Beautiful step by step

Chapter 115

"Your Majesty knows that I personally led the troops to fight the fire in the city early this morning. When I walked to the edge of the imperial tent with Batu, I happened to meet Chief Sansi, who was ordered to come and proclaim my sanctification."

Wei Wei glanced at the cage in the tent from the corner of his eye.These were the things that Yan Heng brought back from the courtyard after the fire was extinguished, not only the jade wares bought by Mother Wei, but also some gold and silver jewelry she brought to Liangzhou.If the emperor knew that the acting commander's first fire after taking office was to rush into the sea of ​​flames to salvage her jewelry, the impression would definitely not be good. Thinking of Wei Wei's heart raised her throat.

"The emperor knows?"

Her thoughts were all on her face, and Yan Heng could see clearly at a glance.

"Where did Auntie go? I led the soldiers to fight the fire in the courtyard. It was indeed to investigate the truth of the fire as soon as possible. Those jades and jewelry were just brought out by chance."

"Really?" Wei Wei's eyes were burning.

"Anyway...so everyone believes it."

If there were no suspicious pauses in Yan Heng's words, the credibility would be so much higher.Her heart was sweet, and Wei Wei wasn't so nervous.

"And then? You go on."

"Investigating the cause of the fire is the duty of the civil servants of the government office. It should not be under the control of the guard commander. The emperor is annoyed at me for overstepping."

The mood that had just been relaxed became tense again, and Wei Wei knew that it was the emperor's nature to be suspicious.Therefore, the most taboo thing for an official is to stretch his hands too long.Maybe you have talents, and after straightening out your job, you still have the energy to take care of other things.But when the official position is low, who dares to do the things of the top, who can guarantee that such a "capable minister" official will not want to replace the emperor after he grows bigger.

"Using... This crime is not light."

"Indeed, even I was taken aback. Fortunately, this time Batu followed."

"Batu? What did he do?"

Yan Heng told Batu's reaction, saying how he seemed simple and honest, but in fact he just wanted to please Emperor Qinglong.

"Mongols love to learn Chinese? Is this really what Batu said?"

It was really admirable for three days, and Wei Wei felt that she had to re-examine the "straightforward and honest" Batu.This Mongolian boy in his early ten years, who looked like a child except for his stature, was able to talk nonsense with his eyes open for the first time.

There is no obstacle in the daily life of the native language, who wants to spend a lot of effort to learn a foreign language!Regarding this conclusion, Wei Wei has sufficient sampling data.In the past, in order to popularize English, the Great Heavenly Dynasty used the college entrance examination to force people to learn it from an early age. After reaching this point, isn’t it because most people don’t like to learn?

"Thanks to his words, the emperor was overjoyed and asked me why I didn't organize the army first, but went to put out the fire myself."

It’s good to be able to ask. Many misunderstandings are caused by too much imagination on both sides. In fact, most of the misunderstandings can be eliminated if the two sides have a calm and candid talk.Since Emperor Qinglong was willing to ask, Yan Heng still had a chance to make up for it.

"Then what did you say?"

Yan Heng squinted at the cage: "It's all thanks to Ah Mao, so I'll just tell the truth, the reason for saving the courtyard fire first is to find out the cause of the fire and wash away the injustice for Ah Mao; more importantly, The batch of jades presented by the elders are treasured by my wife, and I want to fish them out for you."

Wei Wei was shocked: "How can you tell the truth, what will the emperor think of me?"

Yan Heng scratched her nose, and with a rare playful smile on his face, he joked: "I didn't expect that even the smart Ah Mao would sometimes fail to understand, the emperor likes honest people."

Are you honest?Wei Wei suddenly realized that it is never a bad thing for generals leading troops to value their families.Because in the past dynasties, most of the families of military generals who held heavy troops had to stay in the capital as hostages, and they were worried about it, so the emperor could use it with confidence.Although Yan Heng's current official position is far from the level that the emperor fears, but as a military commander, it doesn't hurt to have a little problem.

"Then how did you ask for this decree?"

Holding the decree in his hand, a happy smile appeared on the corner of Yan Heng's lips: "Originally, I thought the same thing as Ah Mao. If you mention this matter rashly, the emperor will be humiliated by the Buddha, and Longyan will definitely be furious. I didn't expect that after I said it, the emperor Not only was he not angry, but he readily agreed. Not only that, he also said that I am willing to think about the common people, which is very good."

How could this be?Wei Wei was surprised at first, and then began to admire Emperor Qinglong's mind from the bottom of his heart.He was tolerant towards all officials and treated the common people with kindness. During his nearly 40 years in power, the fortune of the country has become more and more prosperous.It can be said that he has almost achieved the ultimate of an emperor.

Listening to Yan Heng's entire face-to-face interview, Wei Wei's heart was like riding a roller coaster, going up and down up and down until now.

"The emperor is really the Son of Heaven."

Yan Heng agreed with emotion: "Indeed, the emperor's martial arts and martial arts are all outstanding."

Wei Wei looked at him firmly: "Then Ah Heng shouldn't disappoint the order."

Carefully recalling the content written in the decree, Wei Wei's face gradually became solemn: "Although the emperor wrote it very clearly, there are policies and countermeasures at the top, and it is not easy to fully implement the decree."

What she could think of, Yan Heng also thought of.

"Just now I have ordered Zhuzi and others to spread the news from door to door."

I have notified you of the courtesy before the soldiers, and if you continue to babble when you get the rice noodles tomorrow morning, it will be your fault.Wei Wei nodded silently, Yan Heng was well prepared.

"Since Ah Heng has sent someone to notify, I'll find a few people to inquire about the local prices in Youzhou."

Yan Heng thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's going to be hard work, Ah Mao."

"What's so hard about it? I just can't take it easy. I always have something to do."

Stopping Yan Heng's overwhelming gratitude, Wei Wei let out a long sigh of relief.People are different, some people take other people's kindness for granted, and once others treat it with a normal heart, those people will feel unbalanced; and a person like Yan Heng, even if others treat him a little bit, he will remember it in his heart, And what he did for others was done and forgotten.

Because of this character, he will make so many sincere friends.And she also likes him like this.

Once again clarifying Yan Heng's benefits, Wei Wei called Gu Yu, Li Dong and others, and asked them to randomly select a few familiar villagers to find out the past prices of rice, vegetables, pots and pans and other utensils.

Gu Yu readily agreed: "This matter is easy to handle. Da Hua, who taught singing at noon, are people from a nearby village. Just ask them."

"It's fine to ask them," Wei Wei nodded, and instructed again: "But you can't just ask them, you have to ask at least five of them for everything. You have been with my mother for so long, you will always keep superficial accounts, right? Write down all those numbers and give them to me."

Although she didn't understand what her wife's intention was, Gu Yu still readily agreed.

After instructing the maid, Wei Wei turned his head and told Yan Heng: "The price will not be available for a while, and when Ah Heng goes to the Disaster Relief Department, let the officials unify it."

Yan Heng was puzzled at first, but then looked serious: "What does Ah Mao mean?"

Wei Wei nodded: "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. On the first day the emperor came to Youzhou, Long Yan was furious because of corruption and bribery. Now this matter is the most sensitive, and I am afraid of capsizing in the gutter. "

From the moment he saw the decree, Wei Wei knew that it was a good thing to pay money to the people who provided rice, flour, grain and oil, but it was also an extremely trivial thing.Not to mention a lot of clues, there are a lot of officials who were exposed by them because of corruption, and it is extremely difficult to do it smoothly.

"Okay, just as Ah Mao said."

Seeing Yan Heng's face slightly stained with sadness, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Wei Wei's mind.

"Aheng, I suddenly thought of a good idea."

Yan Heng, who was about to open the felt tent door, turned his head, with joy and anticipation in his eyes.Under such gaze, Wei Wei's mind was spinning rapidly.He took two steps to meet him and whispered something in his ear.

After listening to it, Yan Heng's eyes lit up, he bent down and picked her up, and threw her into the sky.

With his body suspended in the air, Wei Wei said in surprise, "Ah...you have to catch me."

The creaking nest was firmly supported, and seeing that she was almost on the ground, she was thrown up again.This time it was thrown higher, and the filigree phoenix wood hairpin on her head rubbed against the top of the tent, making the sound of tearing the fabric.

"You are as powerful as a cow?"

Several times in a row, getting rid of the initial fear, Wei Wei began to enjoy this novel feeling.

Until a thin layer of sweat broke out on Yan Heng's forehead, and he was exhausted and put her down, Wei Wei was still a little bit unsatisfied after being stimulated.The index finger poked at his bicep, which was hard but not boxer-like.

"Why is Ah Heng so strong? I'm not a child of a certain age, and I'm easy to be thrown up."

While asking her, she wondered, given his figure of a completely skinny boy with a robe on, where did such great strength come from.

Panting heavily, Yan Heng carefully looked at her from head to toe, until she looked a little hairy, and then said lightly: "Ah Mao doesn't seem to be much heavier than a child."

Wei Wei looked at her slender arms, she was not very tall, she could barely hit Yan Heng's chin, her eyes were just looking at his Adam's apple.She has a small frame and has not yet fully developed a girlish figure. The most fleshy part of her body is her chest, which barely weighs eighty catties at most, which is indeed not much heavier than a child.

She doesn't mind being thin, but her height is a pain in her heart. Why can't she grow taller?
With a bright and sad heart, she pushed the big and tall Yan Heng out without even thinking about it: "You hurry up and get busy."

After driving away Yan Heng, by candlelight Wei Wei wrote the recipe for today's dinner.She has always been very focused on doing things, and once she is busy, she doesn't think about other things.After writing the recipe in as much detail as possible, and silently writing the lyrics of the song "The Sun Rises and Never Sets on the Grassland" in big characters, just about to find something else to do, Mother Wei came back with Gu Yu and Li Dong.

"It's just in time for you to come back. These are the Chinese characters corresponding to the song at noon. You follow the tracing of red, and you will recognize it after tracing a lot."

After handing over the lyrics to Gu Yu, Wei Wei took the price they asked from the grim-faced mother Wei.Seeing several sets of data with a difference of nearly five times between the highest price and the lowest price, she didn't know whether to be happy or worried.The happy thing is that she really guessed it, and the worrying thing is that some people can completely ignore the suffering of the people for their own little thoughts.
