Chapter 154 Ruier, come and serve me!
After Di Gui left Taiqian Palace.
Ye Chen wrote the imperial edict in his own handwriting and just when he asked Cheng En to send someone to hand it over to Di Gui, Shen Qiu stood up and clasped his fists towards him and said, "Your Majesty, Niu San is here."
"Give this to Niu San. Oh, and tell him to burn the bamboo slips after he's finished reading them. And tell him not to disclose this matter. Otherwise, I will definitely punish him severely."
Ye Chen took out a bamboo slip, wrote a few words casually, and handed it to Shen Qiu.
The stockpiling of military rations and the sale of flour must be done behind the back of the powerful officials, so confidentiality is very important.
"By the way, tell Niu San to make a few more stone mills. They will be of great use to me."
"Inform Du Min that once Niu San builds the stone mill, he'll receive a raise."
Ye Chen specifically instructed.
Upon hearing this, although Shen Qiu didn't understand what a stone mill was, he could guess that it must be related to the bamboo slips that Lin Ziyun gave to Niu San.
So, without asking any more questions, she took the bamboo slips and retreated.
And after Shen Qiu left.
Ye Chen stood up and walked out of Taiqian Palace, got on the sedan chair and headed to Yangxin Palace.
But he planned to practice martial arts.
these days.
Because of the Lu merchants' affairs, he made many incognito visits.
Naturally, I have no intention of practicing martial arts.
As soon as Ye Chen returned to the Yangxin Palace, he immediately asked Cheng'en to find a wooden sword and a bowl, and began to practice basic skills in the courtyard of the Yangxin Palace.
First, he put two bowls of water on his knees, did horse stance, and then practiced swordsmanship.
Until I broke out in a sweat.
At this time, Shen Qiu suddenly arrived.
"Your Majesty, the Jingzhao Yin has already found all the records of the Beijing camp's activities in the Qinling Mountains."
Shen Qiu looked at Ye Chen who was practicing sword with some surprise, and clasped his fists.
She had previously thought that Ye Chen's enthusiasm for martial arts was just a passing fancy.
During this period, Ye Chen did neglect practicing martial arts, but as soon as he had free time, Ye Chen started practicing again.
Shen Qiu was also a little surprised at Ye Chen's perseverance.
"Well, put it there. I'll take a look at it later."
Ye Chen threw down the knife, turned to Shen Qiu and said, "Qiu'er, come here and teach me the sword technique."
"Yes!"
Shen Qiu stepped forward and began to teach Ye Chen swordsmanship.
Ye Chen soon became sweaty and deeply felt the hardship of practicing martial arts.
But every bit of sweat will be rewarded.
Ye Chen could feel that his swordsmanship had improved a lot. At least when fighting with Shen Qiu, he was defeated after more than ten rounds at the beginning, but he could fight for twenty rounds later.
A little effort is worth it.
"Qiu'er, please have dinner with me."
Ye Chen said to Shen Qiu.
At this time, Shen Qiu's pretty face was flushed and sweaty, and her cool temperament was reduced a little, but it was completely different from usual.
Ye Chen naturally wanted to communicate more with him.
"Your Majesty, I have to return to Kunning Palace."
Shen Qiu refused.
She always felt a little strange having dinner with Ye Chen for no reason.
After all, there is no reward without merit, and she usually eats alone.
"Oh, then go ahead."
Ye Chen nodded, but he didn't mean to force him.
After Shen Qiu left, Ye Chen finished his dinner alone and said to Cheng En, "Ask Hua Rui to serve me."
"Yes!"
Wait until the pistil enters the Yangxin Palace.
Ye Chen was looking at the bamboo slips sent by Shen Qiu.
"Rui'er, come here and give me a shoulder massage."
"Yes."
Hua Rui walked forward and began to massage Ye Chen's shoulders gently.
Ye Chen continued to read the bamboo slips, but soon his expression began to darken.
After he finished reading all the bamboo slips, he threw them all on the ground.
This action frightened Cheng'en and Huarui so much that they quickly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your health!"
Cheng'en lay on the ground and said to Ye Chen.
"All of you get up, this is none of your business."
Ye Chen waved his hand irritably.
After Hua Rui stood up, she carefully asked, "Your Majesty, what happened? Why are you so angry?"
"It's nothing serious. The entire Qinling Mountains have been seized by the Beijing Camp!"
Ye Chen showed a sneer on his face. The bamboo slips sent by Li Hu clearly recorded that starting from three years ago, the people of the Beijing Camp had blocked several main roads leading into the Qinling Mountains in the name of training, and had never withdrawn since then.
At the same time, people sent by the Jingzhao Yinfu to survey the Qinling Mountains discovered time and time again that the area of the Qinling Mountains controlled by the Beijing camp was constantly expanding.
Up to now, no one from Jingzhao Yinfu can set foot in the entire Qinling Mountains.
"Li Hu didn't hide anything at all. He was so unscrupulous. He must have been instructed by Yang Dechang."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, but he could feel that the powerful officials in the court were trying to intimidate him.
What they rely on is the troops of the Beijing camp.
"This Yang Dechang seems very confident. Could it be that he has completely taken control of the entire Beijing Camp?"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, but he also understood that he had to wait for Di Gui to gather enough people before he could start investigating Qinling.
This is a big net.
Those powerful officials have been cultivating for three whole years. It is unrealistic for Ye Chen to overthrow them immediately. He can only endure it for the time being.
"Put these bamboo slips away for me, and pass on the order to the Jingzhao Yin. Such a major incident occurred in Qinling, and he actually failed to report it. He is truly guilty of negligence. Fine him one year's salary and twenty strokes of the cane!"
Ye Chen finally slapped the table and said.
At present, the Qinling Mountains cannot be investigated for the time being, but the officials in the court should indeed be punished.
Li Hu was just an ordinary scholar. Twenty strokes of the cane should be enough to make him bedridden.
"Also, tell the Queen Mother that when Li Hu is unable to work, choose someone you trust to go to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion and temporarily take over the position of Jingzhao Yin."
"Let the Queen Mother send some people to Qinling to investigate and see what the specific situation is like."
Ye Chen said so.
It is indeed time to replace the Jingzhao Yin.
Ye Chen now has a group of poor students in his hands, and he just needs to choose one to go to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
"Yes!"
Cheng'en retreated immediately.
It was only then that Ye Chen looked at the pistil.
At this time, Hua Rui was wearing a pink brocade dress. Her youthful and energetic body made her look like a girl, but the mature aura that she exuded all the time gave her a bit of the temperament of a married woman.
"Rui'er, come and change my clothes and help me wash up."
Hearing this, Hua Rui blushed but nodded shyly.
"The minister and concubine follow the order."
Hua Rui walked forward and began to undress Ye Chen, but as soon as she took off the dragon robe, Ye Chen suddenly hugged Hua Rui in his arms.
"Rui'er, come to the bed and serve me."
Hua Rui buried her head in Ye Chen's arms, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.
"Ah."
