This year, Jiangnan suffered heavy rains for more than a month, coupled with flash floods, which severely damaged the already prosperous Jiangnan. People's crops were destroyed, their homes were in a mess, and many people were killed and injured.
Anting Yun, Shangguan Wei and others stayed in Jiangnan for three years in order to rebuild Jiangnan and help the people in Jiangnan tide over the difficulties.
The hard work involved is seen by everyone.
In recent years, the emperor has promulgated a series of policies that benefit the country and the people. Jiangnan is in the reconstruction period, and taxes are reduced and exempted for the people. The imperial court allocates funds for grain distribution, and the national treasury was once in a tight position.
Fortunately, Southern Xinjiang has been developing very well. With the support of the people in Southern Xinjiang and other states and counties, the urgent needs of Jiangnan have been solved, and the countries that wanted to see the jokes of the Northern Dynasties were once again disappointed.
However, there are still some countries that still feel that the emperor of the Northern Dynasties is stupid, emptying the treasury to treat some ordinary people, instead of conserving strength and preventing enemy attacks.
No one could understand Nangong Yuanyi's operation. No matter which emperor he replaced in the Northern Dynasty, he would definitely abandon his soldiers to protect his commander. He spent a lot of effort just to treat ordinary people.
The Emperor of Zhou even thought of raising troops to attack the Northern Dynasty. They had been attached to the Northern Dynasty for decades and paid tribute every year. They were not convinced for a long time. In addition, Qi Sixiao was narrow-minded and listened to the villain's instigation and secretly tore up the agreement. Despite the dissuasion of his loyal ministers and good generals, he finally forced himself to a dead end.
Zhou Guo provoked war with the Northern Dynasty, which was unexpected by everyone.
On this day, Qi Siyun, who was far away in the fiefdom, received the news, and took a carriage with Nangong Rui to return to Kyoto overnight.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he met Prince Yu and Princess Yu rushing to the palace.
"aunt."
Qi Siyun's face was full of tears, and she held Princess Yu's hand, "The life and death of the queen mother and the emperor brother are uncertain now. I am really worried about them..."
She knew that Princess Yu held a very special position in Nangong Yuanyi's heart. The emperor had always treated Princess Yu as his mother. If Princess Yu opened the door, Nangong Yuanyi would definitely help them.
Princess Yu said: "Don't panic yet, let's go to the palace to see the emperor."
Qi Siyun didn't have the confidence to say that the emperor would definitely help Zhou Guo, because she and Nangong Rui had also analyzed it.
The Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil. The Northern Dynasty only had to hold on to the city gate and let it fall apart before attacking and capturing it in one fell swoop. But by then, the Zhou Kingdom would really be riddled with holes.
When they entered the palace together, Nangong Yuanyi and An Xiyue had been waiting for a long time.
For a time, the imperial study room was filled with people, and Nangong Yuanyi ordered people to give them seats.
Qi Siyun had no intention of sitting down and just said: "I beg the Emperor and the Queen to save my concubine's mother and brother..."
"I know that it was the emperor who was confused and took the initiative to provoke a war with the Northern Dynasty. However, my mother and queen are innocent, and the people of Zhou are innocent. I beg the emperor to save the people of Zhou."
At this time, An Xiyue also hurriedly helped her up: "Princess Rui, please get up quickly. You are a pregnant woman and you are tired from traveling. For the sake of your children, you must not be overjoyed or sad. Let their men discuss the war." .”
Qi Siyun has been pregnant for four months, but she doesn't show her pregnancy.
Qi Siyun said: "But there is no news about the queen, and Siyun has trouble sleeping and eating."
"Although Brother Huang is soft-spoken, he would never dare to take the initiative to tear up the alliance with the Northern Dynasty, let alone send troops to attack the Northern Dynasty. All this must be a conspiracy..."
An Xiyue and Nangong Yuanyi had actually already discussed that such a sudden change in the Zhou Kingdom should be a battle for imperial power in the Zhou Kingdom.
Nangong Yuanyi could have let the Longhu Army and the Mei Family Army attack from both sides and give the Zhou Kingdom a fierce counterattack in the shortest possible time, but two princesses from the Zhou Kingdom were married to the Northern Dynasty for marriage.
For the sake of permanent peace between the two countries.
