To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 211 Volume 4 Subtracting Word Magnolia

Tang Hui said: "Master Tang from the Ministry of Industry sent some things, and put them in a box in the corner."

You Miao sighed, knowing that someone is wooing Tang Hui now, Tang Hui put away his sword and said, "I have to return those things sooner or later. Are you busy recently?"

"En." Knowing that people like Tang Hui don't need to talk around the corner, You Miao simply said, "Brother Tang, when you were working in Beijing, what did you think of the prince?"

Tang Hui remained silent.

You Miao didn't rush him, and sat directly opposite him, even more so, and the night light was dim.

After a long time, Tang Hui replied, "Your Highness treated me well back then."

"Yeah." You Miao was a little lost in thought, and just listened to it, but her mind didn't move much.

Tang Hui said again: "However, the Third Highness treats me better. You know me, if I didn't know anything about the government, I wouldn't have been sent to Yangzhou, and I would have been released for seven years."

You Miao said in a low voice: "Who do you think is more suitable to be emperor, he or the prince?"

Tang Hui was stunned, but You Miao said, "Brother Tang, although you and I are not often together, many times, we are closer than the ministers."

"Yes." Tang Hui laughed and said, "I knew you were a good person when you were in charge of the Gyeonggi Army. You are different from other adults. It is thanks to you that my brother is here today."

You Miao sighed, Tang Hui thought about the old love, and always felt that he had a letter from You Miao back then, recommending him to go to Beijing, so today, You Miao always felt that it was a blessing in disguise, if he hadn't recommended him back then Tang Hui would not let him carry such a heavy burden.Just imagine if Tang Hui had been in Yangzhou all the time, how could he be blind in both eyes and fall into such a situation?

Thinking about it seriously, You Miao always felt that he owed Tang Hui.

Tang Hui didn't know what You Miao was thinking, so he just replied, "I've also heard about the court affairs."

You Miao hummed, looking forward to Tang Hui's answer.

This time Tang Hui answered quickly: "The prince is a wise ruler of the country, there is no doubt about it."

You Miao's heart moved, and she finally understood.

When he was in Beijing that year, You Miao had little contact with the prince, and he didn't have much thought about him. The only impression he had was that the prince was a modest and personable person.

After returning to the south of the Yangtze River, everyone kept silent about the prince, and they probably didn't dare to mention it.However, Nie Dan and Tang Hui agreed that the crown prince is indeed a good ruler of the country.You Miao always felt that Zhao Chao had been close to the military system for so many years, and the military should always support him, but he didn't expect that he was completely wrong.

But thinking about it, Tang Hui led the Imperial Forest Army back then.If Tang Hui was not loyal to the prince, how could the prince rest assured that he would hand over the Imperial Forest Army to him?

You Miao looked at Tang Hui, Tang Hui was blind and couldn't see You Miao's face, but he could hear some sadness from his tone.However, Tang Hui continued: "But I still follow the Third Highness. No matter what anyone says, what General Nie thinks or does, his decision has nothing to do with me."

"I admire General Nie." Tang Hui said lightly, "He defends his family and the country, and he is an example of a soldier. Loyalty, courtesy, filial piety, knowing how to advance and retreat, and integrity, I can't do it."

You Miao breathed a sigh of relief. He asked so many questions just for Tang Hui's last sentence.He wants to know who the general who holds the Yangzhou garrison supports.With these words, I knew that Zhao Chao would not betray his relatives.

You Miao patted Tang Hui on the shoulder and said, "Thank you Brother Tang."

Tang Hui said lightly: "You're welcome." After finishing speaking, he still wiped his sword on his own.

You Miao didn't want to be too polite with him, and got up to say goodbye.

You Miao knew that Tang Hui was willing to express his opinion to him, which showed that he had trusted his life, otherwise, no matter who asked about this kind of thing, it would be impossible to say it.Supporting Nie Dan is bound to offend Zhao Chao.And supporting Zhao Chao will be accused of disloyalty.It's a dilemma.

That night, he wrote a long letter to Li Zhifeng, eloquently, informing him of the current situation in Maocheng in detail.I added a sentence at the end, I don't know when we will meet again, and thinking about him is already a bit sad.

When You Miao wrote that it was almost the time when the cock crowed, she put down her pen, feeling quite exhausted.There were many typos in the letter, and the letter was full of negative and gloomy emotions.He seldom felt like this in his life, and most of the letters to Li Zhifeng's family reported good news but not bad news.After pondering for a while, I wondered whether I should tear up the rewrite, but after much deliberation, it was all right, and I really didn’t have the strength to write another one.So he went out and told the boy to take him back to Jiangbo Villa, and sent Cheng Guangwu, the best martial artist, to the front line himself.

Another day later, as soon as the news of Zhao Chao cutting Nie Dan's military power spread, the civil officials inquired with each other, and finally learned that Nie Dan was stationed in Maocheng.And he lived in Youjia's restaurant, and sensitive people immediately guessed something from it.Some people speculated that You Miao might have saved Nie Dan. In fact, Zhao Chao was furious, and Nie Dan had nothing to rely on in the court. The only person who could make a difference was You Miao.It can be seen from this that perhaps You Miao and Nie Dan have reached an agreement and isolated Zhao Chao.

Some people guessed that maybe the situation was not that simple, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in You Miao's gourd.

For several days in a row, the government affairs hall was almost broken by the officials. Everyone wanted to come and listen to You Miao's tone, not only for Nie Dan's memorial, but also to win over You Miao.After all, when Sun Yu dies, You Miao will be in charge of the entire political affairs hall.

But You Miao has no intention of socializing, and this period of time has been the lowest point of his life.Li Zhifeng had been away from him for nearly a year, Nie Dan and Zhao Chao had a falling out, Sun Yu had a stroke and was lying on the hospital bed, and the government affairs in the political affairs hall were piled up...all of them made him burnt out.

What's even more strange is that Zhao Chao didn't summon You Miao anymore. For several days, Zhao Chao avoided this matter in the morning court.He didn't call You Miao into the imperial study again.You Miao originally wanted to ask Zhao Chao, but thought that Zhao Chao might have his own arrangements, so she stopped asking.

A few days later, You Miao came back from court and met Li Yan who had detoured to the imperial study.

Li Yan nodded, You Miao also nodded, and the two passed each other.

You Miao was thinking about the distribution of grain seeds for the opening of spring households. This was the second year after the New Deal, and the Yangzhou army returned to farm the fields, so they had to be redistributed.It would not cause conflicts with the tenants... But just as Li Yan walked over, You Miao suddenly and keenly sensed something.

"Wait." You Miao said.

Li Yan was about to leave, but was stopped by You Miao, turned around and said, "What?"

You Miao asked: "Are you going to the imperial study?"

Li Yanlue pondered for a while, nodded, and You Miao said: "The papers from the Ministry of Household Affairs have been pressed in the imperial study for three days, please help me urge His Majesty, just wait for him to review it."

Li Yan hummed, and said: "I should have forgotten it in a hurry, so, I won't have time to read it later, so I took the booklet and asked someone to send it to you."
