Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 648
Not to mention the situation of the Jin State, at this time, the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Since it snowed a few days ago, the capital has been sunny for several days, but it is a pity that the haze in the court has not been dispelled.

General Shang Kelin of Zhenguo and Tieniu, a general of hussars who was nominated and canonized by the cabinet ministers, led troops together to fight at the junction of Jin State and Great Zhou Dynasty. Although they only took away part of the troops in the capital, they still It caused panic in the city.

On the street, a man in Tsing Yi walked among them, holding a book in his hand, with a gentle appearance, he looked no different from a teacher.

"My lord, where are you taking me?"

An immature but steady voice sounded behind him, and the man in Tsing Yi was followed by a child whose height had just reached his thigh.

He was only five years old, but he was unsmiling. There was a hint of majesty between his brows, and he was wearing a black tunic brocade dress, which made people not feel the slightest sense of disobedience.

Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi shook his head, looked away from the deserted streets, turned his head slightly to look at him, and said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, you grew up in the palace since you were a child. Living a common life, today I will take you to see how children of your age survive in common people's homes."

Seeing that Chen Yusong used the word "survival", the seriousness on Jin Qilan's face deepened a bit.

"Understood, my lord."

Jin Qilan nodded to Chen Yusong, then looked ahead, and followed him straight, without letting Chen Yusong lead her.

Chen Yusong took a deep look at Jin Qilan, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

Although His Majesty is currently not interested in state affairs, but fortunately, His Majesty's children are also dragons and phoenixes among the people. If they are properly cultivated, they will surely lead Dazhou to a prosperous and prosperous age.

Gradually, Chen Yusong's desire to help Jin Qilan deepened.

Along the way, there were occasional pedestrians passing by on the street, but they hurriedly passed the two of them and did not stay on the street.

Jin Qilan glanced at them from the corner of the eye, then retracted his gaze, and frowned slightly: "The two countries are at war, and people are in panic. Yesterday, the Ministry of Household Affairs reported that the price of rice in various places has skyrocketed. People are selling their sons and daughters in order to stockpile food. This country is not yet dead. , the hearts of the people will be disturbed."

"I have ordered the local governments to strictly curb this momentum. Otherwise, just to fill their stomachs, many people will choose to go to the mountains to become bandits and robbers."

Chen Yusong was not at all surprised that Jin Qilan would make such a policy, but agreed: "Your Highness's move is very good, but long-term containment is not a good plan. It is necessary to fundamentally quell this war."

"Well, I know that as for the soldiers' supplies, we still need to follow the previous method of conscription. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely set up a place to train soldiers."

Although there is also a special training place in the court, the method of the late emperor seven years ago is still used. Although Jin Yantang has reformed it, as far as the current situation is concerned, there are only a very small number of civilian children who go in, and most of them are soldiers. Enter the gilded nobleman.

On weekdays, these people would only eat, drink and have fun, but when it came to the critical moment, they were the fastest runners.

After learning about these situations from the Ministry of War, Jin Qilan had this idea in his heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice above his head: "Here we are."

Hearing this, Jin Qilan stopped and looked up.

After turning a corner, the two of them came to a secluded alley.

At this moment, the two of them were standing in front of a door marked "Shantang". The wooden door was plain, with some cracks showing in it.

Chen Yusong knocked on the door, and after a while, an old man walked over and opened the door.

The old man's skin was as dry as bark, and his face was wrinkled, but he smiled kindly: "Who are you?"

Chen Yusong took a step back and bowed his hands to him: "Old man, Wansheng was introduced by Big Brother Tie Niu to take care of this shantang. Your surname is Chen, and his name is Yusong. This is my student, named Qilan."

The Jin character is the surname of the royal family and nobles. The entire Jin family was almost slaughtered by the late emperor, leaving only Jin Yantang's family. Therefore, the Jin surname was a rare and noble surname in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In order to avoid any sensation caused by Jin Qilan's surname, Chen Yusong only mentioned his name.

As for his identity, nothing was revealed.

When speaking, Jin Qilan also greeted the old man like him.

Hearing this, the old man hurriedly opened the door and smiled respectfully: "It turns out that the boy Tieniu was looking for is you, please come in, please come in! I am the grandfather of those children in the shantang. If you call me Lao Li it is good."

"Li Boy's words are serious."

While the three were talking, they entered the shantang one after another.

In the yard, a group of old-fashioned children were playing around a woman in pink. The woman in pink was pretty, holding a basket, and was handing out the sugar in the basket to everyone one by one.

"Sister Wanqin, can you play for a few more days this time?"

"What does the palace look like? Can you take us to see it?"

"Go, go, don't make trouble for Sister Wanqin, if you don't want to eat candy, give me the candy!"

A skinny monkey-like boy yelled at these noisy children, and the children's attention immediately shifted to him.

On the side, Jin Qilan saw all this scene in his eyes, and saw that although the people were dressed outdated and lived in very simple places, they had a kind of excitement that was not found in the palace, and they seemed very humane.

It can be seen that they are very happy here.

The old man saw Jin Qilan's expression in his eyes, and seeing a slight tenderness in his eyes, he bent his body slightly, lowered his head and said to Jin Qilan: "Son, why don't you play with them too? Otherwise, how lonely you would be alone what!"

"I……"

Jin Qilan looked at him in surprise, with slight hesitation in his eyes.

At this time, Chen Yusong gave him a slight push, and smiled at him: "Don't worry, you have to be part of the circle of your peers, so you can know what they are thinking."

Hearing this, Jin Qilan's eyes flickered for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he nodded to the old man.

Seeing this, the old man waved to the skinny monkey-like boy: "Da Zhuang, come here and take this kid to play!"

Hearing the words, the young man looked over, looking at Jin Qilan with some scrutiny in his eyes.

In front of the gate, under the fence, Jin Qilan's unsmiling expression caught the young man's eyes, and suddenly, the young man's face showed a look of doubt.

I saw him turn somersaults, landed in front of Jin Qilan with a "swoosh", touched his chin and asked him tentatively: "Which family are you from? Why do you seem to be where I am?"

Jin Qilan glanced at him lightly, but didn't answer him, just walked around him and walked towards the children.

Seeing this, Da Zhuang was not annoyed. He stood still and looked at his back for a while, then suddenly ran after him and said, "I remembered, there was a Master Jin who came to Shantang to talk to Uncle Tieniu before, you and that Jin The adults look very similar! Hey, are you his son? What's your name?"

"Qilan."

Jin Qilan's expression didn't change, and he didn't stop because of his words, but just spit out two words to him lightly.

Chen Yusong didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two, but when he heard Mr. Jin in Da Zhuang's mouth, his eyes lit up immediately, as if he suddenly thought of something.
