Pastoral affairs

Emperor Zhengde was dizzy and anxious at the moment, and the merchants revolted when they saw the profit, and all of them were daring.If it is beneficial, even if the emperor ordered it, he would not sell the grain. For the sake of money, he really dared to gamble his life!In a fit of anger, Emperor Zhengde made a foolish move, ordering the merchants to hand over the rice grains, and sending troops out for forced conscripts was a must. Naturally, the people complained!

The common people went in without knowing it, and only listened to the people complaining about the emperor. Some refugees had complained in their hearts for a long time. They had been waiting for someone to come to Beijing for a while, but the emperor did not order resettlement. Instead, they only let the Qimen Habayashi army suppress , I am afraid that I will cause trouble, so I will let it go if I don't give food, and if I don't give resettlement, naturally there will be endless scolding.These refugees were originally displaced, their hometowns were in trouble, and many of their wives and children were separated from their backgrounds. Naturally, they were not angry, and hated the emperor for sending soldiers to suppress them. A riot broke out immediately. As a result, the people in Beijing Naturally, it was miserable. Many victims were robbed of food and began to complain about the emperor, and the situation suddenly got out of control.

But Cui Wei now guards the food in her home like a few hills, eating and drinking without worrying about it.She listened to the wailing of the people in Beijing all day long, and thought about helping the disaster at this moment, but Yinliu stopped her: "Madam, you must know that bucket rice nourishes benefactors, and stone rice nourishes enemies. Madam is originally With good intentions, the kindness in the heart can be seen by the sun and the moon, but at this time the refugees in Beijing are not yet the most hungry, and they are afraid that the madam's feat will attract some caring people, or attract the eyes of the emperor. Robbery, and taking his wife into custody to threaten the lord and Mr. Nie. That would be not beautiful. It is better to wait two more months, and when the emperor is desperate, the wife will help the disaster. At that time, everyone will praise him. Mr. Nie's reputation is already good. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to add flowers to the cake?"

Yinliu only knows how to calculate, but he doesn't care whether the people in Beijing will starve to death, so Cui Wei is naturally stopped from letting her take action at this time.I'm afraid that her good intentions will be misunderstood.Dao and Nie Qiuran were extremely loyal, and when they heard Yinliu's words, they naturally agreed with them. Both of them objected, and Cui Wei naturally stopped thinking about disaster relief.

At the beginning of October, the rain was still falling, and I heard that many people in the capital were so hungry that they slept all over the streets.There are rapes, murders and looters everywhere outside, and the refugees are extremely fierce. Once people are hungry, they dare to eat human flesh.Even the two armies of Yumen and Qilin, both belonging to the emperor, were struggling to deal with it at the moment, forcing many aristocratic families to start resisting.These refugees are so hungry that they don't care about it. As long as they enter the aristocratic family, the women will be snatched away, and the men will be killed if they are knowledgeable.Naturally, the food was not spared, so many people suffered!

Only now did Cui Wei realize the benefits of what Yinliu said back then.If she had sent out the food earlier, I'm afraid it would not be a good thing.I'm afraid the whole family will be affected by this.Because the house that Cui Wei bought was only a temporary place to live, it was not very luxurious, so for the time being, it did not arouse the coveting of the brigade of refugees. On the contrary, there were a small group of people who wanted to come here to reap the benefits, but they were all dismissed by Yinliu and others!

In mid-October, some aristocratic families also began to be dissatisfied, and many people suffered greatly from it. I heard that the Gu family was almost broken into!The Gu family is a long-standing family. It used to be a prominent family that could produce princes and concubines, but even such a family almost suffered disaster. Now not only the people are dissatisfied with the emperor, but even some aristocratic families are also dissatisfied. Start uniting.

These days, Cui Wei can't eat or sleep well, not only worried about the status quo, but also worried about Nie Qiuran, Luo Xuan and others.Now that the Daqing Dynasty has suffered, the foreigners have always been eyeing it. Now that the Daqing Dynasty is in such a state of chaos, it's no wonder that the barbarians from outside Xiliang didn't take the opportunity to come here!Cui Jingping is still in Xiliang right now!Cui Wei was so worried all day long that she lost more than half of her weight in just over a month. Although Yinliu and others often comforted her, it didn't seem to have any effect.

It's rainy now, and it's only half past five o'clock in the unitary hour (five ten). At this time in previous years, at this time, the sky should still be bright, and if the weather is good, the sun should be out at this moment, but unfortunately These days are cloudy and rainy, and it gets dark early, and you can't see your fingers. It seems that there are women's cries and exclamations mixed with the wind and rain outside. Cui Wei is uneasy thinking about her husband, Luo Xuan and Cui Jingping and the others sat on the edge of the couch without moving for a while.

Bizhi carefully asked someone to turn on the lobby lights outside. Seeing the flames in the lanterns being shaken by the wind, the atmosphere in the room was even more gloomy. A little girl poked her head in from outside. , Bizhi went out for a while, and came back after a long time before leaning into Cui Wei's ear and saying, "Madam, if you don't let her out and take Miss Gu over, she will commit suicide..."

Now Cui Wei is very troubled, when she heard this, she immediately laughed angrily: "She has grown up, and she has learned to threaten me." If she is really her daughter, Cui Wei must be in a hurry at this moment So he rushed over to comfort her, but who is she, thinking that he can still be coerced by her?I'm afraid no one in this world would wish her to die sooner than myself!If it weren't for the fear that she would lose sight of her daughter once she died, Cui Wei would have wished to strangle her to death with her own hands!Now is the time when she is extremely bored, and she still wants to make trouble. Cui Wei sneered, and originally wanted to speak again, but unexpectedly, a sinister figure slipped in like a ghost:

"Ma'am, that bitch Gu Ba Niang! I have already reported to the Patriarch of the Gu Clan that you and Xiao Langjun are in the capital for my own sake. I am afraid that the old man of the Gu Clan will enter the palace tomorrow. We need to make preparations early! "Although Gu Ningxin was fed a bug that day, she kept her position for a while, but recently the Gu family was in a catastrophe, and the refugees were eyeing them. It is necessary to show some benefits in the agreement, and at this moment, Gu Ningxin, who is beautiful but not from a high family background, is the best gift. She naturally sold Cui Wei for her own sake.

In the past, when there were no floods and the reputation of Nie Qiuran and Luo Xuan resounded throughout the Daqing Dynasty, the most she said would have made Emperor Zhengde scold Cui Wei, or order to scold Nie Qiuran and punish him. .But now that Nie Qiuran's reputation is so great, Emperor Zhengde is worried that he will not find a chance to act. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to deal with Cui Wei, he will be a fool!No wonder the old man of the Gu family regarded this as good news and praised Gu Ningxin greatly.

"Ma'am, this subordinate will get that bitch here tomorrow, and Madam will punish her, or throw her into a pile of refugees, making her life worse than death!" After finishing speaking, he told Cui Wei the details again!Yin Liu's face is distorted at this moment, he patted his chest earlier to ensure that Gu Ningxin would be obedient after eating the bugs, who would have thought that such a thing would happen when she turned around, it was also her fault that she had been quiet for a long time, Yin Yun lost her vigilance , didn't realize that she picked the right time to tell the story this time!Yin Liu was ashamed in front of Cui Wei, and he gritted his teeth angrily. Fortunately, he and others had already prepared their countermeasures, so they were not afraid of panic.He calmed down for a moment, endured the killing intent towards Gu Ningxin at this moment, and said in a dark voice:

"Mrs. Tomorrow, in the name of Mrs. Nie, started to set up a stall to deliver porridge, and take good care of these refugees, so that they can be used by us!"

Hearing Yinliu's words, Cui Wei hated herself for being a woman and being cowardly. Before, she didn't dare to guess whether her daughter was possessed by something, so now that she caused such a catastrophe, that little thing ran away. Tell Gu Ningxin that she is in Beijing, and almost implicate her son!If something happened to Cui Wei herself, she could bear it, but if something happened to her son, she would definitely not be able to bear it.She regretted not telling Nie Qiuran about this earlier, otherwise Nie Jiao would have been dealt with long ago, how could it have caused today's catastrophe?If I knew I had killed Gu Ningxin, I wouldn't have to be afraid of anything!

For a moment, Cui Wei had a lot of thoughts flashing through her mind, even the thought of killing people. She was so anxious that she could only believe in Yinliu's words, and hoped that the disaster relief would spare a little time for her family. At least let the people in the house support until Nie Qiuran arrives, otherwise the lives of these people will all be blamed on her not being able to bear to doubt Nie Jiao at that time and will suffer!Cui Wei forcibly calmed down, nodded, and quickly told Bi Zhi: "Go and ask the kitchen to boil a few more vats of porridge, keep things warm, and cook more. Those vats are all full, and disaster relief will be needed tomorrow!"

Bizhi nodded quickly, she also knew that if the refugees broke in, she didn't know what would happen, so she didn't dare to delay, and ran out quickly.Yinliu smiled at the side, and couldn't help but nodded: "Madam, I'm afraid the lord and Master Nie will be going to Beijing in a month or so." Cui Wei couldn't help but smile when she heard this. A smile appeared, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

Yin Liu admired her for being so calm. If an ordinary woman heard this, she would have been too frightened to stand up, but Cui Wei's face only changed slightly, which is really remarkable.Yinliu gave a few more instructions, and then went out to prepare for tomorrow's affairs.Although he spoke calmly in front of Cui Wei, it was actually just a dangerous move. He originally wanted to wait until Luo Xuan and the others came back before distributing porridge, but he didn't expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Today, he was forced by a Gu family. There is no other way.

Cui Wei couldn't sleep much that night, and the servants were also busy all night, and only made about a dozen barrels of porridge in the early morning.The people in the kitchen were too tired to keep their eyes open, so they took advantage of this opportunity to go back and have a rest. When the porridge was gone, they might still be busy, so naturally they had to take this opportunity to rest for a while before changing the girl Let's help cook the porridge and make some steamed buns by the way.
