Chapter 188 Urgent Letter from the Capital
This is Xu Miao's third year in Hanjia Village.
During these three years, Hanjia Village has developed from a small village with more than 40 households into the largest and richest village in northern Xinjiang.
In the summer, Hanjia Village can gather 30,000 to 40,000 people.
Most of the laborers in northern Xinjiang come to Hanjia Village to work.
In just one summer, you can earn enough to feed a family for a year.
Several workers who originally came to Hanjia Village to mine coal have now been able to buy their own houses in Dingzhou City.
Hanjia Village has found a way to improve the lives of the people in northern Xinjiang.
On a winter afternoon, Xu Miao was at home with nothing to do, reading a book in his hand.
Chun'er had already run to the home of the village chief Han to ask Mrs. Han for help in preparing dried vegetables for the winter.
Now, all the affairs of Hanjia Village are handled by Boss Han and his two brothers.
Village chief Han, along with Aunt Han and some older villagers from Hanjia Village, renovated the abandoned house halfway and it has now become an inn.
Village chief Han took Aunt Han to run the inn, which also fulfilled Aunt Han's dream of becoming a proprietress.
The old villagers, who had nothing to do at home, all helped out at the inn. They had no shortage of money, but just wanted something to do.
On such an afternoon, Zhou Jicheng hurriedly came on horseback.
As soon as he entered Xu Miao's compound, Zhou Jicheng hurriedly said to Xu Miao, "Ah Miao, it's an urgent letter from the Duke of the State from the capital."
"I don't know what happened in the capital. Please take a look at what this letter says."
While wiping the sweat from his face, Zhou Jicheng took out the urgent letter sent by Zhou Chenli from his pocket and handed it to Xu Miao.
When Xu Miao heard that it was an urgent letter from the capital, he didn't even bother to let Zhou Jicheng in. He hurriedly opened the letter and read it carefully.
Zhou Chenli did not explain the reason in the letter, but just wanted Xu Miao to receive the letter and return to the capital as soon as possible.
He also asked her to return to Beijing in a low profile.
Xu Miao held the letter, stared at Zhou Jicheng with wide eyes and asked: "Acheng, what can happen in the capital?"
"Why would the Duke be so anxious to get me back?"
Xu Miao couldn't figure out what Zhou Chenli needed her to do in Beijing.
If there is anything that Zhou Chenli cannot solve, she will have to travel a long way back.
Zhou Jicheng took the letter that Xu Miao handed to him and took a look at it, but he couldn't figure out why Zhou Chenli asked Xu Miao to return to the capital.
After thinking it over carefully, Zhou Jicheng said to Xu Miao, "Perhaps something happened that troubled the emperor's uncle, and the people in the capital couldn't take action, so they thought of asking you to go back."
After hearing this, Xu Miao also felt that what Zhou Jicheng said made sense. He asked Zhou Jicheng: "Acheng, will you come back to the capital with me?"
Something must have gone wrong in the capital, otherwise Zhou Chenli wouldn't have asked Xu Miao to travel all the way back.
Zhou Jicheng heard Xu Miao's question and said in embarrassment: "Without the emperor's summons, I can't just go back to the capital."
Zhou Jicheng was worried about Xu Miao going back to Beijing alone, but he had no other choice.
Without the emperor's summons, he really didn't dare to run back to the capital alone at this time.
Seeing that Zhou Jicheng was in trouble, Xu Miao did not ask any further questions.
He turned back and went into the house, took out some silver from the cabinet and put it on his body, then said to Zhou Jicheng: "Acheng, I will go to the home of the village chief Han to tell Chun'er that I will rush back to the capital now."
"Don't worry about what happened in the capital. Since the Duke urgently summoned me back, there must be someone who needs me."
"I'll take this opportunity to go back to the capital to visit my wife and my mother."
"Don't worry, Ah Cheng. I'll tell you if anything happens."
During the three years that Xu Miao had been in Northern Xinjiang, he also knew that General Liu and his men had spies in the capital. If he went to the capital, he could just contact the spies and pass the news back to Northern Xinjiang.
After listening to Xu Miao's words, Zhou Jicheng also felt that this was the only way now.
He told Xu Miao that they wanted to go to Dingzhou City to find General Liu.
Tell Xu Miao the spy's contact information.
The spies from the Northern Frontier in the capital have always been controlled by General Liu alone.
Zhou Jicheng and General Xiao He knew about the existence of this spy, but they still needed General Liu to tell them how to contact him.
Xu Miao brought Zhou Jicheng to the new home of Village Chief Han. When he saw Chun'er, he simply gave Chun'er a few words of advice, then rode with Zhou Jicheng to Dingzhou City.
When he met General Liu, Xu Miao showed Zhou Chenli's letter to General Liu.
"General, please tell me the contact information of that spy. If anything happens, I can send a message back to the Northern Frontier."
After reading Zhou Chenli's letter, General Liu couldn't think of what big thing could have happened in the capital.
Northern Xinjiang has always been paying close attention to the actions in the capital, but the spy has not sent back any special news.
But since Zhou Chenli was able to allow Xu Miao to come to Beijing in a low-key manner, he must have his reasons.
General Liu did not treat Xu Miao as an outsider. After years of contact, the general still recognized Xu Miao's character.
Apart from anything else, in these three years, Xu Miao has never cared about money.
There has never been a single mistake in the accounts for the past three years.
General Liu told Xu Miao the contact information of the spy in the capital, and asked Zhou Jicheng to send Xu Miao out of the dangerous grassland.
Xu Miaocai rode alone to the capital at any time of day or night.
Along the way, Xu Miao endured hardships and slept in the open air. It only took him more than ten days to appear in front of Zhou Chenli.
As soon as they met, Xu Miao, not caring about his own fatigue, hurriedly asked Zhou Chenli: "Duke, what big thing happened in the capital that you called me back from the Northern Frontier in such a hurry?"
Zhou Chenli didn't expect Xu Miao to return to the capital so soon.
Seeing Xu Miao asking, he told Xu Miao what he was worried about.
It turned out that there was a problem with the current emperor's youngest brother, Prince Rui.
This Prince Rui was three years older than the Crown Prince. He was the old emperor's posthumous son, and the current emperor had always treated him as his own son, with whom he had a very close relationship.
But this Prince Rui, as he grew older, began to become wild in his thoughts.
I don't know what he was thinking, but he wanted to secretly stage a mutiny.
Zhou Chenli's adviser accidentally learned about their conspiracy.
Zhou Chenli did not dare to publicize Prince Rui's plan to launch a mutiny.
I dare not even mention it to the current emperor.
The emperor has always been particularly caring towards Prince Rui, caring about him even more than his own son.
The counselor in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion discussed with Zhou Chenli and decided that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion should take some preventive measures in advance, so as not to wait until problems really occurred in the capital and then the Duke Dingguo's Mansion would be at a loss.
Zhou Chenli did not dare to make any big moves. He first called the two young masters back home and secretly told his two sons about Prince Rui.
Let them find a suitable reason to leave Beijing and hide for a while.
He also specifically warned them: "Don't mention this to your wives when you get home. If your in-laws find out, it will cause a big uproar."
"Just take care of yourselves. Prince Rui's matter is a hot potato. If you don't handle it well, you will be in trouble both inside and outside."
After hearing Zhou Chenli's words, the two young masters went home to prepare.
After a few days, the two young masters took their wives and children and hid outside.
