yaotang with a defensive face, "What do you mean, General?"

Zhao Yaotang himself was also surprised, as if he realized Gu Ci's expression, "Princess, about the subject's return to Beijing, Princess Le Jia..."

"At this juncture, we will see each other sooner or later anyway, so there is no need to say too much, General." The little girl cut her off, "Speaking of which, I really want to meet my imperial sister."

Zhao Yaotang moved his lips, but in the end he didn't respond, and led the people out with his head down. The little girl and Gu Ci were both dressed as Zhao's maids, standing far outside the hall.

"I have seen the princess."

"General, you don't need to be too polite." Le Jia had been sitting in the hall for a while, and when he saw someone approaching, he put down the teacup in his hand, waved his hand, saw the anxious expression on his face, and smiled, "General, don't panic, today Both that person and my father knew about my visit to the Zhao Mansion, but what I told them was that I came to the Zhao Mansion to visit the old lady and inquire about your return to Beijing. In front of them are all useless and cowardly people, they will not guard against me."

If it hadn't been for knowing that the little girl was still alive, Zhao Yaotang, like the other veterans, would have Le Jia to support him.Therefore, Le Jia knew about her return to Beijing, but what Le Jia said now clearly meant something, "What does the princess mean by this? I don't understand."

Le Jia smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were warm, and a smile made people feel a little anxious, "I am here today to send news to the general. On the 25th of this month, it will be the Prince's Hundred Days Banquet. The mother of the first prince is Concubine Yi, and she entertained all the officials. By the way, Concubine Yi is my mother’s Concubine Lan, and she is now the Noble Lady of Yiqing Palace. That day must be the busiest time in the palace. Arrangement, I think the general doesn't need me to say more."

As he spoke, Le Jia took out a blueprint from his bosom and handed it over, with an indescribably lonely and sad expression, "I stole this from my father... Father... General, over the years, The Queen Mother has been locked in a secret room in the father's palace, whether it is me or the general, they are all pawns in his hands."

Zhao Yaotang hesitated to take the blueprint, with a difficult expression on his face, and didn't know whether to believe it or not. After hearing what Princess Anping said before, she knew that Le Jia and Qin Fengjun had no good intentions.

Tears flashed from the corners of Le Jia's eyes, and she raised her hand to wipe them casually. She knew her father was unwilling, but she never thought that her father was an accomplice in the rebellion of King Nan'an back then.

So what is she?What is it that I have obeyed his words for so many years?

"He originally didn't want the general to rescue the empress alive. If there were no accidents, he would ask the general to save the empress that night. Therefore, the general should do it early to save the empress. The Yiqing Palace is still heavily guarded. , but this time Concubine Lan followed that person's wishes, there must be something else hidden..." Le Jia raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yaotang, "The general told her that the imperial sister is still alive, right?"

"I don't understand..."

"Anping is still alive, and I am very pleased. Back then, the King of Nan'an couldn't find the imperial sister, so he searched secretly everywhere. Finally, my father told me that the imperial sister was at Yuchuan Lin's house, and told me that if we want to survive, father and daughter, we must Show your sincerity... In order to protect the royal sister, the Taifu did not hesitate to put her as his illegitimate daughter in the Yuchuan Lin family, but he didn't want the Lin family who didn't know Taishan to reject the royal sister very much. My father sent me to the Lin family At that time, the imperial sister had chickenpox, and the third lady let the doctor misdiagnose it as smallpox, and on the grounds that she could not infect me, sent someone to deal with it that night."

Thinking about the past, Le Jia's expression was a bit empty. Is there any complaint about the different treatment for so many years?some.But she still remembers the sweet smile that the royal girl gave her when she first saw her.That year, she was three years old.I also always remember the "Sister Huang" when the emperor girl was babbling and hobbled towards her.Let’s not forget the five-year-old little girl who promised her brazenly: In the future, when I become the King of Dajin, I will find the best person in the world to be the emperor’s brother-in-law for the emperor. If he treats my emperor badly, I cut off his head...

So she was cruel for a while, and when she came to her senses and sent someone to find her, she was mostly self-condemned in a midnight dream.

"I know I'm the emperor's sister, but I don't want to save it... Now that I know that the emperor's sister is still alive, it's really the best." Le Jia pressed the teacup again, and when he picked it up to take a sip, he realized that his hand was a little out of control. Trembling all the time, he hid his hands under his wide sleeves again, looked up and looked around, "I know the general is on guard against me, and I may not believe what I said today. But if the general can see the imperial sister, please say something on behalf of the palace. ——Le Jia has always remembered what she promised me when she was five years old, waiting for her to find the best man in the world to be the emperor's brother-in-law. Therefore, one thing Le Jia has always insisted on over the years is that she does not want to choose a son-in-law."

Zhao Yaotang had a panoramic view of her demeanor, and when she stood up staggeringly, he subconsciously stepped forward to give her a hand.

Le Jia got up and stood firm, and brushed her hand away, "This is all I have said, so I will stay soon. My father is gloomy, sensitive and suspicious, and since I can find out about the fact that the imperial sister is still alive, he It is definitely possible to find out, the general still made plans early. The general released the news of leading the army back to the capital. The general did not make it clear that he would attack the Zhao family, but he did not want to tear his face early. But once the army returns to the capital, the whole Zhao family will be... ...In addition, people everywhere are making troubles and the national treasury is empty. This disaster relief matter is a hot potato. That person has long been jealous of the wealth of the Lu family, and this time he will probably target the Lu family. Once the Lu family is pushed to the cusp of the storm Well, the [-] elite soldiers raised in the west of the city may also reveal their secrets."

After receiving so much information at once, Zhao Yaotang's mind was in a mess for a while, "I don't disbelieve the princess, but I just don't understand the princess' intention."

"Intent?" Le Jia was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "In my life, I was born without a choice, and I was forced to make a choice before I knew what I wanted. It's all involuntary. It's rare to be able to do something and say something according to your heart, and naturally you don't need to think about it."

"It's the minister who overstepped the bounds."

Le Jia shook his head lightly, "I'm bothering the general today."

"I respectfully send the princess off."

Le Jia walked out with his back to Zhao Yaotang, raised his hand to signal her not to be too polite, walked to the door, and the personal maid who was waiting at the side followed.She paused for a moment, looked to the side, and her eyes stopped on the little girl with her head down.

"What is the princess looking at?"

Le Jia withdrew his gaze, took another step, and said calmly: "The sweet-scented osmanthus tree over there is in bloom. Unfortunately, I will never meet the person who asked her to bathe her with sweet-scented osmanthus."

"Bathing with sweet-scented osmanthus? It's really strange."

"Strange people naturally do strange things..."

The voices of the master and servant gradually faded away, and the little girl raised her head to look at Le Jia's back. In the past, she had a good relationship with this imperial sister...

"Jiaojiao?"

"Yeah." The little girl came back to her senses, and pointed to the empty path again, "Didn't my sister ask me what kind of person Huangjie is? The woman wearing orchid embroidered Liuyun brocade just now is me." Sister Huang, when I was young, I was raised in Fengqi Palace of my mother and concubine, and she was raised in Qin Fengjun's Changxin Palace. There is a layer of fragrance, I like to go there the most, let her order the palace servants to beat osmanthus, and then use it to bathe, so that I can also smell so fragrant. But later, the mother wanted to make me the crown prince, and she didn't follow me. I have been in contact, and said that I will be the emperor's daughter in the future, so I can't take me out of business..."

The little girl said, choked up again: "Once I sneaked to Changxin Palace to look for her, just as she was kneeling in the yard, Qin Fengjun took a cane to smack her on the back, I heard her say with my own ears—— Le Jia will never associate with Anping again, and will study hard to surpass Anping, so as not to embarrass her father. From then on, I will never look for her again. The young Anping is not sensible. If you work hard, you want to embarrass them... Now I know that she has lived in such a way that she can't help but fight and rob me all these years."

"Since you sisters have misunderstood, it will be fine to explain clearly after the matter is over." Gu Ci did not witness the kindness and resentment between their sisters with his own eyes, nor could he empathize with her. For her, no one else is important, The important thing is the little girl, "Don't think too much about it."

The little girl wiped her tears and nodded. She will tell Sister Huang herself that she was at fault back then. For the sake of meeting her sister, she will forgive her for not knowing what happened. save.

With the news sent by Le Jia this time and the detailed layout of Qin Fengjun's palace, Zhao Yaotang rediscussed the next move with others.

Now that the Lu family was being watched closely this time, the little girl asked Lu Ming to take the initiative to donate 10 taels of disaster relief funds, and also asked all the food from the Lu family's rice shop to be used for disaster relief.

And it was Gong Yong, the Minister of the Household Department, who went to the court to volunteer for disaster relief. This man was originally a doctor of the Ministry of Industry. The position of servant, Hubu is an oily household, and he is considered similar to King Nan'an, and he has been used to spending time and drinking all these years.

Now that the national treasury is empty, and there are natural disasters, how can you not be sad when you see the 10 taels of silver donated by the Lu family?As soon as he gritted his teeth, he hid 9 taels of silver in his own house, put stones in the disaster relief fund, and shipped the remaining 1 taels to Jiangnan.
