Volume 1, Chapter 67: The Turbulent Times in the Capital
Chen Yin stood in the yard for a while, until he saw the light in Su Muyan's room went out, then he turned around to look for Chu Ze.
In Chu Ze's room, the others had not rested either. Ever since they heard the news that the remnants of the previous dynasty were going to restore the throne, everyone knew that the master would definitely come to see them tonight.
So no one was sleepy at all at this moment.
After Chen Yin came in, he was very satisfied with everyone's condition. Although there was no need to march and fight now, the necessary vigilance and good habits could not be abandoned.
"Chu Feng, there's no need for the person in the secret room to be alive."
"Make sure he disappears completely, but don't dirty this yard."
Chu Feng: "Yes, Master!"
"Chu Ze, I'll give you my token tomorrow. Go and find the Minister of War and tell him the news."
"He's my man, and I'll keep it a secret. But you also need to repeatedly warn him not to reveal any information about us. If he disobeys, he will be killed immediately, without mercy!"
Everyone understood that the matter was of vital importance, so Chu Ze responded forcefully: "Understood, Master. I will definitely get it done!"
Shen Yin thought for a moment and said, "The sooner this happens, the better. You should leave tomorrow."
"As for the others, I think they all know what kind of dangers are hidden in the mountains behind. So everyone must be careful and pay attention to their safety."
After explaining everything, Shen Yin returned to his room and wrote a letter with his left hand.
This matter probably involves too many aspects. I am afraid no one will believe it with just a few words. So in order to gain people's trust, I still wrote a letter.
After finishing everything, he lay down and rested with peace of mind.
The next day, before dawn, when the roosters in the village crowed, Chu Ze had already arrived at Chen Yin's room.
Chen Yin gave his instructions again and gave the letter to Chu Ze, telling him to leave immediately.
Chu Ze walked for a long time before the sky brightened up and everyone got up!
Everyone was chatting and laughing together, and they were planning to open up a piece of land to grow some vegetables today.
"You're laughing so happily, what vegetables are you going to plant?" Chen Yin walked over to Su Muyan who was talking and laughing.
Su Muyan turned around and smiled at Chen Yin, "You have a lot of vegetables to plant. You can plant some cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers!"
"No, but it's almost winter, so we can't plant anymore, right?"
At this time, Granny Li happened to pass by and said, "I think we can plant some. The temperature here is much higher than when we were in the capital!"
"Based on my experience, I think we can grow a crop."
Shen Youchu was also very happy to hear this and said: "Grandma Li has more experience than us. In this case, let's plant a crop and try it out. It's just a job that takes a lot of effort."
The people next to him heard it and quickly washed up and had breakfast. After they finished eating, they started to work.
Not long after, when the sun came out, everyone in the land bought by the Su family was clearing the land, making ridges, and those who were making fence stakes were also busy. In short, everyone was sharing the joy and working hard.
The capital city at this time was in a state of turmoil, and everywhere there was an atmosphere that chilled people to the bone.
In the Golden Palace, a teacup shattered!
Then came the scolding voice: "What's the point of raising a bunch of you trash?"
"Apart from wasting food and embezzling money, what else can you do?"
At this time, a large group of people were kneeling in the hall. They were all as quiet as cicadas and did not dare to make a sound.
"How about you, Prince Consort, tell me how we can get these barbarians out of our country?"
"And guarantee that they will never dare to invade our territory?"
The prince consort who was named was none other than Bai Si, that ungrateful bastard!
When Bai Si heard his name being called, his whole body became even stiffer. Upon closer inspection, his calves were still shaking.
Then, Bai Si replied tremblingly, "I think if we want to get those barbarians to leave our territory and stop invading, marriage is the best solution!"
When the people in the hall heard this, they all stared at Bai Si with sharp eyes.
What a good son-in-law he is. He actually dares to say that he wants to marry a princess.
Who doesn't know that the current emperor has only two princesses? One died young, and the other is the current Princess Changle, who is his wife, Bai Si.
So where can we get princesses who can marry into a foreign country?
"What do you mean, Your Majesty? Our territory is constantly being invaded. Even if we had a princess to marry, it wouldn't necessarily stop their advance southward. Furthermore, the current emperor only has two princesses. Where would he find anyone suitable for marriage?"
At that moment, another minister also said tremblingly: "Yes, everyone knows that the current emperor only has two princesses. How can we conjure up a princess to marry?"
After the minister finished speaking, everyone held their breath and listened to what the emperor in front of them said.
Anyway, the minister who is kneeling here now and has a daughter of the right age at home looks down on this prince consort even more.
If the emperor really agrees to this proposal, then the candidate for marriage can only be chosen from the legitimate daughters of the ministers' families.
My fellow ministers are all shrewd people. The legitimate daughter of your family is a good connection for you. How could you bear to let her go to marry for nothing?
So at this moment, the kneeling ministers all hated this prince consort.
But Bai Si, that ungrateful bastard, was feeling smug at the moment, completely unaware that he had attracted a huge wave of hatred with just a few words!
It's just that no one has the energy to pay attention to him now. Everyone is worried and focused on what the emperor will say!
The hall was silent for a long time before a voice was heard from above.
"Your Highness's proposal is not completely unworkable. I believe that success depends on human effort, so we might as well make some preparations. What do you think, my dear ministers?"
Dear ministers, after hearing what the emperor said, their hearts immediately sank.
If the thought could be condensed into substance at this moment, Bai Si, who was kneeling in front, would have turned into a bloody man.
But it was useless to say more. The ministers could only pray silently in their hearts that the daughter of the minister who was chosen would not be the unlucky one in their own family.
Before the emperor said the final name, everyone was very nervous.
I don't know what the emperor was thinking, but he finally said, "Let me discuss this matter again!"
Then the court was dismissed, and the ministers were thinking...
