Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 800
Liu Yunxiang insisted on living in Wanchun Garden, but rejected Li Huai's kindness.Li Huai was a little displeased, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Wanchun Garden is beautiful, but it's not as clean as at home." Mrs. Li paused for a while when she said this, "Especially your status is precious, so you can't be sloppy in terms of safety. How about this, my husband will send more guards to guard the princess's place That yard. By the way, we need to send some servants to serve, food and clothing, and everything must be thoughtful and meticulous.”

"Mrs. Li, I really don't need to trouble you."

"If you want it, let's say you have a problem in Yanzhou, we can't explain it to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, nodded and said with a smile, "Okay then."

However, she asked Li Huai and his wife not to reveal her identity, "I came to Yanzhou to do business, and it's not very convenient to have the status of Princess Zhenbei."

Li Huai and Mrs. Li agreed with their mouths, and kept it safe.

When they came to Wanchun Garden and heard that Liu Yunxiang was going to live there, Yuanwai Gao was very enthusiastic.Seeing that Mrs. Li was busy in front and back, and that she had appointed guards and sent servants to serve her, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"Forgive me for my lack of knowledge, I don't know if it is your residence?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "I actually came to Yanzhou to do business."

"Doing business?"

"Gao Yuanwai is a cloth merchant. You should know that the brocade industry in Jiangnan was very prosperous in the past. The brocade silk produced is not only in Darong, but also famous in the ten directions. After the Nanzhou riots, the brocade industry in Jiangnan It was hit hard, and it is still sluggish. I bought a brocade workshop in Jiangnan, and I wanted to revitalize the brocade industry in Jiangnan, but my own strength was weak, so I wanted to cooperate with some cloth merchants."

Liu Yunxiang did come to Yanzhou for this purpose. Yanzhou also has a local textile industry, which mainly produces coarse and cotton cloth, which is suitable for ordinary people to buy. However, Yanzhou also has Yanjin, which is characterized by gorgeous colors. She has seen it once. It's as if the colorful clouds are woven, it's amazing.It's just that Yan brocade is not well-known, not as good as Shu brocade and Yun brocade, which are hard to see in silk and satin villages in other places.

"The boss of Luoxia Cloth Shop, do you know Gao Yuanwai?"

Gao Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to cooperate with her?"

"Yes, I heard that Luoxia Cloth Shop has its own workshop, specializing in the production of Yan brocade."

"I do know."

Liu Yunxiang was overjoyed, "I would like to ask Yuanwai Gao to introduce you to me."

Gao Yuanwai had a puffed stomach and scratched the back of his head, as if he was a little bit embarrassed.Hongxuan said a few words for Liu Yunxiang, and asked Gao Yuanwai to help him with this.

"Since the Taoist priest said it, then I will go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, and I will definitely help with this."

The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched. She was just asking him for a favor, and it was a small favor.

The room was tidied up, Liu Yunxiang just sat down, Mrs. Li came again, she changed her clothes, her outer clothes were as bright as a rainbow, and she seemed to be able to shine when she walked around.

"The color of Mrs. Li's dress is really nice."

When Mrs. Li was overjoyed, she immediately felt a little flustered, "It depends on who wears it... Cough, of course, it looks better if the princess wears it."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Is this fabric Yanjin?"

"Wangfei knows the goods, it is Yanjin."

"Where did Mrs. Li buy it?"

"Luoxia cloth line."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, and was about to ask a few more questions, when Madam Li directed the maid behind her to put a food box up.The food box was opened, and a strong smell of oil spread over the surface, Liu Yunxiang might as well, immediately felt sick.

Since she became pregnant, she has been eating food that is not too oily, and she can't smell oily.

"Ah, princess, what's the matter with you?" Mrs. Li hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.

Liu Yunxiang waved his hand, pointed at the food box, and asked Zijin to take it further away.

Mrs. Li snorted, "This is the famous fried sugar bun in Yanzhou. I brought it to you as soon as it was hot. Don't you like it?"

"I can't eat too much oil these days."

Mrs. Li looked at Liu Yunxiang, thought for a while, and asked, "Are you happy?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head and smiled, "No, it's just that I have a bad stomach recently."

"That's how it is." Madam Li asked the maids to put away the food box and let them take it outside.

Liu Yunxiang had been running around for a whole day, and after she was pregnant, she couldn't eat well and her energy couldn't keep up. At this moment, she just felt very tired and yawned repeatedly, but this Mrs. Li was reminiscing about the old days with her.

"Mrs. Li, it's almost time for dinner." Liu Yunxiang reminded.

"That's right, I ordered a table of dishes in Tian'an Tower, do you think we should go there to eat or let them bring it here?"

Liu Yunxiang had no choice but to say: "I'm tired, let's talk about it another day."

Mrs. Li's smile froze for a moment, and then she forced a smile, "Then tomorrow, I will prepare a banquet at home and invite the wives of some Yanzhou local officials, so you can join me."

Liu Yunxiang was about to refuse, but Mrs. Li said again: "Don't worry, your identity will not be revealed. Besides, these ladies have a lot of contacts. If you want to do business in Yanzhou, you must deal with them."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine."

After dismissing Mrs. Li, Liu Yunxiang ate a little dinner, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

The next day, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to go to Qu Moran's place first, and learned that Li Zhu hadn't shown up yet.

"Doctor Qu is very worried about him," Zijin said.

"Maybe I should tell her the truth."

If Li Zhu never comes back, the more you look forward to, the more damage will be done.

Hongxuan wanted to go to a place called Qi County under Yanzhou. Last spring there was a drought in this place. The memorial submitted by Yang He stated that the rice seedlings died and there was no harvest. Tens of thousands of people needed relief food.

"Yang He wanted relief from the imperial court, but after three years of riots, in order to raise military salaries, the grain depot was empty. He even submitted three memorials, and all three memorials were suppressed. In the end, the imperial court did not give Qi County a single grain of relief grain. .” Hongxuan stroked his beard and said.

Xue Changfeng's eyes widened, "The grain depot is empty, and other places can give relief first, even if the tax and grain for the next year should be paid first. We must find a way, so we can't just watch the people starve to death, right?"

Hongxuan shook his head, "The emperor suppressed the fold, and all the officials covered their eyes and closed their ears, no matter whether they asked or listened."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Last spring, His Royal Highness Seventh Prince and I just returned to Beijing, so we really didn't know about it."

"The concubine donated [-] shi of grain last year, which is already an immeasurable merit. There are so many suffering people in Dayong, no matter how powerful you are, you can't help them."

Xue Changfeng gritted his teeth, "The people are the foundation of the country. The court, regardless of whether the people live or die, is like a beam that begins to rot, and will collapse sooner or later!"

Hongxuan breathed a sigh of relief, "If you want to keep from collapsing, you have to erect a new beam and remove the rotten one."

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a while, and then said: "The two of you should go and see the situation. I'm quite curious about how Yang He resolved this crisis."
