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

Chapter 913 Yanzhou raises food
After separating from Shilang Liu, Liu Yunxiang did not dare to delay any longer and continued his journey north.She had ordered the caravan under Lingyun to send the food collected along the road to Lingnan.

This was not military pay given by the imperial court, so she could only transport it in her own name and with her own people.

After crossing the Yellow River that day, an official was waiting at the ferry.

Feng Zheng recognized the official first, "Old Wangtou, why are you here?"

The official was about fifty years old and not tall. There were too many people disembarking from the boat and it was bustling. He looked around on tiptoes but didn't see him. Fortunately, Feng Zheng saw him.

"Mistress! Oh, you still have good eyesight!" The officer breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly came up to greet her.

When he arrived, Wang Xiangmian hurriedly saluted Liu Yunxiang.

"Princess, our palace has asked our subordinates to wait for you here. Please go to Yanzhou."

"But what's the urgency?"

"The carriage is ready for you."

Wang Xiangmian pointed to the carriage in the distance. Liu Yunxiang originally wanted to go back to Shengjing directly, but after thinking about it, he decided to get on the carriage and go to Yanzhou first.

"Yang He had better be in an emergency, otherwise I won't let him go!"

When Feng Zheng heard that he was going to Yanzhou, he was very happy, "I want to tell Yang Futai that I want to marry Zijin."

Zi Jin kicked him and said, "I haven't agreed to marry you yet!"

"I'm not in a hurry, but I have to inform Yang Futai, otherwise he will always worry about my marriage. Waiting for the Crown Princess to agree, waiting for you to agree, and waiting for the war in Lingnan to settle down, then we can get married."

"Oh, it turns out you have already planned it."

"I think about it during the day and at night. Anyway, I just think about it when I have free time."

How could Liu Yunxiang not know about Feng Zheng and Zijin? It was just that he had more urgent matters at the moment, so he could only put it aside for now.

This place is not far from Yanzhou, and we arrived in two days' walk.

Yang He received the letter and greeted her at the city gate.

"Princess, please go into the city and have a rest."

Liu Yunxiang opened the car curtain and looked at Yang He. He was wearing a plain white robe, just like the one he saw in the cell before, looking like a down-and-out scholar.After going through a prison sentence and almost being beheaded, there was no trace of darkness between his brows, and he still smiled brightly, even looking younger and more energetic than before.

A middle-aged man who is so handsome and polite has probably stolen the hearts of many women.

"Yang Futai, I thought your Yanzhou city gate was on fire, so I urgently called me over!" Liu Yunxiang said angrily.

But seeing him smiling so happily, it was obvious that nothing serious had happened.

Yang He laughed out loud, "Prince Princess, don't worry, I'll keep your wife's worth."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and stopped worrying about this matter, "Then let's find a place to talk in detail first."

"Don't you want to rest first?"

"The war in Lingnan is tense and the situation in Shengjing is unstable. How can I dare to delay any longer."

"Okay, let's go to the city first."

After entering the city, Liu Yunxiang opened the car curtain and looked out. It was indeed Yanzhou City. There were many shops on both sides of the street and business was booming. People were walking in groups to buy. The vendors were hawking. Some were asking for prices, some were bargaining, and some were weaving. Just bustling.

If every place in Da Rong was like Yanzhou, there would be no displaced people, the politics would be clear, and the officials and the people would be united, but there would only be one Yanzhou in Da Rong.

When walking on the street, women passing by would like to say hello to Yang He or make a few jokes.

"Mr. Yang, thank you for enlightening my boy. He has been working diligently these days, and he has not touched his daughter-in-law again. The whole family is harmonious."

"That's good. I was a bit harsh that day. Are his eyes still green?"

"Let him stay green, so that he will have a long memory." "Suppressing a child is like killing a child, you finally figured it out."

"If you don't understand it anymore, I will live up to your painstaking efforts. By the way, I will brew a few jars of osmanthus wine at home next spring. I will send you two jars later."

"Then I will thank you."

"By the way, the girl who lives across from my house is married to Li. She is very pretty. I will be a matchmaker and tell you about this marriage?"

"No, I'm getting married, and all the women in the city will be heartbroken."

The woman smiled and walked away. Liu Yunxiang couldn't help laughing while listening in the carriage.For an official who can get along well with the people and have such a good relationship, the only official in Da Rong is Yang He.

Feng Zheng actually told Yang He about him and Zi Jin, and Yang He was very happy. He hugged Feng Zheng and praised him for his vision, while lamenting that he had grown up.

"You are about to get a wife, and I am still an old bachelor."

"Then you..."

"I dreamed of my wife last night. She said that if I dared to marry again, she would take me with her."

Feng Zheng curled his lips, "You always tell lies when you open your mouth."

"You do not believe?"

"Do not believe."

"Then I'll ask Madam to find you tonight."

"No, no, I don't believe you can do it."

When Liu Yunxiang got out of the car when he arrived at the Yanzhou government office, he saw many grain bags stacked in front of him. They were one person tall and dozens of feet long. They were stacked squarely to form a hill.There are several wooden boxes next to them, filled with broken silver.

"This..." Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened.

"I learned that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were fighting in Lingnan. We, Yanzhou, are far apart and cannot exert much force, but we have surplus food at home, so the people spontaneously donated food and money. We are not donating to the imperial court, we are only supporting You and the prince."

While we were talking, some fellow villagers came over carrying food. They packed a big bag and piled it on the hill.

"This is for the prince." The fellow said specifically.

The official replied: "Don't worry, fellow townsman, we will definitely leave it in the hands of the crown prince and crown princess."

After hearing this, the fellow villager left with peace of mind.

"The prince cut off the [-]% of the extra taxes in Yanzhou and did not pursue the previous arrears. The people of Yanzhou are very grateful to him." Yang He said.

Liu Yunxiang was very moved and grateful that the people of Yanzhou still remembered Yan Mu's kindness.

"Also, our Yanzhou government has raised [-] shi of military rations for you and the prince, and purchased a batch of fodder for horses from the Weizhou area. We came to you to discuss how to transport this food and grass." Yang He said.

The emperor did not agree to fight, but the prince insisted on fighting. Therefore, the current situation was very delicate and he could not figure it out. It was best to let Liu Yunxiang make arrangements.

"On behalf of the prince, I would like to thank the people of Yanzhou and Yang Futai for their generosity. I will arrange the food and grass. Yang Futai should not involve too much."

"I think so."

This food and grass solves Lingnan's urgent need and can help them survive this winter.

Liu Yunxiang was no longer in a hurry to return to Beijing. He stayed in Yanzhou, waiting for Lingyun's caravan to return, and transported the grain to Lingnan in three batches.After all the provisions were arranged, Liu Yunxiang returned to Shengjing. The Chinese New Year had passed and spring was about to begin.

But as soon as her carriage entered the city, it was stopped by the palace guards.

"Princess, the Emperor is anxious to summon you. Please follow us into the palace first."
