Qian Qiyue was a live treasure, and it was so lively to talk and laugh with Tang Ning.
When Xiao Yan came back, he heard laughter in the room before he went inside. Knowing that it was Qian Qiyue and the others, he stopped outside for a while without disturbing him inside. He didn't let anyone in to send a message. He just turned around and went back to the Hexiao Hall next door. .
"Didn't the governor have something to discuss with the girl?" Jinyun asked in a low voice.
"It's not an important matter, let them have fun first."
Compared with the once unconventional Governor Xiao, now Xiao Yan has lost his coldness and looks gentle when talking about Tang Ning: "Tang Ning doesn't have many friends in the capital, Qian Qiyue is straightforward and treats people with sincerity, and Zhou Yuchang is also of good character. , and that little lady Wang, whom Tang Ning rarely likes."
Xiao Yan would always be more tolerant of people and things that Tang Ning liked.
He didn't want to ruin the fun of the girls' parents' family gathering.
After returning to Hexi Hall, Xiao Yan dealt with the important matters brought back from the palace, looking at the things in his hands while listening to Jinyun talk about external matters.
"Long Tingwei set off from the capital and walked quickly all the way. The people sent by Emperor An followed him to the vicinity of Puchang Fort and then left to return to the capital. However, the prince's people were still following the Long Tingwei, looking at the posture like I want to accompany him all the way to the northwest."
Without stopping, Xiao Yan scratched the paper with his ink pen and asked, "What did Ditao promise him?"
Jinyun said: "The prince told Major General Di that he was depressed, and everyone was dissatisfied with the fact that his position as prince was empty and superficial. General Di was young and angry and couldn't bear to see his new friend suffer, so he said he had revised a letter and gave it to General Di. I want to help the prince’s people establish themselves in the northwest.”
"It's just that the northwest is bitterly cold and the Zhen'an army is stretched thin. General Di still has to rely on the military supplies allocated by the Central Government. But now the master is in power. The Ministry of Revenue has good relations with the master. In addition, you are holding the tiger talisman. General Di also has Don’t dare to offend the master.”
"So?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows.
Jinyun suppressed a smile: "So the prince plundered the entire mansion, sold a lot of belongings, collected 160,000 taels of silver, and sent it to support General Di."
"Major General Di said that the money will not be distributed to the master. The master is rich and noble, but General Di is miserable. It is rare for him to catch such a generous fat sheep. He must maintain his relationship well to save General Di from digging around. Find a piece of clothing to wear for three years.”
Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing: "He will earn military expenses for his father, so that he can save money. The prince is not rich."
Xie Pingjia was once a little transparent person in the palace who was not valued by others and did not have a prominent mother clan. Xie Pingjia was once strapped for money.
Later, his relationship with the aristocratic family gradually came to the fore, and he took the opportunity to save some wealth when Emperor An used it to restrain the queen and her son. In addition to the gifts he received after taking over the East Palace, most of them were probably gone at this time.
Jinyun laughed out loud: "Master, don't worry, my subordinates will remind General Di that the water will flow forever."
While Xiao Yan was sketching out the folds that were sent to him, he picked out some important ones and put them aside, sending them to Zhongshu and the palace later, while he asked distractedly: "How is Hou Zhang doing there? How long will it take for the Cao family to arrive?"
Jinyun replied: "It should take another three or four days. Mr. Cao tried his best to make people work faster. The gold sent in advance has also arrived near the Hou family's house. Our people first found out the details of the Hou family's people, but they still I have no contact with Hou Zhang."
Xiao Yan said, "Let them stay still until the Cao family arrives."
After a pause, he said again:
"Those who go to Yanzhong should also hurry up. After the autumn harvest there is a time when grain production is abundant. Grain merchants from all over the place are mixed in. It is the best time to stock up on grain and it is less likely to alert others. Let them go faster and send more Several groups of people should disperse so as not to attract the attention of the Southern Qi spies."
Jinyun asked: "Hasn't the master persuaded Duke Cao to help, but you can't trust him?"
"How could that happen?"
Xiao Yan continued: "You have no doubts about your employment. Cao Dejiang has helped me more than once. Since he agreed to seek help from Hou Zhang for me, there is nothing I can't trust in him. It's just that the relationship between the Hou family and Hou Zhang is complicated. Even if Hou Zhang has to hoard enough Food will also take some time.”
"Food and grass in the army is a major matter and cannot be ignored. Be prepared to avoid making mistakes."
He never leaves himself with no way out.
What's more, there is no shortage of money in hand now, and the food will not be damaged after three or five years of hoarding. The rats in the Wei Dynasty's current treasury are empty and they will starve to death before being carried out. There is always a place to store more, no matter how bad it is, if it is really There are too many, and even Andy can buy them, so he won't lose.
After hearing this, Jinyun thought about it and thought it made sense. He whispered that he would send a message to Yanzhong to urge them to buy food as soon as possible.
Xiao Yan was quick in reviewing the folding papers. While talking to Jinyun about external matters, he was looking through the folding papers sent to the capital from various places. again and again.
Jinyun stepped forward and put them aside, sorted them into boxes and put them away, and then he hesitated to speak.
"Is there anything you want to say that's worth your hesitation?" Xiao Yan asked quietly without raising his head.
Jinyun hesitated for a moment: "Those people who were exiled by the Lu family are all dead."
Xiao Yan paused in his hand, raised his head and frowned: "Who did it?"
"On the surface, he is Emperor An, but after investigation, he is the prince, but..."
"But there are others?" Xiao Yan looked a little more serious.
Jinyun nodded: "The people we sent to find Lu Jiu'an have never found his whereabouts, and there is no trace of him at the Pingshan Palace. King Pingshan was very frank and unresistant to the people sent by the court. He only said that he was deceived by Lu Jiu'an. , thinking that he went south under the order of the imperial court, and that Lu Jiuan used his name to do the previous thing of hoarding grain and buying horses."
When Lu Jiu'an went to Prince Pingshan's Mansion, nothing happened to the Lu family. Although Lu Chongyuan was not as good as before, in the eyes of outsiders, Emperor An made concessions to the Lu family. Queen Lu was still in power. Andi's actions are justified.
"The Qian family did find out that the person who bought the horse had something to do with Prince Pingshan's palace, but Prince Pingshan said that person had already secretly colluded with Lu Jiuan to betray the palace, and the whereabouts of his family members were also unknown. Prince Pingshan was never there from the beginning to the end. The Qian family has appeared in front of him, so if he is accused of this, he will be honest and unjust."
"Liu Tongen's people tried to invite King Pingshan to the capital in the name of being summoned by His Majesty, but King Pingshan refused directly. He said that the He family had been unjustly exterminated despite being loyal to the royal family. His Majesty had just issued a sinful edict and had done so many evil things. He I don’t want to enter the capital at this time for fear of following in the footsteps of the He family.”
"Those people sent by Liu Tong'en refused to give up and wanted to take the person away by force. As a result, they injured Prince Pingshan's son when they fought with the people from Prince Pingshan's Mansion and almost killed him. Prince Pingshan killed most of the people in anger. , the remaining few escaped, but now there are rumors everywhere that King Pingshan has rebelled."
