In a flash, it was three months.

In the past three months, there have been two major incidents in the DPRK and China.

First, the land of Shu is dry, there is no rain for several months, and there is no harvest in the fields. Ah Yi and the elders of the cabinet urgently discussed countermeasures and issued an order for disaster relief and people. The response was timely, and it did not result in a situation where people were uprooted from their homes.

The other is related to the domain.

King Wei, who has been silent for many years, went on a note. In the compromise, he claimed that the feudal territory had been affected by the disaster, and the people of the feudal domain had no food and clothing, and implored the Son of Heaven to allocate silver for relief.

King Han followed closely.

The Han Domain's domain was not affected, but in recent years it has been quite depressed, and tax revenues are not as good as before. It is very reluctant to maintain the status quo, and it is really impossible to move out the silver and hand it over to the household department. I beg the Son of Heaven to forgive one or two clouds.

……

These two recitals were sent to the capital, first by several cabinet elders, and then read out at the small court meeting.

The ministers had their own plans in their hearts, but their faces were gloomy.

The prince of Wei, the prince of Han, changed his previous calm and calm, and all of them had a sad face. Arching his hand to play, he implored the prince to answer the invitation.

One of the two major feudal domains asked for tax reductions and exemptions, and the other asked the imperial court to allocate silver for relief.

Such a big thing, Ah Yi didn't know how to deal with it at all.

However, in the past few months, he has also learned to pretend. In front of all the courtiers, he replied unhurriedly: "This matter is very important, and I will report to my father when I go back, and my father will decide." ”

Speaking of the Son of Heaven, the ministers subconsciously glanced at each other.

For these three months, the Son of Heaven has not appeared.

After the prince of Wei, the prince of Han, touched the hard nail, he did not go to the Jiaofang Hall again.

It's Ah Yi, who often talks about Xiao Xu at the small court meeting. Or "My father's recent symptoms of drowsiness have eased slightly, and recovery is just around the corner", or "If I don't understand something, I will ask my godfather, and my father will teach me this" and so on.

Then, Zhengda Guangming confidently brought the indecidable twists and turns back to the Jiaofang Palace.

The ministers are not fools, and after a long time, they naturally guess what is going on. Ah Yi is using the excuse of asking his father for advice, but in fact, he is learning from Gu Guanning.

It's just that it's inconvenient to say this. Ah Yi has great respect for several elders and never makes mistakes. The folds brought back to the Jiaofang Hall were also read in a decent manner, and there was nothing out of order.

In this way, the ministers had to turn a blind eye and should not know.

The king of Wei and the king of Han had such a twist and turn, which showed the intention of temptation. It depends on the attitude of the Jiaofang Palace.

……

That night, the Jiaofang Palace.

Ah Yi frowned and folded the two copies.

Gu Wanning's expression did not move, but Gillian, who was standing beside her, snorted lightly with no resentment: "The two vassal kings deliberately found a twist from their heads to test their father and queen mother. ”

The Son of Heaven has been in the Jiaofang Hall and has never shown up. As time goes on, anyone will be suspicious.

The move of King Wei and King Han was quite a bit of a stone-throwing question.

Ah Yi frowned and sighed: "Why can't I see it?" It's just that their love is sincere, and the two imperial uncles are also full of sorrow and pleading. I can't say anything more. ”

Then, he looked at Gu Guanning again: "Dare to ask the queen mother, how should this matter be handled?"

Gu Guanning didn't answer and asked, "What do you think?"

In the past three months, when Ah Yi encountered difficulties, he would come to inquire. Gu Wanning was not in a hurry to tell him what to do, but more to guide him to think on his own.

Ah Yi thought for a while and said, "No matter what, the two vassal kings are on the wrong side and can't be ignored. You can use a procrastination to delay the matter first. ”

Gillian immediately retorted: "The Han Wang's domain asks for tax reductions and exemptions, and it doesn't hurt to delay." However, there was a famine in the domain of King Wei, and if he didn't allocate money in time to help, he didn't know how many people would die. ”

"There are priorities, and I don't think we can delay it. ”

"Take a step back. Even if there is an exaggeration in the performance of King Wei, the court must also show its due attitude. lest we fail to provide disaster relief and fall into the notorious reputation of not caring about the lives of the people!"

Ah Yi has always listened to persuasion, and felt that Gillian was reasonable, so he immediately said: "You are more thoughtful than me." ”

Gillian smiled: "The bystanders are clear." I really let me go to court every day, but I'm afraid I can't think about it carefully. ”

Gu Wanning listened to it, and there was a slight smile in his eyes.

Ah Yi has grown up and has the courage to take on heavy responsibilities.

Gillian has also grown up and has begun to know how to be humble and considerate of others.

"Queen Mother," the two siblings turned their heads together, with a hint of inquiry in their eyes: "What should I do?"

Gu Wanning's eyes flashed, and his expression was faint: "What Gillian said just now is right. King Han will ignore the folds for the time being, and the folds presented by King Wei will be approved tonight. The Ministry of Households was ordered to immediately allocate money for disaster relief. ”

"The imperial court sent Qin to the domain of King Wei to take charge of disaster relief. If any inaccuracies are found in the recital, he immediately orders someone to send a letter back to Beijing. ”

Ah Yi hesitated for a moment: "Who does the queen mother think she should send?"

Of course, the most important task of this Qin mission is not disaster relief, but to investigate whether the disaster in the Wei Wang's domain is true. Therefore, this person must be very cautious.

Gu Guanning glanced at Ah Yi: "Who do you think is the most suitable?"

Ah Yi pondered for a moment, opened his mouth and said, "How about Fu Zhongshu's order?"

Most of the important ministers such as the old Shangshu are frail for many years and are not suitable for long-distance travel. Fu Zhuo is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, in the prime of life, neat and shrewd, loyal and reliable, and is the most suitable candidate.

Gu Wanning nodded approvingly: "It is indeed appropriate for Fu Zhuo to go. It's just that Fu Zhuo's official position is a little lower. When he came to King Wei, he was afraid that King Wei would not put him in his eyes. ”

Ah Yi naturally answered: "Then I will give Fu Zhongshu a promotion to an official position." ”

Gu Guanning: "......"

Gu Wanning couldn't cry or laugh, and glared: "Nonsense!"

Gillian also quickly came to her senses, and a teasing smile appeared on her face: "Ah Yi, you haven't married your sister Hui yet, so you want to please your future father-in-law, it's really well-intentioned!"

Ah Yi blushed and bowed his head to admit his mistake: "I talk nonsense casually, please don't be angry." ”

Of course, Gu Wanning didn't move, and laughed in a low voice: "There must be a reason for being promoted. Fu Zhuo went to the Wei Wang's domain this time, if he could make meritorious contributions, his promotion would be a matter of course. No one else gossips about it. ”

"You're still young, and you have to learn a lot of things. ”

Ah Yi responded with a red face.

……

The children all retreated, and Gu Wanning had a moment of quietness.

Linlang quietly walked over: "Niangniang, it's not early, it's time to rest." ”

In order not to arouse suspicion, she has been staying in the same bedroom with "Xiao Xu" for the past few months. There is also a bed in the bedroom. At night, they are separated by screens.

"Xiao Xu" drank tranquilizing decoction every night and slept until dawn.

Rao is like this, Linglong and the others do not dare to be negligent, and the three of them take turns on duty every night to prevent accidents.

Gu Wanning hummed, got up and entered the bedroom.
