The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 8
Just as Yun Ruochen expected, after Prince Jing's paper was submitted to the cabinet, a dispute broke out among the elders.

King Jing's teacher, Master Gu Yuan, was not the first assistant in the cabinet, not even the second assistant, but only ranked third in the cabinet.Although he insisted on recommending Prince Jing's plan, the other elders who valued "tradition" and "stability"—to put it bluntly, they were afraid of trouble and trouble—did not agree.

There are currently five great scholars in the cabinet, which are the five most important ministers of the Qing Dynasty.The five elders, six ministers, ministers and several local governors constituted the top of the pyramid of the ruling class in the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, the one above these bigwigs is the old emperor Yuan Qi who has played the emperor's mind to the extreme and has been sitting on the dragon chair for more than 30 years.

Just looking at the year name he gave himself is arrogant enough... Yuan Qi, except for the founder of the country, most people dare not use this kind of year name. They just use it like this, and they don’t change it for 35 years.

Regarding Prince Jing's letter, the cabinet was full of debates, and when it came to the court, the officials were also discussing it.

Prince Jing's original goal had been achieved, and it was the first time in so many years that he had received so much attention.Although his plan was overwhelmingly criticized as "inapplicable", it is better to be controversial than to be forgotten.

His Highness Prince Jing was very excited, but Gu Yuan's mentality was not as good as his.Gu Ge always sincerely wanted to carry out this plan to provide disaster relief, but he couldn't support it alone, and the few companions he had were not high-status in the court, so arguing with them would not help at all.

Due to the special status of Prince Jing, the ministers could only "respectfully invite the Holy Judgment" and let Emperor Yuanqi judge.But Emperor Yuan Qi remained silent, neither saying he supported King Cheng's proposal, nor expressing his agreement with King Jing's plan.

Emperor Yuan Qi believed in Taoism, known as "government by doing nothing", and generally only worked in the inner court, and would not easily go to court.In fact, everyone knows that the old emperor put all his energy into cultivating Taoism and longevity.

But there are very few real Qimen warlocks who are willing to work hard for the royal family.The alchemists who gathered around Emperor Yuan Qi were just the ordinary ones in the Taoist sect.

The king of Chu has a thin waist, and many people starved to death in the palace.The emperor was fond of cultivating Taoism, so the people around him naturally had to pay attention to these things all the time.Even Mr. Ping Yuhan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, often had to accompany the old emperor to "test pills" in the abode in the palace.

"Father, are you still worried about disaster relief?"

Yun Ruochen found that in the past few days, Prince Jing's brows had never been untied, and he always looked preoccupied.Even when eating, it seems like I don’t know what to eat. I stopped chopsticks after eating only a few vegetables.

Yun Ruochen himself is "never tired of fine food and fine food".Although she lived with her master in her previous life since she was a child, her old Taoist master didn't pay much attention to anything in life, but took food more seriously than the sky.Even if it is a plate of bean sprouts or a piece of fermented bean curd, we must try our best to make the best taste.

People in the world often misunderstand magicians who practice Taoism, and always think of them as the same type of people as ascetic monks.In fact, according to different sects, their lifestyles also have many differences.The school like Yun Ruochen is very involved in the world, and they emphasize the experience of the world, and the enjoyment of food is of course indispensable.

Therefore, Yun Ruochen's mouth was raised very tricky since he was a child, and he has high requirements for food.It's not that she insists on eating delicacies from mountains and seas, but she still pursues exquisite cooking... But then again, she is also very adaptable to the environment. If she needs to eat simple food, she can also eat it to replenish her strength.

After coming to this world, since she was reincarnated in the body of the princess, eating and drinking well will never be a problem.No matter how much Prince Jing is out of favor, the Prince's enjoyment of life is still guaranteed.

But Yun Ruochen improved her food according to her personal preferences and eating habits, such as drinking a cup of calming tea when she wakes up in the morning.Another example is steaming fish. She asked the kitchen to use clear spring water to steam for fifteen minutes and then stop the fire. She also had to sprinkle thin slices of green onion and ginger.

She dined with Prince Jing and his daughter every day. Prince Jing also liked the recipes that his daughter had improved recently.

But today, King Jing faced a table full of exquisite and delicious dishes, but he had no desire to eat chopsticks at all. Yun Ruochen knew that his mood at the moment was definitely clouded.

"Um……"

Prince Jing smiled wryly, waved his hands to let his dishes be cleaned up, and went to the inner study without saying anything to his daughter.

Yun Ruochen heard that he had also called the two staff members, so he sneaked in to eavesdrop again, and found that the current situation of his father was much more difficult than he imagined.

At the beginning, Prince Jing didn't have any hope that his plan would be passed, but now the ministers' rebuttals one after another still make him feel a lot of pressure.Who likes to be criticized, not a born masochist.No matter how good-tempered Prince Jing was, he was eager to be recognized by others. He never expected to be hit like this after a high-profile one.

King Jing and his staff complained that the high-ranking officials in the capital did not agree to evacuate them even though groups of victims outside the city starved to death and fell sick.It's a big summer now, if the people who die of illness are not dealt with in time, it will be very troublesome to start a big plague.

"Don't worry, father, you can bear it for two more days."

Thinking of what he told Nie Shen and Ye Shenyan to do, Yun Ruochen said to his father silently in his heart.

That night, Ye Shenyan, who had received Yun Ruochen's secret order to sneak to the back door in advance, was surprised to find that the princess was already there waiting for him.

"County, princess, you are..."

Ye Shenyan was so frightened that he could hardly speak.I saw Yun Ruochen tied his hair into a simple braid and put it on his head, wearing the light clothes of a thick maidservant, and carrying a small bundle in his hand.

The little princess asked him to come to the back door in the first watch, but he didn't explain clearly what he was going to do.Look at her posture... Could it be that he wants him to take her out!

This will not work!

Ye Shenyan said that he was not afraid of walking on the mountain in the middle of the night, but he never dared to take the delicate little princess out.In case something goes wrong, do I still want to live?That Steward Nie will definitely tear himself apart!

"Stop talking nonsense."

Yun Ruochen glanced at him coldly.She didn't want to waste time on unnecessary talk, if she hadn't needed an assistant to do things for her tonight, and she didn't have anyone suitable for her, she wouldn't have asked such a child who didn't know anything to help.

But she knew that Ye Shenyan was quite familiar with the surrounding terrain and roads, and having him lead the way would save her a lot of effort.

Shocked by Yun Ruochen's icy cold eyes, Ye Shenyan was speechless for a while, and his mind went blank for a moment.When he came back to his senses, he found that the back door, which was usually tightly locked, had already opened wide at some point, and the little princess had gone out!
Strange, how did this door open?Didn't you say that there are three locks?
Also, usually there are guards here every two quarters of an hour to patrol, why is there no sound of people at this moment...

Naturally, he didn't know that these were the effects achieved by Yun Ruochen using simple techniques, and he only vaguely felt that the encounter tonight might be even more bizarre than he imagined.

With Yun Ruochen around, they walked through the bamboo grove lined with the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation without much effort, and soon came to the foot of the mountain.Ye Shenyan was once again surprised to find that there was a tall brown horse tethered at the intersection at the foot of the mountain!

"What are you doing in a daze, come up."

Yun Ruochen got on the horse nimbly, and impatiently called Ye Shenyan to come up.Ye Shenyan looked at her stupidly: "Princess, you...you want me to ride a horse with you?"

"I told you to stop talking nonsense! Hurry up!"

I usually see this kid is very clever, why is he always procrastinating tonight!Yun Ruochen stared at him impatiently, Ye Shenyan didn't dare to say anything more, obediently grabbed the whip that Yun Ruochen handed over, hurriedly climbed onto the horse's back, and sat behind Yun Ruochen.

A faint fragrance penetrated into the tip of his nose, Ye Shenyan felt that his whole body was stiff, and he didn't know how to move his hands and feet.

He was originally the most unrestrained little beggar, even laughing and laughing freely in front of the servants and stewards in the villa, but every time he faced Princess Huarong, he felt so nervous that his heart would jump out of his throat.

The Princess Mingming is so kind, but just like those times when she got serious, she would feel an invisible sense of coercion... He couldn't help being obedient and obedient, and he couldn't show any resistance in front of her.

She's just a little girl her own age!How can it give people such a strong sense of oppression...

Ye Shenyan couldn't figure it out at all, just like he didn't understand why Xiaojun mainly ran out in the middle of the night.She looks so serious, doesn't she seem to be out to play?

Yun Ruochen frowned and reluctantly rode forward, feeling extremely dissatisfied with his weak and delicate body.She knew how to ride a horse in her previous life, and she lived on the grassland with the old Taoist master for some time.That's why she ordered Nie Shen to prepare the horse here in advance, but she obviously overestimated herself... especially with another person behind her!

"Hold on to the saddle!"

Yun Ruochen felt that Ye Shenyan behind him was staggering and couldn't sit still, so he really wanted to just kick him off.Get in the way, alas!It's decided, after this matter is resolved, it's time for her to train Ye Shenyan well!
Thirty feet away from Yun Ruochen and Ye Shenyan, Nie Shen stared at the galloping horses in front of him like a falcon, following them behind them like a shadow.

　Thanks to good friends such as Xiaobing Carrying the Flag, Chuncuner, He Changzai, Xiao Guanlan, Drifting with the Flow, Xiaoyao, Runaway, Wang Yanyan, Xiaolang, Yexi Chuxiao, etc. Qiangwei was so moved that she burst into tears. !
