Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining returned to the apse halfway up the mountain, his face pale and relieved, wiped his forehead, his hands were covered in cold sweat, and his heart was beating wildly.

Qiu Lu hurriedly twisted the veil to serve her and wipe her face, and said with lingering fear: I just scared the slaves to death! There are so many people, a crowd of black people, if they rushed in, a single spit could drown us. Die! The poor girl is witty and answered the question so cleverly, if it provokes public resentment, we won't be trampled to death by this time!

Qin Yining took the honey water sent from Yunyun and poured it into a bowl, only then did she feel alive.

I'm witty? I'm almost dying of nervousness. Putting down the white porcelain and gold covered bowl, Qin Yining stroked his chest and said, Do you think it's so easy to pretend to be a magician? In that kind of scene, I carefully considered every word, and didn't say a word. I dare to say it wrong, and I really want to act like a 'saint', but you know who I am, where do I come from? I was thinking about what to do, but luckily I had already guessed some of the questions they were going to ask in advance, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do.

No, I was holding the girl, and the girl was shaking all the time, so I was shaking nervously. Ji Yun smiled bitterly, Why did the girl know in advance what questions they would ask?

It's not difficult. At this juncture, I can still guess what the people care about.

Qin Yining was talking when a guard outside said, Returning to the real person, someone from the Marquis of Anping has arrived.

Qin Yining was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, Quickly please.

In a hurry, they went downstairs with Jiyun and Qiulu.

When he saw Qin Huaiyuan, the second master, and the third master, Qin Yining laughed happily. Goodbye, their clothes were soaked with sweat and wrinkled like pickles. Qin Yining knew that the three must be crowded with the crowd. Together, they must have come to another hospital after knowing the news.

Qin Yining gave a moving salute: Father, second uncle, third uncle, it's so late, I have to make you go this far.

Where is it? The third master sat down on the armchair by himself, and said, Sister Yi, quickly bring the third uncle a bowl of herbal tea, my throat is smoking in a hurry.

Qin Yining urged Ji Yun and Qiu Lu: Let's go soon.

Ask the elders to sit down, Qiu Lu and Ji Yun came back with trays after a while, and said with a smile, There is iced sour plum soup, which not only quenches thirst but also cools off the heat, sir, please use it.

As he spoke, he brought a large bowl to Qin Huaiyuan, the second master, and the third master.

Qin Yining waited for the refills with a pot on the side.

Waiting for my father and two uncles to drink half a pot of iced sour plum soup, only a few people put down the bowl.

As soon as we got the news, we came here, but there were too many people, so we had to abandon the car and walk in with the crowd. You just acted like your father saw it, and you did a good job. Qin Huaiyuan smiled.

Qin Yining said with embarrassment, Have my father and uncles seen it? I did it on purpose to pretend.

The second master smiled and said: It's good, it's very similar, and it's still holding a little rabbit? It looks like Chang'e in the light. The common people have never seen this battle, they just look at the appearance. I was stunned first.

Yes. You are so good, otherwise no one will believe what you say. The third master also said.

Qin Yining said, I was afraid that what I said wouldn't work, that's why I made this decision. At least I'm going to deal with the crisis for the time being.

You said that you will set up an altar to ask the sky tomorrow, what will you do then?

Qin Yining smiled bitterly: Where can I set up an altar? I don't know anything, and I can only ask a serious Taoist priest to teach me. I believe that if I follow the steps, I shouldn't make a fool of myself. As for how to give the people an explanation, I still have to Look at the emperor.

Qin Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, So, you have already figured out how to solve the food problem?

The daughter is not sure whether the problem is easy to solve. Just as I was about to discuss it with my father, didn't my father come to me in a heartbeat.

Qin Huaiyuan laughed when he heard the words.

Qin Yining was just about to say what he thought of the countermeasures, when a slightly sharp voice came from outside, The emperor is here!

Qin Yining frowned upon hearing this.

It has already been this time. Even if there is a major incident outside, the emperor wants to inquire about the situation. He only needs to send someone he can trust. Why do he need to come out of the palace in person?

Today, my father and two uncles happened to be there. If they didn't come, what would they say if they were alone?

Obviously, Qin Huaiyuan, the second master and the third master also thought of this, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Several people got up to pick up the car.

Long live the emperor.

Welcome the Emperor!

Yuchi Yan wore a net towel on her head, dressed in regular clothes, and was wearing a pair of soft-soled boots that she wore indoors. Her face was flushed because she was walking in a hurry, and the lines on her brow were deeply wrinkled. came.

Entering the door, Yuchiyan didn't see anyone else at all, only Qin Yining in a snow-white folded gauze jacket and skirt, he anxiously supported with both hands: Xuansu, are you alright?

Qin Yining frowned, hurriedly stepped back and broke free from Yuchi Yan's warm hands, bowed his head and said, Thank you for your concern, the minister is fine.

Qin Huaiyuan, the second master, and the third master are all from here. Just looking at Qin Yining's undisguised admiration from the emperor's eyes, he knew in his heart that although Qin Yining was forced to practice, how could the emperor give up on Qin Yining? If Qin Yining had the heart to climb the dragon and the phoenix, I'm afraid it would have already happened.

The minister (caomin) sees the emperor. Qin Huaiyuan, the second master and the third master all gave great gifts.

Only then did Yuchiyan notice that there were other people in the room, she coughed awkwardly, and said, Be flat.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Yuchi Yan took a seat in the house and asked, I just returned to the palace when I heard that the people of the city were gathered here, and rushed over immediately. How is it? Are you not hurt?

Go back to the emperor, the ministers and daughters are fine. Qin Yining said respectfully.

Yuchi Yan nodded, That's good. You did a good job this time. I just asked the guard about the situation at the time, and what you said was very appropriate. It calmed the hearts of the people and avoided a major chaos. If the people rioted, Then you don't have to wait for the Da Zhou people to come in, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the capital.

The ministers and daughters are also in a hurry and follow their powers, so this is the only way.

Yuchi Yan saw her with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, dressed in white. Although she didn't see her graceful appearance with her own eyes, she could only imagine how out of place she was in front of people, and the love in her eyes almost turned into reality. Yes, and the voice is very soft.

Listen to the guard, are you going to set up an altar tomorrow to ask the sky?

Yes. Qin Yining deliberately ignored Yuchiyan's gentle tone.

You are the one who Tianjizi has figured out to protect the prosperity of the country. If you want to come, you can also contact the gods, right?

Qin Yining raised her head and caught Yuchi Yan's interested gaze.

How to answer his question at this time is very important so that he doesn't feel that she is taking advantage of the situation to be arrogant and achieve her goal.

Qin Yining said: Go back to the emperor, let's be honest, what is said about putting up an altar to ask the heavens, that's what the ministers and daughters deliberately said to delay the time.

Oh? The smile on the emperor's face deepened.

The second master and the third master were surprised.

Qin Yining said: Although the minister's daughter has been approved by Tian Jizi, it is just a matter of chance. The minister's daughter is just an ordinary little girl, how can she have such an exaggerated ability? Say my fate. Okay, I admit that Tian Jizi did say things like crazy. But I don't believe it myself if I say that I am a saint.

But you do have a very good fate, and you are someone who can protect the fortune of the country. If you say that you are not right now, wouldn't it be meaningless for me to call you Master Xuansu?

The meaning of the minister's practice here is to stabilize the hearts of the people. Could it be that the emperor also believed the rumors among the people and believed that the minister could communicate with the gods? If the minister really has such a good ability, it is better to directly ask the gods to help. Where are our big swallows?

She did not contrive, such a straightforward statement, greatly pleased Yuchi Yan.

After being suppressed for several days, she finally relaxed, and Yuchiyan smiled happily: Forget it, you can just say that in front of me. Don't say that when you go out.

Yes. Qin Yining saluted and said in a low voice, The rumors spread among the common people have already demonized the ministers. The ministers were also forced to be helpless, so they could only bite the bullet and fool around. There are so many people here today. Improper handling will lead to civil upheaval, and the ministers and daughters also give it a try with the determination to die.

Yeah. You're very smart and witty. Yuchiyan praised her heartily, and then asked, I don't know how you will deal with the people after you set up the altar tomorrow?

Qin Yining said without changing his face: The minister and daughter are just looking for a pretext to use a trick, the real solution to the food problem, shouldn't it be the emperor?

Yuchiyan was blocked by Qin Yining's questioning.

Yes, this is indeed what he should do.

Yuchiyan said embarrassedly: That's really my business, but how are you going to deal with the people tomorrow?

That's easy. Qin Yining smiled harmlessly, I told them that I have already told the emperor the method. The emperor will naturally decide, so that no matter what the emperor makes, it is in accordance with the will of God, the people. There will be no objection.

Yuchiyan was speechless for a while.

This is throwing the problem back to him.

But he couldn't get angry at Qin Yining, So I have to thank you?

This is what ministers and daughters should do, the emperor is not polite. Qin Yining lowered his head.

Yuchiyan looked at her and was speechless for a while, thinking that she was indeed Qin Taishi's daughter, and her temperament was exactly the same as Qin Taishi's.

Qin Aiqing, Ling Ai refuses to help me, this burden will fall on your shoulders.

Qin Huaiyuan replied in a low voice, I should do my best, but the emperor must have a solution.

Seeing that the emperor was going to talk to Qin Huaiyuan about serious matters, the second and third masters did not dare to listen to them, so they hurriedly and quietly retired.

Qin Yining also wanted to retire, but Yuchi Yan said, Xuansu stays.

That gentle tone made Qin Yining feel goosebumps all over the floor. She couldn't resist the decree, so she could only take a few steps back and stand behind Qin Huaiyuan.

The emperor said: The treasury is empty now. If you want to buy food again, you must have silver. Fortunately, Emperor Taizong issued treasure notes. I thought, it is better to have the Banknote Printing Bureau print a batch of treasure notes. The power is in hand. If we don't have the money, let's print a large batch, and we need to buy food to solve our immediate needs.

ps: When I wrote this chapter, I found that there was a typo in the chapter Chapter 242 Tax Grain. The treasure banknote was written as a silver note. Treasure banknotes and silver notes are two kinds of things, and treasure banknotes were the paper currency that replaced gold and silver at that time. A bank check is somewhat similar to a check. I don't know why my mind was confused. It has been revised, it does not affect the meaning of the text, hereby let me tell you ^_^
