Chapter 454: Family

The spring breeze was precipitous, and it was already February, but these days were very cold. Du Xuechun had to put on a cloak and stood in the yard, watching the new buds on the tree.
Recently, it was an eventful season, and she is now restrained. She can't help Feng Xuan so much, and even caused him a lot of troubles, which really made her uneasy.
Mingying stood aside, saw her stunned, worried in her heart, and said: "Niang, you don't have to worry, it's just a rumor. Now Empress Defei is investigating this matter thoroughly. It will be a few days before the truth comes to light. The grievance of the empress."
"What's the point of fighting over and over." Du Xuechun shook his head helplessly. For this position, I don't know how many lives have to be trampled on. Perhaps this is the life of the people in the harem. Since stepping into the palace, it is no return. road.
No matter how clean and clear the eyes are, they will eventually turn into turbidity, and the innocent people in the harem are long gone.
"Sneezes!" Du Xuechun sneezed, tightening the cloak on his body, but refused to enter the house. It was useless to persuade Mingying in every possible way.
The room was so depressed, she didn't want to sit there and read the doctor's book stupidly. Although she could only go back and forth to those few places when she was not restrained, but now it's only two days, and she misses the imperial garden. The spring flowers are blooming.
Fortunately, Feng Xuanche came soon afterwards, still wearing court clothes, and he knew that he had come to Kunning Palace after the early court.
"What's the matter with the emperor? I saw that your face was blacker than the carbon in the kitchen from afar." Du Xuechun deliberately teased him. Since the Witch Gu incident, Feng Xuan Che's face was dark all day long without laughing. It looked like Du Xuechun was anxious, but couldn't think of a way to solve it for him.
"Huh." Feng Xuanche took Du Xuechun's hand and walked to the stone bench and sat down, snorted coldly, and said: "Du Heng is really getting more and more out of character. In the past, he was only secretly forming a party for private purposes. Do you really think I won’t do anything to him if you win over the important officials in the court?"
Not long after he ascended the throne, most of the most important officials in the court were old people who had worked for the first emperor. They were very critical of him, the little emperor, and Du Heng used his position as prime minister to make trouble for himself everywhere.
It seems that it is time to inject some new blood into the court, Feng Xuanche thought.
"The emperor, don't rush to get angry. Here is this piece of jade for you. You send someone to Chu's shop, contact Chu Junhe, and hand this letter to him." Du Xuechun took the piece of jade and letter that he had prepared. Give it to Feng Xuanche, then walked behind him, raised his hand and gently smoothed his frowning brows, and said: "The emperor is not a few years older than his concubine. Now the wrinkles between the brows are so deep. In a few years, I am afraid that I will become more old-fashioned."
Hearing this, Feng Xuan Che was stiff, Chun'er, is he too old?
That Chu Junhe, who was heard to be a gentleman with double crowns in the capital, actually broke the jade to Chun'er, what was his intention!
The more he thought about it, the more depressed, Feng Xuanche didn't speak at all. If he said the wrong thing and made Chun'er unhappy, he might be more disgusted. He, the emperor, was really embarrassed.
You can tell what Feng Xuanche is thinking at a glance. Du Xuechun understands him better than himself.
She patted Feng Xuanche's arm and lay down on his back. Seriously, she didn't have the queen's shelf, and said strangely: "Is the emperor thinking, this Chu Junhe, sending his concubine to his concubine, has a wolfish ambition?"
"Hmph, it was originally Chun'er, you must not interact with him too much."
Feng Xuanche was about to frown when he suddenly remembered that Du Xuechun thought he was old, and quickly resumed his expressionless expression, but his tone of voice still showed dissatisfaction with Chu Junhe, "I don't think he is enough to make things happen. I will send Xue Ning to get in touch with Chu Yunfeng, the father of Chu Junhe of the Chu family, so that we can solve the food issue as soon as possible."
"He saved Chu Junhe that day. He owed me a favor. Now it is a good opportunity for him to repay the favor, so as to avoid future involvement." Du Xuechun knew how to persuade Feng Xuan to be more subdued.
Sure enough, Feng Xuanche nodded as soon as he said this, and said, "That's fine."
Xue Ning handed the letter and broken jade to the shop of the Chu family, and he quickly got in touch with Chu Junhe. In the letter, Du Xuechun conveyed the meaning very clearly. The Chu family is the first of the four great families, and he will connect from it. , The problem is much easier to solve.
The royal family and aristocratic families have always had little contact with each other, and this matter has to be discussed with Chu Yunfeng.
When he returned home, Chu Junhe talked to Chu Yunfeng about the future of the dragon. After thinking about it for a moment, Chu Yunfeng nodded and said: "Not to mention that the queen empress once rescued you. It is kind to my Chu family, let alone the body. Dedicating a meager effort to the people of Dashun and the country was originally what you and I should do. There is nothing to hesitate about this matter."
Hearing that the emperor was going to meet with the family in person, it was enough to save face. Chu Yunfeng originally planned to go in person, but the emperor’s age was similar to that of Chu Junhe, and it must be better to get along with people of the same age, so it was just passed on to the other three families. According to the news, they agreed to meet at Zuixianlou that day.
"Cao Min has seen the emperor." The few people met with the emperor for the first time, and their attitude was not disrespectful. Feng Xuan Che also carefully looked at Chu Junhe. He is indeed a talent. If he can be used by the court, he must be able to achieve great things.
"Get up." Feng Xuanche waved his hand and motioned for a few people to sit down. His attitude was fairly kind. Although he could use other means to make the family contribute, the best way to do so was to make peace.
During the snow disaster last year, the Chu family took the lead in opening the warehouse to release grain, which relieved the court a lot of burden. Feng Xuanche had a good impression of the Chu family. If it weren't for Chu Junhe, the impression would have been even better.
"Come here today, I have an unrelenting request. Now the war in the Northwest is tight. The court has consumed a lot of manpower and material resources for this in the past two years. Coupled with the snow disaster, the Ministry of Households now cannot provide enough food and grass. For the time being, everyone, regardless of victory or defeat in the future, several of them will be my heroes."
Feng Xuanche didn't put on a high posture. The four great families combined would be worth more than half of Dashun. If they could really contribute, there would be no worries about the war in the Northwest, and the soldiers could fight the Hu nationality with all their strength.
General Shanhe is brave and good at fighting, but it is difficult for clever women to cook without rice. This is why the Hu people try their best to attack and burn grain and grass at night.
"The emperor can rest assured that we are all Dashun's people. Dashun needs it. I will wait for help. When we go back, we will prepare. Within three days, we will raise enough food and grass and transport it to the border." Chu Junhe said. When the business comes, I also put away the appearance of Boy Hua, who is the son of everyone, and his every move is full of atmosphere.
In this way, although Feng Xuan Che was still dissatisfied with the fact that he sent Du Xuechun broken jade at will, he could not fault it.
"I, for the Dashun people, thank you all." Feng Xuanche's words were truly sincere. If General Shanhe led his troops to defeat the Hu Clan, then the demon star's rumors would be self-defeating.
