Chapter 88 89. Arrival
After some people tried it, others also started to taste it boldly.
As soon as they entered the entrance, those who had dug felt that they had not dug enough, while those who had not dug were beating their heads and stamping their feet, wondering why they had not followed them up the mountain this time.
Jin Qianqian also closed her eyes to rest and explored the space at the same time.
The ginseng that was planted before seemed to be no different from what we saw. The leaves and fruits were still standing upright, which meant that they should have survived.
"If I can use consciousness to take it in, can I use consciousness to pull it out?" Jin Qianqian fell into meditation, but the herbs did not move at all, not giving her any face.
"What are you doing?" Gu Wenheng saw that her brows were almost wrinkled into a knot, so he pushed her gently.
Jin Qianqian told her own discovery, "I don't know what the reason is?"
Gu Wenheng, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. You will figure it out eventually."
“…”

"Your Majesty, they have caused chaos among themselves." Le San reported in a low voice as soon as he arrived in the study, his tone full of gloating.
Hua Shunming, "It's my turn now. I'm not in a hurry. Pass the order down. I'm not feeling well now. I won't attend the court today. If you have anything to say, I'll report it tomorrow."
"Yes, I'll go out and convey your order right away." Le San bent his body and backed out, grinning, and his feet moved a few beats slower.
Hua Shunming tapped the table, then quickly picked up his pen and continued to review memorials on the desk.
When all the officials waiting in the court heard that they would not attend the court today, they were immediately in an uproar.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
"Prime Minister Kuang, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. This family has no peace. If we don't find a way to solve it, how are we going to live?"
"Prime Minister Kuang, how can we discuss matters when the emperor is not attending court?"
Kuang Yijun pressed his forehead and said, "Stop arguing. Didn't you hear what Eunuch Le said just now? The emperor is not feeling well. We should consult the imperial physician first."
"Yes," everyone suddenly realized.
Cao Xiangqian sneered and left the court with his generals.
After being rejected again and again, these civil servants had no choice but to turn to Cao Xiangqian for help.
"That won't do. We, the Northern and Southern armies, are only responsible for the safety of the Imperial City in Shangjing. We will not leave our posts without the order of the emperor." General Liu Chang turned around and left.
Cao Xiangqian spread his hands and said, "You can see this. Although I am the Minister of War, I cannot control General Wei and his men. Besides, the North and South armies are the emperor's personal guards. You are not naive enough to think that General Liu is willing to take risks for you?"
It is hard to say whether to say that these people are smart or stupid. No, they are pretending to be stupid while being smart. They know very well that the Northern and Southern armies are the most important line of defense for the emperor to protect the capital, yet they dare to have such thoughts.
Zhou Shicong said, "Master Cao, there is nothing we can do. All of our servants are guarding outside the yard, but even so, the refugees are still rushing in. If the maids behind us hadn't come forward to help, these refugees would have rushed to the second courtyard.
The backyard is full of women. What should we do if we get in trouble?
The people in your military department are all from a military background, so they can naturally resist. How about you lend me some men?"
Cao Xiangqian said, "This should be an accidental incident. These refugees have never troubled these officials before. You can discuss it with them properly. It should be a mistake."
Minister of Rites Chen Zishu had a painful look on his face. "How could they be so wrong? I think they had already found out everything. They are targeting the houses of civil servants like us. My small farm in the suburbs of Beijing was looted. If they continue to do this, we will not be able to live like this."
Cao Xiangqian spread his hands, "But what can I do? I don't have many people in my house, and I can't help you.
Otherwise, you can do this, and not be bound by those rules and regulations. The sooner you can settle those refugees, the better life will be. "
These bastards, when I asked them to do something in the past, they always pushed it here and there. Now I can finally have a good time. Especially when I see the aggrieved looks on their faces, it makes me feel so good.
"General Liu is, after all, a subordinate of your Ministry of War. You can give an order to have his soldiers circle the city a few more times and help gather those refugees together. This does not conflict with their mission of guarding Shangjing." Xu Zhiwen also spoke up.
Cao Xiangqian drooped his eyelids and said, "Lord Xu, you think too highly of me, Cao. General Liu is the emperor's confidant and his cousin. How dare I give him an order?
In fact, I think that you, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, should put more effort into calculating when the rain will fall, so that those refugees can return home sooner."
Xu Zhiwen: "..." These rough guys, don't they really think that the Imperial Observatory is in charge of God?
"Okay, it's useless for you to block me here. If you are worried about losses in your respective mansions, it is better to settle those refugees as soon as possible. It is better than anything else."
Cao Xiangqian had watched the fun and suffered losses, so naturally he didn't want to fight with them here. He found an excuse and left these people behind.
&
"These refugees must have been instigated by someone, otherwise why would they all rush towards the official residence?" Chen Zishu gritted his teeth. Their family was not prepared at the beginning, and their granddaughter who was about to enter the palace was almost hit. The thought of it made him feel scared.
"Let's go find Prime Minister Kuang. We can't delay this any longer. Otherwise, I don't think any of the palaces will be safe." Xu Zhiwen also felt sympathetic. "Now the Northern and Southern armies don't care and only care about guarding the palace. In the end, we will be the ones who suffer."
He actually had a guess in his mind but didn't dare say it out loud. He guessed that other adults had the same idea in their minds but no one dared to point it out.

The emperor sat steadily in the Southern Study, listening to one piece of news after another, and finally laughed sarcastically.
"These are the officials that the late emperor had always favored, the loyal ministers that he left for me. I think they are all a bunch of parasites, a bunch of ignorant and greedy parasites."
Le San, along with his trusted followers, completely blended into the background.
"It seems that we need to resume scientific research as soon as possible, and these pollutants need new clean water to clean them up."
Hua Shunming didn't think for long. He waved his hand and summoned the drafter to come in. He looked at the imperial edict on the table and finally sighed, "We have to wait a little longer."
&
"Look, more people are coming." These days, more and more people have come to get water or join their team, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
"There seem to be too many people here, and they look so densely packed." Someone soon discovered something was wrong, "Let's see if the people in front are from Stone Village."
"Really? Let's go and have a look. Why are they here?"
"He looks a bit embarrassed, everyone hurry over to help."
Everyone, young and old, walked unsteadily, and some even supported each other.
