Chapter 584 Ten sticks of incense
Externally, Qin Mo did not say that he was returning to Beijing, but instead went to sea to catch Kun.
On the way back, he felt restless.
"Master, has something happened in the capital?" Gao Yao couldn't help but ask.
"It's not clear yet." Qin Mo shook his head. Although he was far away in the Bohai Sea, he knew everything that happened in the capital.
But the two places are thousands of miles apart, and although newspapers are sent every day, the ones that reached him were already a few days ago.
Qin Mo actually already had some guesses in his mind.
But I am not sure. If this is the case, it will definitely be a major event that changes the pattern of Daqian.
Soon, the ship arrived in Beijing. Qin Mo's ship was nothing special, just an ordinary freight.
The nearly stranded Gyeonggi River was filled with densely packed ships.
There was drizzle in the sky. After more than two hundred days of drought, the capital finally received a rain.
Qin Mo only hopes that the rain can continue.
After landing, many people came out to welcome the falling rain.
"It's raining, it's finally raining!"
"This drought is finally over!"
The people looked up to the sky and looked at the rain that was gradually falling. Even though the rain was biting, they were full of hope.
Qin Mo and his party were wearing clothes made of Kun skin, and the rain hit them and they fell off.
Fang Shun did not return to Qintian Prison, mainly because he was afraid of exposing the whereabouts of his party.
Qin Mo didn't even return to the Duke of Qin's mansion.
Instead, he went directly to the Junguo Duke's Mansion.
Li Yulan received the news a few days ago and has been waiting at home.
She was sitting in front of the attic, and the cloak in her hand was almost untied.
This year has been full of partings, I just hope we won’t be separated again in the coming year.
The rain was falling heavily.
Li Yulan thought to herself that although the heavy rain was coming late, if Qin Mo came back today, it would be a double happiness!
Just as he was thinking about it, Hong Dafu hurried over and said, "Princess, the prince-in-law has returned home!"
Snap!
The red wine in Li Yulan's hand fell from her hand. She quickly went down to the attic and saw Qin Mo wiping his hair there.
Seeing the husband whom I longed for so much was right in front of me, I couldn't help but shed tears, "Lang Jun!"
"Third sister!"
Qin Mo stepped forward quickly, hugged Li Yulan, buried his face in his pink neck, smelled the fragrance of her body, and his floating heart calmed down.
The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and then Li Yulan realized that there was someone else next to him. He pushed Qin Mo gently, indicating for him to let go of her, and then said, "Master Fang, you're rude!"
Fang Shun nodded and said, "Princess, you're welcome!"
"Third Sister, we are all on our own. When we come back this time, Senior Sister will stay at our house!" Qin Mo said.
Fang Shuan blushed and explained: "This is also to better protect Miaoyun. If nothing happens, Xiaodao still has to go back to Qintian Prison."
Li Yulan nodded and quickly asked his servants to arrange a quiet courtyard for Fang Shun.
After doing this, Qin Mo didn't kiss Li Yulan, but called Xu Que over.
"For your humble position, please see the Governor!"
Qin Mo waved his hand, "Little Queque, how are things going in the northwest?"
"It was arranged by the remnants of the previous dynasty, and there was a major discovery in my humble position!" Xu Que said: "This White Lotus Sect is inextricably related to someone in the capital!"
Qin Mo dipped his hands in tea and wrote something on the slip of paper.
Xu Chuanmao nodded, "Yes!"
"Is the evidence conclusive?"
"The governor has been away from Beijing for several months, and the prince's power has gradually increased. Your Majesty has allowed him to approve memorials and take charge of affairs of the country, and several ministers in the East Palace have been transferred to the northwest.
Bailian originated from Tongwei County, but it was not Tongwei County at the beginning, but Taoyang County, and the magistrate of Taoyang County was the son of Wei Guogong!"
"Is Du Youwei?"
Qin Mo nodded, "You continue!"
"Although the drought in the northwest is severe, the people have no worries about food and clothing. His Majesty has exempted taxes and corvees for three years, and hundreds of thousands of refugees have moved out. They have no reason to rebel."
"Tell me something I don't know!" Qin Mo said.
"Your Majesty has given the crown prince full authority over the affairs of Gaoli. The generals in the capital wanted to fight, but the crown prince was too gentle. Although your Majesty didn't say anything, he was already displeased.
Ten days ago, Zhang Xi was escorted back to Tianjin and interrogated by His Majesty, also known as the Crown Prince. There was news that His Majesty would ask the Crown Prince to interrogate him severely.
However, the prince simply took away the title of Duke of Song Dynasty from Zhangxi and demoted him to the title of Duke of the County.
Xuanzhen County has confirmed that the earliest batch of sea salt flowed into Gaoli!"
"Go down first. Keep the news of my return secret for as long as you can!"
"I resign from my humble position!"
As soon as Xu Que left, Qin Mo came to the storytelling library.
Li Shilong is already waiting here.
Li Shilong was quite happy to see Qin Mo, but he didn't show it, "He's back!"
"Back!" Qin Mo took out the gift.
"what?"
"Ambergris!" Qin Mo opened the box. Inside was a fist-sized piece of white ambergris, the finest kind. In Daqian, this stuff is the top spice.
"Even if you have a conscience, I thought you would come empty-handed!"
"Father, you have no conscience when you say this. The good things from Bohai Bay are not given to you as soon as possible to enjoy?
I don’t have much of this ambergris myself, most of it is here!” Qin Mo snorted.
Li Shilong snorted, "Did you trick Prince Qi and his daughter into going to Bohai? I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
Qin Mo called out to Chong Tianqu, "They came here uninvited, but I still have to take time to accompany them every day. It's annoying to death. Father, you can't wrongly accuse a good person!"
"Forget it, for the sake of your meritorious service, I won't care about this." Li Shilong looked Qin Mo up and down, "Darker, thinner, and stronger!"
"Can it not be dark? The sun in Bohai Bay is so strong and the wind and sun are blowing. You haven't noticed that my skin is cracked in the summer!" Qin Mo said while pouring himself a cup of tea, and then
Sit comfortably in the armchair.
"Captain Prince Consort, you don't know that His Majesty has been talking about you every day for three days, for fear that you would not be able to eat or sleep well outside. If it weren't for the busy affairs in the court, His Majesty would have wanted to see you!" Gao Shilian said.
"Tch, that's nice to say. If you don't come here to be lazy, I will have to drop what I'm doing to accompany him when the time comes!"
"You brat, why don't you treat me like this?" Li Shilong gritted his teeth.
"If you just say it and don't practice the tricks, King Qi will know how to visit me. You don't even know that he writes letters every day just to ask about official business. You don't even know to ask if I am in good health and if I sleep soundly!"
"Do you still want me to make sacrifices for you and offer you some incense?" Li Shilong's eyes flashed with danger.
Qin Mo swallowed his saliva and said, "Father, that's not necessary. If you want to pay tribute, I will do it for you. One stick of incense is not enough, so I will give you ten sticks of incense!"
