Chapter 478, flooding in the south and drought in the north
When the queen first entered the palace, Xu Zhuying also accompanied her mother-in-law to ask for a request to enter the palace and met the queen. But at that time, the queen had to keep filial piety, and there was no chance to comfort her. The love between the two seems to be a little lighter than when they were in Zhongjing.
For this reason, Xu Zhuying was sad for a long time. Listening to her husband's persuasion today, she couldn't stop the tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry.
"When you and the queen are in the palace, you are handkerchiefs. Although you haven't been together for a long time, you also know that according to the queen's temperament, you will definitely not break your original love. ”
"In the future, our children, no matter how successful they are, just support the prince more, and they will not be in vain as a husband and queen, brother and sister, and they will not have a friendship with you. ”
Here Lu Chongwu comforted his wife, and in another house in the Lu Mansion, Shen Hanyan was also persuading Lu Chongyu.
Just received a letter from the queen yesterday, Lu Chongyu was worried in his heart, and he was busy taking care of his father, and he was a little in good spirits these days.
"Leaving Beijing that day, the crown prince can follow the emperor's will to send his grandfather and third uncle and mother on their last journey. The husband doesn't need to worry about the queen anymore. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to her husband, and then sat down.
"With the emperor and the crown prince, I'm not too worried about these things. It's just that the queen hasn't even been able to see her mother for the last time, and she must be seriously ill. Now that the queen is pregnant again, how can I not be in a hurry. ”
"The queen's temperament, you also know, report good news but not bad news, but the more this is the case, the more uneasy the husband is. ”
knew that it was useless to be in a hurry, but since his mother died of a serious illness, Lu Chongyu was even more worried about his sister.
"The queen's medical skills, even the envoy of the Qin Yuan of the Tai Hospital, are full of praise. Grandfather can last for more than half a year, relying on the queen's elixir, so the husband might as well write a letter to persuade the queen to want to open some. ”
"Hey, if the queen was willing to listen to persuasion, she would not have married the emperor in the first place. I will not go to the filial piety tomb to guard the tomb for three years. Hey!" Lu Chongyu held the tea and sighed again and again. Brother and sister for many years, how could he not understand this sister.
When my grandfather died, the queen came back to mourn, and the brother and sister also chatted a few words. Lu Ruxue told her brother that her soul escape had been cured.
In fact, Lu Chongyu would rather his sister not remember the past, so if she enters the palace like this, she can feel less bitter in her heart.
Each room in Huaiyuan Lufu has its own heart. Lu Ruxue sent a letter to her family, and she felt a little less uneasy and worried.
After midsummer, for several days, the emperor will only rest in Kunning Palace after nightfall, and there is no one in the front court in the day.
Lu Ruxue asked Bai Guang, the chief eunuch of the Central Palace, that the rain continued this summer, and the Yellow River was flooded, so that Kaifeng Mansion, four prefectures, and dozens of county towns were flooded, and the embankments broke in many places along the river, and tens of thousands of people were affected on both banks.
However, in several northern states, after the summer, there is no drop. Floods in the south and drought in the north, the emperor is discussing with the courtiers these days, how to control the river and calm the people, and release grain to relieve the disaster.
If the drought cannot be alleviated, the floods recede, and the victims cannot be resettled in time, not only will the emperor's new policy be polluted, but it will even cause the people to complain and shake the foundation of the country.
Fire and water are ruthless, and under natural disasters, mortals are so small. Lu Ruxue is even more worried that there will be a major epidemic after the catastrophe. I want to relieve Mu Xuanyang's worries, but I am afraid that I will have a reputation as a harem politician.
After thinking about it, he sent Bai Guang to invite the prince over. The idea in his heart was carefully discussed with his son. watched his son draw up a note, took it back to the East Palace, and discussed it with the masters, then he wrote a note and gave it to the emperor.
"Okay!" Seeing his son's recital, the emperor was overjoyed, "The prince can bow deeply, care about the people, and after a hundred years, the prince will succeed to the throne, and he can still protect my great Zhou." ”
Although the crown prince was praised by the emperor for this matter, he did not see a trace of joy, after all, he did not come up with this idea. But he promised his mother that he would not tell the emperor about it, so he had to receive a reward.
The emperor was happy, and took his son's recital and came to Kunning Palace, "Ruxue, you see, this is Ting'er's recital today." ”
It was mentioned in the recital that taking advantage of this natural disaster in the north and south, it was possible to raise donations from court officials and wealthy businessmen from all over the country, and first build a Huimin Department in various prefectures. ”
Looking at this, Ting'er also mentioned that in the Huimin Bureau, a medical center will be built for the poor and disaster-stricken people to see and treat them for free. ”
"Also, here, when it comes to the Huimin Bureau, which can take in orphans and young children after the disaster, and the Huimin Department will provide them with food, lodging, and training. Boys can learn some kung fu and become military households in the future. The girl was sent to the needlework bureau. ”
It is mentioned here that in addition to the resettlement of the victims, it is also necessary to organize the victims to participate in the construction of the city. ”
"And.... This is the first time Lu Ruxue has seen the emperor, and she is so excited because of the prince. not only pointed to the fold, explained to her little by little, and even gave a high evaluation.
"The crown prince is the prince of the country, and he should share the emperor's worries. If you can't do this little thing, it won't be in vain for the emperor's earnest teachings. ”
"Several masters around the prince are all well-educated people, but I am afraid that this twist and turn is not what the prince thinks. Lu Ruxue was happy in her heart, but she wouldn't say that.
"The queen has always been lenient on behalf of others, but she is strict with the prince. "Before the crown prince reached the crown, it was rare for him to take the initiative to share his father's worries. Mu Xuanyang also knew that his wife was happy in her heart, but she just didn't say it.
"There are many children who are loving mothers, and I don't want to teach a child who doesn't know the sufferings of the people. The emperor was happy, and Lu Ruxue laughed again.
"Xuanyang, although Ting'er's idea is good, but when I look at it, I still don't think about it comprehensively. Although fundraising is good, it cannot be a long-term plan, and if the Huimin Department wants to survive for a long time and benefit the people, I am afraid that it will have to be supported by land and business. ”
"The officials in the Agency, either for fame or profit, and for the benefit of the people, I am afraid that it is not so easy to choose. ”
Lu Ruxue didn't tell her son about this, because she was afraid that her son would think too thoroughly, but would be taken advantage of, saying that the prince was virtuous and wise, and that he would win the emperor wisely, causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
Those masters in the East Palace are also powerful ministers, and these things must be understood.
Although Lu Ruxue believed that Mu Xuanyang would never hurt their children, once they sat in that position, they would change more or less.
Rather than being taken advantage of, it is better to be an inexhaustible person, and sometimes it is better to be wrong than good.
"Ting'er has just listened to the government with me, and he can take the initiative to share my worries, although the matter is not comprehensive enough, but it is already commendable. Is the queen too harsh?"
"Yes, now the emperor is looking at the prince, but he is more satisfied than looking at the yellow-faced woman of the concubine. ”
"Ha~!ha~!The queen even eats the prince's vinegar. ”
"Yes, the concubines are either virtuous queens, or they like to compete for favor. If the emperor doesn't like it, he won't come in the future. ”
Since the emperor gave the emperor an edict to concubine Hui and other concubines, the queen has rarely joked with herself like this. Mu Xuanyang was happy in his heart and pulled his wife in his arms.
