Chapter Seventy-Five: Losing the Heart

It is said that after Zhu Qiyu's cane beat Xiaofuzi that day, the front dynasty and the harem were calm for a month. On this day, there was news from the front www.biquge.info due to several days of continuous rain, the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River overflowed, washing away the crops and fields, the people were displaced, and a large number of victims flocked to the capital.

Zhu Qiyu was angry again in the court, and threw the front report in front of the ministers: "None of you people can come up with a way to deal with the flood? What do you feed your people for? ”

All the ministers lowered their heads, not knowing how to answer Zhu Qiyu's words. Zhu Qiyu looked at the group of ministers below who were standing in a daze, but couldn't give a useful suggestion, not only angry: "Get out!" Get out of here! Everyone goes back to think carefully about how to deal with the flood problem, and if you don't think well, don't come to the court tomorrow! ”

After speaking, Zhu Qiyu flicked his sleeves and left. "The emperor retreats!" Cao Jixiang saw that Zhu Qiyu was gone, and hurriedly ordered to retreat from the dynasty and quickly follow Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu walked all the way from the Jinluan Palace to the Heart Cultivation Palace, thinking about the reactions of the ministers along the way, he became more and more angry, and returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall to watch the music and be quiet for a while. Cao Jixiang took the teacup and put it in Zhu Qiyu's hand, Zhu Qiyu took a sip of the teacup, spit out the tea, and kicked Cao Jixiang: "Dog minion, you can't even make tea, look at what tea you make for me!" ”

Cao Jixiang was kicked to the ground by Zhu Qiyu, and when he heard Zhu Qiyu's words, he hurriedly picked up the teacup and retreated: "The slave will go and make another cup." ”

"No, you all go down." Zhu Qiyu looked at the palace people around him and commanded.

Cao Jixiang took the palace people down, and outside the door, Cao Jixiang's apprentice Xiao Xuanzi spoke softly: "Master, what's wrong with the emperor recently?" ”

Cao Jixiang glanced at Xiao Xuanzi and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." The emperor has been worrying a lot lately. If you don't want to be beaten, shut up. When Xiao Xuanzi heard Cao Jixiang's words, he hurriedly shut up.

"Cao Jixiang, you get me in!" After a while, Zhu Qiyu's voice came from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Your Majesty, what do you have to say?" Cao Jixiang hurriedly entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, saw Zhu Qiyu's anger, knelt on the ground, lowered his head and asked.

"I will go to Tang Guifei tonight and tell Weiyang Palace to prepare." Zhu Qiyu wanted to listen to Tang Caiping's pipa music, and so far, only Tang Caiping's pipa music could relieve his depressed mood.

"Yes. The minions are going to prepare. Cao Jixiang said that he was about to retreat. By the way, I don't need you to serve tonight, you can rest early. Zhu Qiyu remembered that he had just kicked Cao Jixiang. Yes, the slave Emperor Xie. Cao Jixiang saluted Zhu Qiyu and withdrew.

It was night, in Weiyang Palace, Tang Caiping heard that Zhu Qiyu was coming tonight, and he was ready to sing and dance early, Zhu Qiyu thought about the troubles of the previous dynasty, looked at the song and dance in front of him, and left the troubles behind.

Cao Jixiang didn't need him to serve Zhu Qiyu today, so he brought a pot of wine and went to the Shen Criminal Division to chat with Xu Youzhen.

"My lord, Mr. Cao is here." At this time, Xu Youzhen was hiding in the study to read a book without incident, and when he heard Cao Jixiang coming, he thought that there was someone in the palace who was going to be punished, so he hurriedly changed into an official uniform and came out to meet him.

Cao Jixiang saw Xu Youzhen, who had changed into an official uniform, and immediately understood what Xu Youzhen was thinking, and couldn't help but sigh that Zhu Qiyu made the people of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military panicked, and raised his hand to help Xu Youzhen, who was about to salute: "Don't worry, my lord, I came here today, just to talk to the adult, and no one is going to be punished today." ”

Xu Youzhen wiped a handful of sweat: "That father-in-law will wait for a while, let Xu go and change his clothes first, and then talk to the adults to appreciate the moon." Oh, it's not too early, how about we go to my house for a drink or two? ”

"Okay, it's rare for the miscellaneous family to take a break from work, and when I go home with adults today, I won't get drunk or return!"

"Okay, good, Brother Shi Heng will also come to my house in a while, and the three of us will have a good drink." Xu Youzhen said with a smile.

"Shi Heng? But Shi Heng, the Marquis of Wuqing, who had just been crowned the crown prince and prince? ”

In the Huxin Pavilion of Xufu, three people sit around the table. Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang did not have any personal relationship in private, so they had to be polite. Although this Shi Heng was crowned the crown prince and the prince, and also the marquis, in the Ming Dynasty, where the civil officials were in power, he had to suffer from some idleness in the political field. And Xu Youzhen, who has been snubbed since Zhu Qiyu's registration, the three of them suddenly had the feeling of wanting to sympathize with each other, complaining to each other with bitter water in their stomachs, scalding pot after pot of hot wine, and before they knew it, it was dawn. Cao Jixiang missed the time to return to the palace because he was drunk, and when he arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, it happened that Zhu Qiyu was furious.

"What about Cao Jixiang? Someone died? I let him rest last night, did he really take himself seriously? If he doesn't want to be the boss, don't be it. Cao Jixiang, who was standing outside the door, was still hesitant to enter the door, and when he heard Zhu Qiyu's words, he hurriedly entered the door.

"Slaves see the emperor." Cao Jixiang knew that he had made a mistake, and he knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.

"You still know to come back? What time has it been? Zhu Qiyu walked in front of Cao Jixiang and stared condescendingly. What does it taste like? Did you drink? After a night of drunkenness, Cao Jixiang, you are becoming more and more capable. Zhu Qiyu smelled the smell of wine on Cao Jixiang's body, and understood why Cao Jixiang didn't return last night, and why he didn't see anyone today.

"The slave deserves to die, I hope the emperor will forgive the sin." Cao Jixiang pleaded on the ground. "Come on, drag this dog slave down, hit the top ten boards, and deduct half a year's silver." Zhu Qiyu didn't look at Cao Jixiang who was lying on the ground, and ordered.

The punishment of Cao Jixiang and Xiaofuzi reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Sun, who angrily slapped the table and said that Zhu Qiyu did not understand the way of the emperor and was too cruel.

Empress Dowager Sun called Liang Fang: "Liang Fang, do you know that the emperor severely punished Cao Jixiang and Nangong's little Fuzi?" Liang Fang nodded in understanding. The emperor is so brutal, how can he be the emperor? How can He De become the lord of this world? Empress Dowager Sun thought for a moment, "Go, you take some pain ointment and give it to Cao Jixiang, and by the way, mention the emperor's cruelty to him." After that...... "Empress Dowager Sun didn't say more, and gave Liang Fang a look, and Liang Fang said that she knew."

Liang Fang turned out that the bruising and blood stasis ointment given by the Empress Dowager Sun went to Cao Jixiang's place. Outside Cao Jixiang's door, I heard Cao Jixiang's pig-like scream in the house: "Little Xuanzi, you are light." ”

"Master, I'll be light, but don't move." Xiao Xuanzi took the ointment and didn't know how to start applying it to Cao Jixiang.

"You little bunny, you light. Ouch, it hurts. Cao Jixiang was so hurt that tears were about to come out.

"Yo, is Gonggong Cao killing pigs?" Liang Fang took the ointment and walked into the room. "Father-in-law Liang, what kind of wind blew you here?" Cao Jixiang was lying on his stomach, heard that the voice was Liang Fang, and spoke.

"The Holy Empress Dowager asked our family to send you some ointment, and by the way, take a look at your injuries." Liang Fang took out the blood stasis cream from his arms and handed it to Cao Jixiang.
