Shang Dynasty Jizhou City Su Mansion

As the old saying goes, the snow is a good year, and only in the winter can the wheat be clothed in thick cotton clothes for the next year. The www.biquge.info Jizhou is different from previous years, and there has not been even a single snowflake in the whole winter.

As a prince, Su Hu has been negotiating this matter with the ministers for the past two months. The big and small sacrifices have been done countless times, but they have no effect at all.

Su Hu went back to the house, and the lady went out to greet him: "Master, don't worry, let's drink some gruel first!"

The lady took off her husband's robe and took him to the side hall with him.

A pair of sons of the Su family were already waiting in the hall.

Su has a pair of sons under his knees, the eldest son Su Quanzhong is fourteen years old, and the second daughter Su Daji is twelve years old.

Jizhou was originally a small place, barely among the eight hundred princes, Su Hu has always been diligent and thrifty, and there are only a few miscellaneous servants in the palace.

Usually the sundries are done by Mrs. Su and her own family, she quietly came to the center of the table and filled a bowl of gruel and turned around and handed it to her husband: "Master, you have to eat enough for big things, you can't starve your body!"

Su Hu nodded in embarrassment, took the gruel and drank it. At this time, he had mixed feelings in his heart, even if there was a natural disaster, he would still have something to eat, but if the drought continued, his people did not know how many people would starve to death.

A few months had passed, and he had no hope for the coming year's harvest.

"Hey, if the crops are really underharvested, I can only borrow grain from my friend Xibohou, Xibohou is benevolent, I hope he can lend me grain to tide over the difficulties!" Su Hu thought about his thoughts, and after only a few mouthfuls of porridge, he no longer had any appetite.

Mrs. is silent, her husband's heart hangs on the people, even the delicacies of the mountains and seas can't be eaten, let alone a few mouthfuls of gruel.

She gritted her teeth and proposed: "Master, when the concubine goes to the street to buy a home in the past few days, she can always hear some gossip, saying that the court has exhausted the strange people and defeated Yuan Futong in Beihai, and now the court is powerful, and there are many masters who have attained the Tao, why don't you repair a letter to ask the Son of Heaven for help?"

Mrs. Su's words are earnest, and she naturally hopes to find a way to solve the problem, so that the people of Jizhou can live a stable life, and the master can relax!

"The imperial court, the Son of Heaven, how can I forget the imperial court?" Su Hu's eyes lit up, what the little Jizhou City couldn't do, the imperial court might not be able to do.

As long as the king can sacrifice as the Son of Heaven, he will definitely be able to reach the heavens, and the gods will definitely attach importance to this matter, and the reason for the great drought in Jizhou will also come to light.

"Madame is really my virtuous nephew and helper, wake up the dreamer with a word, I will order to go down, let people prepare gifts, no letters, I will personally go to the court to meet the king!"

The people of Jizhou are looking forward to the rain day and night, how can he not pay attention to it? It is difficult to express the ardent expectations of the people in just one letter!

"Father, are you going to Chaoge City, can you take me with you for a long time?" Su Quanzhong hurriedly put down the food in his hand when he heard this, and said to his father coquettishly.

It is rumored that Chaoge City is extremely prosperous, and he wants to open his eyes!

Su Hu shook his head and did not agree to his son's request: "After I left, the dragons in Jizhou were leaderless, and it was inconvenient for your mother to come forward to interfere in the government affairs, so it was better for you to stay, discuss with the ministers in case of trouble, and be good at making claims!"

The son is already fourteen years old, and he should have a little contact with the government, so as not to be in a hurry when he takes charge of Jizhou in the future!

"Yes, the child takes the order!" The father had already made a decision, and Su Quanzhong naturally didn't dare to say more.

"Daddy, I also want to go to the court to see and see!" said twelve-year-old Su Daji, who obediently came to her father.

Su Hu agreed, her daughter has always been well-behaved, and it doesn't hurt to take her to the capital to see her.

"Master, I'm going to prepare your luggage!" Mrs. Su whispered, and she had to do the clothes for the father and daughter herself. In addition, the gifts for the royal family must also be handled by her!

However, it was said that the two women of the Su family took three hundred Jizhou elites and went straight to the court of the Shang King in a carriage, and arrived at Chaoge City in a few days.

Su Daji, the little girl, stared at the crowd of people coming and going without blinking, looking like a curious baby.

Su Hu was not in the mood to pay attention to the customs of Chaoge, so he hurriedly went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked Shang Rong to pass it on his behalf.

Shang Rong is not like Fei Zhong who only needs money in his eyes, and the old prime minister is also a person who cares about the world.

Di Xin was taken care of by Wen Taishi, and he has been diligent in political affairs, how could he not see, Shang Rong had just left the small yellow gate of the palace and a decree was transmitted: the king wanted to see the Marquis of Jizhou.

In the early dynasty of the Son of Heaven, two classes of civil and military were set up, and the officials worshiped and congratulated, and the Huangmen official said: "The Marquis of Jizhou congratulated outside the noon gate, waiting for the jade sound to fall!"

Su Hu adjusted the whole court clothes, shook the jade pendant gently, and went to the main hall under the guidance of the Huangmen official, and after worshipping Di Xin, he told him about the difficulties he encountered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers of the court and the central government began to discuss one after another, and some people agreed that the king should immediately sacrifice and pray for rain, and saving the people from fire and water was the top priority. There are also people who disagree, the princes are not virtuous, and the heavens will punish them, Su Hu does not reflect on his own mistakes but wants to pull the court into the water, and his heart can be punished!

The two sides of the dynasty were noisy, and Di Xin couldn't pay attention to it, so he shifted his gaze to Wen Taishi.

Wen Zhong didn't know the specific cause of the drought in Jizhou, so he naturally didn't dare to draw conclusions, so he could only suggest that the king send someone to find out the cause before making a conclusion!

Di Xin couldn't sacrifice to the heavens without permission, so he adopted Wen Taishi's suggestion. Let Su Hu stay in Chaoge first, and give him an answer another day.

The court did not directly agree to Su Hu's request, he walked out of the hall dejectedly, and was about to leave the palace when he was stopped by the Huangmen official: "Master Hou, Queen Jiang has a life, but let Ling Ai live in the palace to accompany the eldest princess!"

This is a way for the Son of Heaven to win over his courtiers, and letting Su Daji accompany Yin Ling to live in the palace is to show his favor for the Su family.

Since Empress Jiang has a life, how can Su Hu not obey? After returning to the residence, he will let the Huangmen official bring his daughter into the palace.

said that Su Daji lived with Yin Ling, and she soon found that this eldest sister was very good, and she did not have the shelf of the eldest princess at all.

Yin Ling's daily visit to the Taimiao Temple to worship Dazun also fell in her eyes. The eldest princess told Su Daji very clearly that as long as she sacrificed to the Great Venerable, all her wishes would come true.

"The believer Su Daji sincerely prayed to the Great Venerable, my father worries about state affairs every day, but the city of Jizhou has not fallen, and the people are lonely, begging the Great Zun to appear and rain in the city!" Su Daji secretly came to Yin Ling's back and bowed to the Taimiao with her, and kowtowed again and again.

"You can't do this, if you don't make sacrifices, how can you contact Dazun?" Yin Ling helped Su Daji up and said distressedly. (To be continued.) )
