Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Han Shi said with a smile: "Since the queen asked for that rain, the crops have grown better."

Although Han Shi didn't believe in praying for rain, it didn't matter. As long as the people benefited, it didn't matter how the rain came.

Yin Qingxuan smiled and said: "That's good. Sir, you are really troubled by staying in the field all day."

Han Shi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. This is what I should do. Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please come here."

Everyone came to the edge of the field, where there was a small table with warm tea to relieve the heat.

Han Shi ordered people to move several small stone piers and asked the emperor and Yin Qingxuan to sit down.

Looking at the wheat waves blown by the breeze, Yin Qingxuan was in a good mood.

"I want to go for a walk in the wheat fields."

Ye Jingyu nodded and said: "Go, don't go far."

Qin Tian and Li Qi immediately followed.

After Yin Qingxuan walked away, Ye Jingyu asked: "Have the flour and rice harvested before reached the hands of the people?"

Han Shi immediately said respectfully: "I only gave it to two officials and merchants for the use of the common people in the capital. All the money has been entered into the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue."

Ye Jingyu asked quietly: "I heard that a grain merchant purchased rice and noodles recently. Do you know who did it?"

Han Shi was slightly startled.

"The old minister doesn't know."

As soon as his mind changed, he immediately asked: "Could it be that the emperor is suspicious..."

"Yes."

Ye Jingyu looked at the wheat field in the distance and said in a low voice: "Dazhou has fought against Jiangwu several times and was restrained. Now these barbarians want to marry the princess. They must be confident. I suspect that the capital has been infiltrated by the enemy. Now there is another person buying grain, and maybe it is the other party. From today on, no more grain of grain from the Ministry of Households can be leaked out. I will send someone to inform you when the grain will be released."

Han Shi was sweating instantly.

"The old minister obeyed."

Ye Jingyu's eyes swept across Han Shi's face, and his voice became a little softer.

"I have sent people to investigate this matter thoroughly, you just don't know."

Han Shi lowered his head and clasped his fists.

"Old minister, I respectfully obey the emperor's instructions."

Ye Jingyu stood up with a faint smile.

"This is not a court, so there is no need for so many etiquettes. Come with me to the fields for a walk."

Han Shi replied respectfully: "Old minister, I obey."

The monarch and his minister walked into the field hand in hand.

At the same time, a small courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.

A person whose appearance could not be seen clearly stood in a room completely wrapped in black cloth.

He put his hands behind his back and faced the wall. He was short and thin, and his voice had some vicissitudes of time.

"The current situation is very unfavorable to us. I heard that Jiang Wu's shield formation has been cracked, which means that there is another wave of people in Beijing who are collaborating with Jiang Wu. If we can't achieve anything, we will definitely be Jiang Wu abandoned it."

Opposite him stood a young man in green robe.

After hearing this, the young man asked respectfully: "Then what should we do?"

The man pondered for a moment and said: "Right now we have to do three things. One is to find the person who is collaborating with Jiang Wu and see if we can cooperate. The other is to spread rumors. We can use Ye Jingyu's trust in the demon concubine to make a fuss. In addition, we must incite rebels from various places to divert the attention of the little emperor. Finally, we must find a way to quickly push that idiot Ye Jingyao into the court."

The boy thought for a while and asked: "The demon concubine prayed for rain for the people. Will they believe this rumor?"

The man chuckled and said: "As long as you have money, falsehoods will become true. You can find some wells and poison the wells. Then you can say that the rainwater is poisonous. It has been just three or two days since praying for rain. At this time Poison hair is more appropriate.”

"Yes, I'll do it when I'm young."

The boy quickly left the small courtyard. The person in the room stood in the room for a while and then left through the secret door.

There were three people sitting in another place in the capital. This place was Room No. [-] of Tianzi in Zuihongyuan.

The first person is Yin Xingyun, with Fangruo and Guan Xiao sitting on both sides.

Yin Xingyun raised his glass and took a sip, and said: "White flour cannot be used as seeds, and rice has its husks removed, so it is useless. It must be mainly seeds. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish."

Fangruo immediately lowered his head and said in a nervous voice: "Master, forgive me, Fangruo saw rice noodles for the first time and didn't know that seeding is not allowed."

Yin Xingyun said in a deep voice: "Well, I only found out recently that this thing does not belong to Dazhou. It is understandable that you don't know it."

Guan Xiao filled the wine for him and said with a smile: "The eldest son should know that all these grains come from the Yao Concubine. Why don't the eldest son go to the palace to find her? Instead, he chooses the far distance and collects grains in the capital. All the white flour and rice are Rare plants, if collected on a large scale, will definitely attract attention.”

Yin Xingyun curled his lips and said with a smile: "I did this just to attract the attention of the dog emperor. If he focuses on food, he will inevitably neglect other places."

Guan Xiao looked surprised.

"Oh? Could it be that the eldest son has other plans?"

Yin Xingyun drank another glass of wine, with a hint of drunkenness in his eyes.

"Of course, you will know when the time comes."

Guan Xiao raised his glass and said, "Then I'm looking forward to the good news from the eldest son!"

Yin Xingyun glanced at him and said: "Brother Guan Shi, why did he do this? Marshal Guan is a veteran of three dynasties. If he knows that Brother Guan Shi has his heart set on a foreign country, he will definitely get angry. Aren't you afraid of this?"

Guan Xiao pursed his lips and smiled.

"General Yin is not a loyal man, why is the eldest son like this?"

The two looked at each other for a long time, and then laughed.

"Since you and I share the same interests, let us drink from this cup."

The two touched each other hard and drank the wine in the glass. The drunkenness in Yin Xingyun's eyes became stronger.

Thinking of Yin Qingxuan, a fire suddenly burst out in my heart. When things come true, I will take her away from Kyoto...

Yin Qingxuan couldn't help but sneeze.

Li Qi hurriedly asked: "Mother, are you catching a cold?"

Although it was a little awkward after learning that Xiao Xuanzi became an empress, the two quickly adapted to it.

"How can you catch a cold on such a hot day?"

Yin Qingxuan rubbed her nose, probably because she was pricked by the awn just now.

Seeing that Ye Jingyu and Han Shi had returned to the field, he said, "Let's go back too."

The three of them stepped on the ditch and returned to the field. Ye Jingyu also felt that it was almost time, so he asked Yin Qingxuan to get in the car and go back to the palace.

Seeing that Yin Qingxuan always had a smile on her face, Ye Jingyu couldn't help but ask: "Is it so good outside the palace?"

Yin Qingxuan held a bunch of wheat ears in her hand and played with them along the awns.

"Does your Majesty want to hear the truth?"

Ye Jingyu nodded. "nature."

Yin Qingxuan organized her words and said: "There are not so many rules and regulations outside the palace, which makes people feel comfortable, and..."

"And what?"

Ye Jingyu asked with interest.

She glanced at Ye Jingyu and whispered, "I also envy the monogamous life of ordinary people. Even if they are poor, they are very comfortable."

Ye Jingyu raised his eyes.

"Do you want that kind of life too?"

Yin Qingxuan avoided his sight.

"I do not know."

After a long silence, Ye Jingyu said slowly: "I understand!"
