The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 109 Dongzhou Rebellion
The eunuch held the corn seedlings in his hands and presented them to the emperor, who looked at them carefully.Although he tried his best to keep his emotions and anger a secret, there was a hint of admiration in his tone.

"In this cold month of winter, corn seedlings can actually sprout. Zheng Sinong is a very capable person."

Zheng Qiuyun was self-effacing and said, "The Holy One has given you too much praise."

Zheng Wu'an, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has requested that the officials of the Ministry of Revenue not be allowed to interfere. In my opinion, the Imperial College should not interfere either."

The Imperial Academy did not regret the wine sacrifice, "Your Majesty, I am just worried about those children and have no other intentions. Since it is indeed feasible to cultivate corn seedlings in winter, I will no longer interfere with Zheng Sinong's school running."

Zheng Qiuyun raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for the wine sacrifice, why would I need to prove my innocence. Now that I have proven that I did not deliberately embarrass those students, I would like to ask the wine sacrificer to give me an explanation."

Pei Yuanqi came out and said, "I second my opinion, if everyone can make arbitrary judgments about agriculture, how can Zheng Sinong run the school with peace of mind."

The Prime Minister of the Imperial College naturally wanted to speak for Jijiu, "Your Majesty, Jiujiu has promised not to interfere again, so why are Zheng Sinong so aggressive?"

The Holy Emperor glanced at them. The other ministers were wise to protect themselves, and the second prince was away from home.His eyes were dark and he asked, "Duo'er, what do you think?"

Xiao Duo was suddenly called by name. He was startled and knelt down in panic. "Father, please forgive me. I didn't hear you clearly just now."

The Holy Master's expression was not good-looking, but he only reminded him to focus and did not punish him.Instead, he said about the wine sacrifice in the Imperial College: "The wine sacrifice was not investigated clearly, so he arbitrarily framed the imperial officials and acted recklessly. He was punished by copying the Four Books and Five Classics. If there are other officials who obstruct Zheng Sinong's running of the school in the future, they will be punished together."

The sacrificial wine knelt down to thank him, "Yes."

At this time, someone outside the palace came to report in a panic, "Your Majesty, the Dongzhou garrison has rebelled and has captured three cities."

Compared with the dispute of words, this news shocked the officials even more.

Internally, the two princes were fighting endlessly, and externally, neighboring countries were eyeing them.Amid internal and external troubles, money was needed everywhere, so taxes were heavy.This time not only the neighboring countries made a sneak attack, but also the defenders rebelled.

Daxuan also has military generals. When they send troops, they will be constrained by the two princes, and their movements are restricted everywhere.Beware not only of enemies, but also of insiders.In this case, almost no one would volunteer.

But Pei Yuanqi and Zheng Wu'an came out in unison and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops to put down the rebellion."

The Holy Emperor was hesitant, and the second prince came out and begged: "Father, please let me go."

The face of the second prince, who had always been gentle and genial, showed signs of decline, as if he was hiding something unspeakable.

The Holy One ordered the second prince to lead troops to put down the rebellion.

After the morning court, he left the second prince alone.The Holy Sage stepped down from the dragon chair, his kindness outweighed his majesty, "Duo'er has been distracted these days, but he has something on his mind. You and I are kings and ministers, and father and son, so there is no need to hide it from me."

Xiao Duo knew he couldn't hide it, so he knelt down and begged: "My son wants to lead troops to Dongzhou."

The Holy One wanted to say something to comfort him, "You are newly married and you are separated from your bride. When will I be able to hold my grandson in my arms?"

Who knew that these words just hit Xiao Duo's lungs. He lowered his head, with tears already in his eyes.

"If my son dies in battle, please ask my father to bring this and Li Shu to Lan'er."

The Holy Spirit became angry and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Xiao Duo still lowered his head, "If I return safely, my father will have a fat and white grandson as soon as possible."

This sentence satisfied the Holy Emperor so much that he even ignored the brick in front of Xiao Duo, which was already wet with tears.

Zheng Qiuyun came out with Pei Yuanqi and Zheng Wuan.It was windy outside, so she rolled up her sleeves again.A young boy came up to meet him and handed him a big bow.Pei Yuanqi took it and put it on Zheng Qiuyun.

Zheng Wuan asked Pei Yuanqi: "Brother Yuanqi, why did the guard general of Lingdong rebel?"

Pei Yuanqi said: "In recent years, taxes have been heavy, the people have been miserable, and rebellions are normal." "Are you sure that the Holy Emperor will send the second prince to quell the rebellion?"

Pei Yuanqi put Zheng Qiuyun's clothes on and continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back, "If it is the enemy, the second prince is sure. I'm afraid there are spies sent by the eldest prince."

Zheng Wuan asked: "What should we do? Should we remind the second prince?"

Pei Yuanqi stopped and looked at him, "The second prince must understand what you and I both know, and there is no need to remind him. Moreover, this is a fight between the two princes. If you remind him, you will be on the side of the second prince, and it will be difficult to escape. "

Zheng Qiuyun also stood still and thought carefully about the meaning of his words.

The second prince must have discovered that Song Zhilan was related to the eldest prince, and he led his troops to Dongzhou in order to separate from Song Zhilan for some time and calm down.

It is true that she knew that Xiao Duo would die in this battle and would be Song Zhilan's white moonlight from now on, a thorn between her and Xiao Yi, but Zheng Qiuyun did not intend to do anything.

They were talking outside the palace, delayed for a while, and happened to meet the second prince who came out.He walked over quickly and said, "I heard that Zheng Sinong can do tricks. Can you teach me one? I am leaving for Dongzhou tomorrow and want to learn a simple trick to make Lan'er happy."

When a man is about to die, Zheng Qiuyun is willing to give him some kindness.

"Okay, you all close your eyes."

"It can be opened now."

Opening their eyes, the three of them saw Zheng Qiuyun holding a fallen leaf in his hand.

"Do you have a fire seal? Let me use it."

Pei Yuanqi gave her one, and Zheng Qiuyun lit the fallen leaves with a fire stick. When the fire burned, a plum blossom burst out of the fire.

"It's for you." Zheng Qiuyun gave the flower to Pei Yuanqi.

When Pei Yuanqi was talking to Zheng Wu'an just now, he was calm and calm. Now that Zheng Qiuyun gave him a flower, his ears instantly turned red and he said sheepishly: "Thank you, girl."

Zheng Wuan exclaimed: "Sister, how did you do it? I want to learn it too."

Xiao Duo also said: "Lan'er will definitely like fallen leaves turning into flowers. Can Zheng Sinong teach me?"

Zheng Qiuyun once again broke off a plum blossom from the wall. The branch was hidden in his sleeve and the petals were held in the palm of his hand.While the fire is burning, quickly push out the plum blossoms.

"It's that simple."

The second prince learned the magic trick and happily said goodbye and returned to the house.The servants saluted him one after another, and he waved his hands and hurriedly went to the inner courtyard to find Song Zhilan.

There was no figure of Song Zhilan in the room. He sat slumped at the Eight Immortals table and asked the maid, "Where is Lan'er?"

The maid's expression remained unchanged, "The second prince's concubine has been very homesick recently and returned to the Taiwei's Mansion this morning. She said that if the second prince comes to find her, all he needs to do is send a message and she will come back as soon as possible."

Xiao Duo looked at the flowers in his hand and laughed softly, "No, tell Lan'er when she comes back. I will go on an expedition tomorrow and will stay in the military camp tonight."

"Yes."
