Chapter 791 Knowing the general

Qin came out of the bedroom and wanted to go to the front yard, but she looked very bad.

After the news about Hakata Port in Japan was reported back, her father-in-law Yao Fengji had no food for two meals and didn't speak much.Qin suppressed her inner emotions and wanted to go to the kitchen to make some porridge for Yao Fengji.

She walked forward from a stone road, with the wall of the house on the left and the fence on the right, and this road formed a clamping path.When she first arrived at the corner, she suddenly heard someone talking behind the wall.

Someone vaguely said: Could it be the fateful husband?

When Qin heard this, he immediately stood there.

The person who just spoke should be Aunt Wang in the kitchen.

Soon another woman said in a voice: Don’t talk nonsense.He should be a maid in the inner house when he heard the sound. Of course, Qin knew him. The maid did some work of washing clothes, serving tea and water on weekdays.

Aunt Wang said in his voice: Who knows if you don’t say it?According to me, the young lady should really find a fortune teller with her birth date and horoscope.

The maid's voice said: Who dares to say such a thing?

Aunt Wang said: Sooner or later, someone said it.Li Maocai's family said that every time I see our young lady, she doesn't wear color and the jewelry she wears is different, and her words are very sour.Mr. Yao obeys the young lady. Now that she is in such a situation, can no one tell me?And she has been with the door for so long and her stomach has not moved yet. It would be great if she left it for the Yao family...

Qin's face turned pale and his hands were shaking.

But she still held back and thought to herself: If she went out to expose them at this time, the mansion would be full of chaos and troubles. Those unpleasant words may not be good when it comes to the table.

It’s better to keep it in mind for the time being and find an opportunity to deal with this Aunt Wang in the future!

Qin gritted his teeth, then turned around and walked back.

She sat in the bedroom for a while, suddenly got up and moved quickly. She went to the cabinet to find a blue silk dress with a good blue base, and then changed her clothes.

After a while, when the little maid brought by the Qin family came in, Qin asked the maid: Go and ask the butler to prepare a carriage for me, I want to go to the palace.

After getting ready, Qin took a carriage out.The accompanying housekeeper mentioned that he heard that he went to Bei'anmen and went north to Ximen to enter the palace, which was closer to the harem.So a team of people went to Bei'anmen.

It took a long time for the Qin family to enter the palace. They had to wait for the eunuchs to report and record the list. After obtaining permission, Qin family passed through the body search and other names, and was then taken into the palace by the eunuchs.

When he arrived at the Xianfei Palace, Qin saw his sister-in-law Yao Ji, and immediately knelt down to the ground and cried sadly.

Yao Ji sighed for a while.

Qin cried and said: I heard that the ship was burned in the port, and the people on the ship were also killed.My husband was not on the boat. Was he captured by the Japanese?

Yao Ji helped her up: No one knows the whereabouts of Yao Fang and others now, so we can only wait for news.The Japanese country has cut off contacts with the imperial court, and it is thousands of miles apart, so it is useless to be anxious.

Qin again begged: Sister, let me meet the emperor and ask the emperor to send someone to save him. He must have had no major trouble.

Yao Ji refused without hesitation: Yao Fang is my brother and his father's only son, and we are all worried about him.But don't bother the Lord like this.

Why?Qin said choked.

Yao Ji's expression was also very sad, but she didn't cry, but she seemed calm.

She looked at Qin for a moment and said: Because it's useless. The Japanese country is not under the jurisdiction of the court, and the people there do not obey the imperial edict. Otherwise, how could they dare to burn and kill the Ming envoy ship? If we force the priest, what else can we do besides trouble him?

Qin said in a daze: Can the emperor save anyone?

Yao Ji said: If there is really a way, we don’t need to ask for it. The emperor will naturally do it in terms of the contribution and affection of the Yao family; if something that cannot be done at all, it will still be useless no matter what.Besides, the war between the two countries is not a joke. During the Yongle Dynasty's campaign to conquer Annan, the Duke of the State was able to die in his post, and there were thousands of casualties on the battlefield.If you make things difficult for such private matters, there may not be a good result.

Qin's whole body became soft and she said with tears in her eyes: I'm blaming me for not knowing the general.

Yao Ji sighed and said: I know for you, it is equivalent to the sky falling. It doesn’t matter whether you know the general or not.But we have to know that this is not something that can be forced.Sister-in-law, go back and wait. I will find a way to speak in front of the saint as soon as possible.

At this moment, a female official hurried to the gate of the hall and said: Concubine Xian, the emperor has arrived!

Let's go to welcome the car first.Yao Ji glanced at Qin Shi, said only one sentence, and said nothing more.

When the two walked into a corridor in the courtyard, Qin saw a burly man wearing a red dragon suit and a black hat. She knew in her heart that this was the younger sister-in-law's man, the current emperor Zhu Gaoxu.

The two of them knelt on the road together and saluted the emperor.

Zhu Gaoxu walked over, bent down and helped Yao Ji up, then turned his head to look at Qin Shi: Everyone got up.

When Qin stood up, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu again and found that he was also looking at his face.Qin realized that his eyes were probably red, so he immediately lowered his head.

She is my concubine's sister-in-law Qin.Yao Ji's voice said.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said very briefly: Let's go into the house first.

The group returned to the palace where Yao Ji lived.Zhu Gaoxu sat down on a big chair and greeted Yao Ji and Qin Shi: Sit down and talk.Mrs. Yao, how can you please Weng Pingyi Hou (Yao Fengji)?

Qin Shi said: When I replied to the emperor, my husband has been worried recently and his meals have decreased, so he should be fine.

She remembered Yao Ji's words and said about Yao Fang's affairs only if the time is right.Qin did not want to cause trouble, and he endured not to cry in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu looked emotional and said: When I started a military campaign in Yunnan, the most important thing for hiring people was to be trustworthy. At that time, there were really too few military generals who could trust, and Pingyi Hou was one.Now the E Kingdom in the court is fair and safe, and we have to thank Pingyi Hou, otherwise there would be no place to hide.

Qin Shi didn't know why the emperor suddenly mentioned Yao Fengji. She had never heard of these things before, and suddenly she felt that the Yao family was really powerful.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: Yao Fang also helped me a lot back then.During those glorious years, I often stayed in the morning and it was really unforgettable.

Qin Shi didn't know what to say when she heard this.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: Yao Fang should not have any worries about her life.Mrs. Yao went back to comfort Pingyihou, telling him not to be too sad, and it is not time to be sad now.

Really?Qin asked hurriedly.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: Japan is currently playing games with the Ming Dynasty. This is not the first time they have done this. They have succeeded once during the Hongwu Dynasty.It is best to know the other party’s true intentions, bottom line, etc. as much as possible.Of course, Qian Xili and other civil and military officials in the court could not be killed casually. The Japanese must have wanted to take out useful things from their mouths.

Qin asked with concern: Will you be tortured?

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her: I'm afraid that the crime of living is inevitable. Now it's good that they can come back alive.

Qin hurriedly said: What the emperor said is right.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: The court cannot force Japan to submit to the hostages.Emperor Taizu threatened to conquer Japan, hoping that Japan would ban the Japanese pirates and hand over criminals suspected of espionage activities, but it did not work.So we can only use money to redeem people.

Before he knew it, Qin felt more and more hope.

Zhu Gaoxu's voice said: We cannot redeem people in the name of the court, otherwise the Japanese will feel that strange goods are affordable and put forward conditions that are more difficult for us to accept.Qian Xili was a Jinshi, and Yao Fang was a wealthy businessman, so we could try to convey messages to the Japanese and propose to redeem a group of people with five million cents in the name of the Qian and Yao families.This money is actually allocated by the palace government, and it is acceptable if the Japanese only have objections to the amount.

Qian Xili, Yao Fang and others were just going to negotiate and did nothing bad. If the Japanese kill, they will not have any effect. They lack copper coins to circulate, so it is very likely that they will succeed when exchanged with copper coins.

Qin hurriedly knelt down in front of the chair, kowtowed and choked and said: The great kindness of the emperor, I will never forget it.

Zhu Gaoxu made a false support action and said kindly: Get up quickly, this is something I am willing to do. If there is a solution, I will do my best.

Qin continued to worship: I thank the emperor for my kindness.

When she got up, she saw Yao Ji's gaze on Zhu Gaoxu's face, and she showed a grateful expression.Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly.

When Qin saw Zhu Gaoxu looking at Yao Ji's expression, he suddenly remembered that Yao Fang treated her, and there was a vague similarity.Qin could feel that Yao Ji was still very favored.

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he said: Concubine Xian finally talked to the people from her parents' home. I will come again tomorrow.

Qin immediately said: It was getting late, and I was unable to stay in the palace for a long time, so I asked for an order to say goodbye.

Yao Ji said: When my sister-in-law is free, she will come to the palace to meet again.If Yao Fang has any news, I will send the eunuch to my parents' home and tell my sister-in-law.

Qin thanked the emperor and the virtuous concubine again, and insisted on leaving.Yao Ji sent someone to send Qin out.

Qin walked out of Bei'anmen and got back on the carriage. For a moment, he felt much better than before, at least he really had hope.

Because the emperor was not talking about the scene, he explained the specific methods of how to rescue him very carefully, and it sounded very reliable; Qin could certainly tell the difference, and the emperor was taking this matter seriously.

After this experience, Qin also found that his reputation today was not very good and was purely misrepresented. In fact, he was very gentle to others and was not a bloodthirsty and violent warrior at all. As long as he had seen the emperor with his own eyes, he would understand that he was a very calm and decent wise ruler.
