To Rule in a Turbulent World

When the two brothers said this, Mrs. Wang was coming out from behind the door. When she heard this, her face changed slightly. You Miao didn't look at her, and said, "The villa is about to be repaired, come and play when you have time."

You Hange nodded with a smile, but Wang Shi stood outside the door and said calmly: "Are you back? Your father has been waiting for a long time."

"Two jars of wine to honor him." You Miao ordered the servant to unload the wine, and said to Cheng Guangwu: "Xiao Wu, take the horse to the stable."

Mrs. Wang followed to see the wine, You Miao and You Hange went into the garden together, You Hange said, "Did Li Zhifeng follow you?"

"He had to make a fuss about the villa, so he didn't follow." You Miao replied, "Where's dad? I'll go and see him."

"I'm waiting for you to eat." You Hango said: "Come and drink tea in the house, I will ask the servants to prepare the meal."

The meal was set up in the hall, and You Dechuan came out. You Miao was only talking lukewarmly, and You Dechuan asked, "How is the villa?"

You Miao: "It's okay."

You Dechuan: "Your mother liked that place very much back then."

You Miao: "Well, Shen Yuan, the place where celebrities love each other."

You Dechuan: "You have to take good care of that garden."

You Miao rolled her eyes, and You Dechuan said again: "When will you take the imperial examination in Beijing?"

You Miao: "I haven't gone to the township examination yet, let's talk about it."

You Dechuan nodded slowly, the father and son had a meal, You Miao went back to the room to rest, it was still the same room, Mu Qier didn't know where to go, the Wang family wanted to send people over, but You Miao sent them all Send him away and let Cheng Guangwu come and serve him.

The room was dark and damp, and Cheng Guangwu bowed to light the fire, but he was not as careful as Li Zhifeng after all. You Miao sat blankly, looking at the brazier, thinking that Li Zhifeng was better.

Cheng Guangwu said: "Master, pack it up."

You Miao instructed: "Just sleep on the floor bunk behind the screen."

Cheng Guangwu nodded, and looked at You Miao again, You Miao twitched his eyebrows and said, "Why?"

Cheng Guangwu shook his head, and You Miao said again: "If you have something to say, just say it."

After all, this person is still not used to it. Without Li Zhifeng's understanding, You Miao didn't wait for him to serve her. She took off her clothes and shrank into the quilt, feeling cold and wet. When Cheng Guangwu came to touch the quilt, You Miao said: " what you want to say?"

Cheng Guangwu said: "The people in the house want to chew on the young master's tongue...can you beat him up?"

You Miao understood as soon as she heard it, most likely the servants in the mansion said something behind her back in front of Cheng Guangwu.Then he replied: "You can't beat them with your hands now, go back and learn how to fight with Li Zhifeng."

Cheng Guangwu laughed, and You Miao sent him to sleep, lying on the bed, feeling very uncomfortable, at the second watch, footsteps came from outside, asking: "Did brother fall asleep?" It was You Hange.

You Miao stood up and said, "Come in."

You Hango said: "Forget about going to sleep, we will talk about it tomorrow."

You Hange left, and You Miao tossed and turned on the bed that night, very uncomfortable, just wanted to go back to Jiangbo Villa quickly.After living freely in Jiangbo Villa for a long time, Biyu Villa doesn't seem like a home.I hadn't noticed before that the houses here are dark and cramped, and it's really uncomfortable to live in.

Liuzhou is not as beautiful as the riverside. The mountains here are undulating, the sun is always invisible, and it is wet and sticky. The riverside is full of blue sky, and there is no big wall. Go out and sit in the yard, and the blue sky will be harvested in large swaths. In the eyes... You Miao tossed and turned on the bed and didn't fall asleep until midnight.

When You Miao woke up early the next morning, she smelled the aroma of wine. Cheng Guangwu came in from outside and said, "The kitchen smashed a jug of wine from the young master."

The wine was a century-old No. [-] Scholar Red, and a jar was broken. The whole villa was full of wine fragrance, which shocked many people. You Miao also knew that the housekeeper must not take this wine seriously. Now it is fine. Two silver coins are gone with a bang.After washing and coming out, all the servants in the house were talking about the wine jar, and You Hango was still scolding the servant who broke the wine jar in front of the porch.

"Forget it." You Miao said casually: "There are still a lot at home, just come and get it if you want to drink."

In the morning, You Miao went to greet his father first. The county magistrate of Pei County came again and was sitting in the hall talking with You Dechuan. You Miao met the official and listened to what the two said, to the effect that it was about the capital and northern Xinjiang. affairs.

Northern Xinjiang is in chaos every year, and the robbery of merchants has already started a year ago. After You Deyou's caravan returned to Beijing, many ministers were very angry and ordered the six cities of Yanbian to redeploy their defenses. Once the whole body is moved, the two major army units will be rearranged.

"The third prince was also reprimanded when he went back." The county magistrate said lightly, "I heard what His Majesty meant..."

When You Miao heard about Zhao Chao, she couldn't explain it easily, and the county magistrate continued: "...he was asked to go to Korea to garrison for a period of time."

You Dechuan shook his head and sighed: "It's too hard to join the army as a prince. How about the battle between Goryeo and the Quanrong people?"

The county magistrate smiled and said: "His Majesty's mother's family is out of power, and the court can't hold a bowl of water. After going like this, I don't know when I will come back. After the crown prince ascends the throne, it is even less his turn to speak. Once the city defenses in Xinjiang are withdrawn, I don’t know how many people will flock to the Central Plains, hundreds of thousands of refugees on the border, this is a big trouble.”

You Dechuan glanced at You Miao and said, "Go out and talk to your elder brother."

You Miao wanted to listen again, but You Dechuan obviously didn't want him to listen, so she had to get up and leave, but she didn't look for You Hange when she went out.

After You Miao left, You Dechuan's words loosened a lot. From his father's conversation, You Miao deduced several things.

One: The North is at war—the Goryeos and the Inunongs are fighting.

Second: The relationship between the Tianqi Dynasty in the Central Plains and the Wuhu tribes on the border is becoming increasingly tense. The robbery of merchants in Yanbian was not the only one encountered by You Miao a few years ago. It happened five or six times in succession. Jointly signed a letter to start a war with the Hu people.

Third: The Hu people in the six cities of Yanbian are rampant, and have withdrawn their defenses to the three passes of Zhengliang, Xiliang and Dongliang. However, You Miao has been to Zhengliang Pass and knows that there is no market at all, and it is not suitable for farming.There are at least [-] people in the border villages, and they are migrating to the Central Plains for a while. I am afraid that the sixteen prefectures in the Central Plains will be chaotic for a while.

Fourth: Zhao Chao was scolded, and even his generals were also punished. This third prince, who hated forming parties with civil servants since he was a child, and loved being with military generals, will soon lose power and be driven to the border of Korea. Lead troops out.

The county magistrate drank tea and got up to leave. You Miao walked quietly in the back garden. Others didn't care, but Zhao Chao always treated him very well. It's just that when a friend was in trouble, You Miao couldn't help her. Can not help but feel sad.
