New Year's Eve for the fourth year of Shunning
The Imperial City of Beiliang, Lingjing, is covered with snow. The glazed tiles of the palace are covered with snow and have lost their color. The streets of the Imperial City are filled with the joy of the New Year.
Naughty children played and adults talked and laughed.
But the palace was extremely depressing. There was a severe snowstorm in Liangzhou in the northwest, and the people had no food to eat. The autumn harvest was fruitless, and it was very desolate. Emperor Shunning was so worried that he sent Yang Ting, the left minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and Zeng Weishu, the minister of the Ministry of war, to Liangzhou with 300,000 disaster relief funds issued by the Ministry of household affairs, and accompanied by 3,000 soldiers and horses to prevent any unexpected events.
In the imperial study, Emperor Shun Ning looked solemn: "Have the disaster relief team ever reached Liangzhou?"
"The emperor has just received the news that he has arrived at Yuanguan and will arrive in Liangzhou tomorrow." Shangshu Zuo Cheng Bai Shuyun replied
"Twenty thousand people have died. All the tree bark in Liangzhou has been eaten. Many people have begun to rebel. The guards at the government office have been injured. I hope they will not disappoint me." Emperor Shunning sighed and continued. : "There are also soldiers and horses who have begun to gather on the river bank and are watching eagerly. In the coming spring, they will cross the river and invade our beams. We must take advantage of the cold winter to prepare."
"King Yan Xiao Yu, I'll leave it to you to station troops to fight against Chen without making any mistakes. I, Daliang, can't stand the trouble anymore."
"Yes" Xiao Yu accepted the order. Xiao Yu looked at the few black hairs on Emperor Shuning's head with sadness.
"Brother, please be careful not to overwork your body," Xiao Yu said with a bow.
At this time, Bai Shuyun also bowed and said, "Your Majesty's words are very true. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
Emperor Shunning touched his wrinkled face and sighed: "Oh, who told me that if my beams are poor and weak and I don't work hard, they will be gone! You all should stand down."
Xiao Yu and Bai Shuyun saluted and left.
At this time, our Miss Chen is still on the street buying good things she thinks she can use for New Year's Eve.
"Xiaoyu, didn't you just come out yesterday, and you pulled me out again today? Can't you buy it all at once?" Chen Xinyu's friend Xiaolin Tong muttered beside her.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xinyu immediately held Lin Tong's hand and said happily: "Oh, little Tong, it's so boring to be at home every day. It's so interesting to go out and see the bustling streets on New Year's Eve."
"Miss, please see if you can stop buying so many things that you don't get or that are heavy." Xiao Ming, Chen Xinyu's maid, said angrily.
"Oh, why are these things useless for Xiao Ming? These are useful things I bought for my family." Chen Xinyu pointed at Xiao Ming's head and flicked it.
Lin Tong snickered beside him
"Okay Xiao Ming, if it's too heavy, I'll ask Xiao Tong to help you carry it for a while." Chen Xinyu said with a smile.
Lin Tong's laughter suddenly stopped.
After shopping around, Miss Chen started to go home.
At this time, King Yan Xiao Yu was also on his way out of the palace.
"I said that Ye Ran and Xiaoliu's secret guards are married. Why haven't you made any move yet? It's not like there are no female secret guards in this palace."
Xiao Yu leaned on the carriage and looked at Ye Ran.
Ye Yanzuo bowed and replied: "My lord, I just want to follow your highness. You have no plans to get married yet, and the sixth prince is also married. Your lord, you are already twenty-one years old..."
"Shut up for me!" Xiao Yu leaned back and stopped talking.
Ye Ran was also puzzled, why was the prince so anxious while talking?
At this time, a pair of people in the attic of the inn were looking at King Yan's carriage.
Three of them took out their bows and arrows and prepared to shoot.
"Let go!" Three arrows fired in unison and instantly killed King Yan's coachman, another one passed through the carriage and was fixed on the ground, and the last one crossed the sky and penetrated the carriage and shot Ye Ran in the shoulder.
"Ah, my lord, please be careful because there are assassins!" Ye Ran covered his shoulders and shouted loudly in front of Xiao Yu, "There are assassins protecting your lord!"
The people began to run away in chaos. Countless secret guards emerged from the darkness and surrounded the carriage, and suddenly ten arrows were fired at the carriage. Dozens of secret guards were shot and three wounded.
Xiao Yu looked at the arrow on Ye Ran's shoulder and said, "Xia Shui, Chen Jian. People from Da Chen?"
Ye Ran was also stunned: "This!"
"My lord, the attack on the other side is too fierce and I can't withstand it," the secret guard commander said while striking arrows.
"The city guard will be here soon." Xiao Yu shouted
The secret guard commander gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! Brothers, hold on!"
"Up!" A group of men in black jumped down from the attic and fought with King Yan's secret guards.
Xiao Yu looked at Ye Ran who was about to get out of the car to fight and said, "If you are injured, you don't have to go down and just stay well."
"Yes" Ye Ran replied
Chen Xinyu, who was returning home, looked at the people running over and wondered what was going on.
"Hey, what's going on over there, aunt? Why did you run away?" Chen Xinyu asked, holding her hand.
"Oh, little girl, there is an assassin over there to assassinate the prince! Don't go there, it's too dangerous!" Aunt Hai ran away after saying that.
"Xinyu, let's take a detour. It's dangerous over there. We can't go there." Lin Tong said.
"Okay, let's take a detour. I don't dare to go there. I don't know which prince would be assassinated if he attracted such hatred." Chen Xinyu said as she walked.
"Get out of the way!" At this time, the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division had arrived, whizzing past Chen Xinyu and the others.
