Xia Xingshen raised the corners of his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to take a look at the man behind the imperial case, and because he was worried about his identity, he finally only moved his eyebrows and lowered them respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know much about the events of the year, but what should be known, the minister still knows it in general."

He spoke slowly, his deep voice revealing a heavy sense of sadness.

Emperor Chu's cold and majestic face did not have obvious mood fluctuations, as if the events of the year had nothing to do with him.

He glanced at Xia Xingshen indifferently. The deep eyes that flickered with cold light seemed to turn meaningful, and seemed to reveal a little inexplicable ridicule.

After being silent for a long time, he said lukewarmly, "What do you think about the lack of embankments on the right side of the Wangjiang embankment?" ”

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, it is up to the officials of the Ministry of Industry to come up with a useful repair plan as soon as possible, and strive to repair and strengthen the embankment before the next flood."

"As for the flooded fertile land, we can reduce taxes for a certain period of time and distribute seeds free of charge, so that people can change to suitable crops according to the crop growth cycle to increase the harvest."

Xia Xing breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a while before continuing, "As for the people affected by the disaster, in addition to being reasonably resettled as soon as possible, we should also actively prevent the epidemic that may break out after the catastrophe. ”

The corners of Emperor Chu's mouth twitched, as if he vaguely pulled a playful smile.

"How can we actively prevent possible outbreaks? You know, judging from the recital presented by the state governor, there may have been an epidemic now. ”

"If this thing is not done well, the foundation of the entire Jiangnan may be destroyed; In more serious cases, it is very likely to endanger the country's capital. ”

Xia Xing thought silently for a while, and a faint hesitation seemed to flash in his eyes, but after the hesitation, he made a decision almost instantly.

Suddenly, he knelt down solemnly, "Please give your majesty an order to let the ministers go to Wangjiang to inspect the disaster." ”

Emperor Chu stared at him with deep eyes, and after a long time, he said in an emotional tone, "You, sometimes I really don't know what to say." ”

If people who don't know listen to this tone, they will definitely mistakenly think that this is a kind elder who has no choice but to indulge and love the younger generation.

Can realistic?

Xia Xingshen felt a chill in his heart, although when he made this decision, he had already expected Emperor Chu to react like this. But once he really faced it, he was still a little lost in his heart, and he would feel as uncomfortable as if he had been pulled by a blunt saw.

The largest Wangjiang embankment in the south of the Yangtze River lacks embankments, and it is very likely that there will be an outbreak ......, which he has known for a long time.

He thought that according to the efforts he had made over the years, the man after the imperial case would at least pretend to be resigned.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chu, who has never been willing to let people guess his thoughts, also has such a neat day as pushing the boat down the river.

"I have always seen your ability very clearly, you have to do a good job on this trip to Jiangnan." Emperor Chu seemed to have really integrated into the perspective of the kind elders at this moment, and he actually put down his shelf and instructed Xia Xing Shen Yinyin, "You must know that you are going to inspect on behalf of me, and you must stabilize the disaster situation in Jiangnan, especially not to let the epidemic run rampant." ”

"Minister, you must do your best to live up to Your Majesty's high expectations." Xia Xing bowed down, and there was no heat in his heart except for a piece of coolness.

Emperor Chu glanced at him, his eyes were cold and calm, "You are ready to prepare, let's set off in two days, the situation is urgent, you can start as soon as possible or stabilize the disaster situation as soon as possible." ”

"I, too, can be at ease as soon as possible."

"Yes, Lord's Order." Xia Xingshen bowed slightly, thanked him and stood up.

Emperor Chu watched the long indigo figure gradually fade out of sight, and his slightly narrowed eyes slowly flashed with a deep sparkle.

As soon as Xia Xingshen left the imperial study, Emperor Chu immediately urgently summoned several important ministers into the palace, and in addition, on the same day, he issued a holy decree to give Xia Xingshen the identity of "Qincha", and went to Wangjiang to inspect the disaster on his behalf.

Another day passed, and Xia Xingheng, who had disappeared out of thin air, suddenly appeared out of thin air again, although he shocked everyone, but fortunately he came back intact.

When asked where he had gone and who he had met, he could not answer.

Obviously, these days, he is only responsible for sleeping with his head covered.

Seeing that Xia Xingheng really came back safely, Xia Xingshen was relieved. Of course, the decree urging him to set off for Jiangnan also came down quickly.

Regardless of whether this trip to Jiangnan was a deep meaning, or a simple inspection on behalf of the sky, Xia Xingshen had no reason to stay any longer.

However, when he left Beijing, a strange thing happened.

That is, Mu Tianda, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who should have stayed honestly in the prison of Dali Temple, was quietly stuffed into his team.

What exactly does this mean by Emperor Chu? Or is it someone else's trick?

Xia Xingshen didn't have time to pursue it anymore, at this time he was already an arrow on the string and had to send it.

With the lively and lively conclusion of the tour of the right minister on behalf of the Son of Heaven, the capital seems to have returned to peace.

However, the Fengqi Palace in the high palace wall is a different scene.

"Niangniang, they have already passed through Prezhou, and they will pass a small town after walking fifty miles." In the palace of Nuoda, because the wall lamps swayed and refracted and intertwined with layers of fluctuating brilliance, this empty and lonely palace did not seem too lonely.

It's just that at this moment, Li Huaitian's tall figure is sitting straight and restrained under the queen's head, which makes people feel extremely discordant.

The queen slowly plucked the teacup, and her mood was obviously not bad. She was silent for a while, then squinted at Li Huaitian and asked lightly, "What does my brother want?" ”

"Niangniang, as far as the minister knows, that town is often infested with fierce bandits."

The queen gently put the teacup aside and glanced at him with a smile, "Brother, let's put your mind elsewhere, Your Majesty has high hopes for them." ”

Send Xia Xingshen and Mu Tianda to die?

No, since someone has already started this matter, why should she be in a hurry. Not only did you dirty your hands, but you also wasted unnecessary manpower and material resources, and what a stupid decision.

Li Huaitian caught a glimpse of the corners of her slightly sarcastic lips, and couldn't help frowning, and lowered his voice disapprovingly, "Niangniang, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again." ”

The queen is probably in a good mood recently, so she didn't get angry and deprecated for his doubts as usual, but instead swept away another look that seemed to be smiling, and asked with a very good temper, "Brother and Bengong have a good time, how do you think your martial arts go into battle to kill the enemy?" What if you go it alone with a martial arts master? ”

Li Huaitian furrowed his brows blankly, "Minister, I don't understand what Niangniang means?" ”

Even if he kills someone, he doesn't need to come forward to kill him personally, and ask him how high his martial arts are?

The queen glanced at him lightly, and didn't mean to solve his doubts, "It doesn't matter if you understand, or if you don't understand, in short, my brother shouldn't take this matter to heart anymore." ”

"Compared to this, there are more important things in this palace that need to be watched by your brother."

Li Huaitian saw that she was solemn, and his heart sank, "Please also ask the mother to command." ”

Compared to the earth-shaking outside, the Imperial Dome Hall inside the Temple of Heaven can be described as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Because Emperor Chu left the forbidden army to supervise, the food that was really sent to Mu Xiaofeng and them every day really strictly abided by the treatment of one steamed bun per meal.

In addition to being dizzy from hunger, Mu Xiaofeng's dizziness became more and more serious because he lowered his head for a long time to copy scriptures.

Although among the nine people who were brought out by the Yuankong Master, Mu Xiaofeng was not the only girl; However, this is not the only girl, but she is the only one with the worst health, because she has been very sad and sad for Zhao Ziyue's unexpected death recently.

This foundation is almost over because of grief, but it took a few months to barely get better, and who expected to suddenly encounter this kind of refugee-like treatment.

Five days, on the fifth day, she was almost at the limit. In addition to the symptoms of dizziness from time to time, other bad signs began to emerge gradually.

However, in order not to worry her brother Mu Shaoxuan, she insisted on pretending to be nothing.

However, on the seventh day, she could no longer hold on to her will.

After she finally lost her mind and fell down in the early morning, Mu Shaoxuan slowly realized that something was wrong.

However, Master Yuankong left a message, and all of them must work together to complete the complete transcription of the sutra within nine days and nine nights in order to resolve the ominous calamity caused by them in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.

Therefore, even if they saw Mu Xiaofeng fainting, except for Mu Shaoxuan and Qiu Tianshu who were worried and anxious, the others didn't care about her physical condition.

There are heavy guards outside, and Mu Shaoxuan naturally can't break out if he wants to.

However, this news finally spread because of Mu Shaoxuan's abnormal movements.

"Master," Zhang Hua's amiable face, which is always smiling, not only does not have a trace of a smile at this time, but is also very dignified and ugly. In particular, as far as he knew, after the master had stood facing the rockery for a quarter of an hour, his face was even heavier than the dark clouds in the sky.

But thinking of the seriousness of the matter, he didn't dare to hesitate or have the slightest idea of concealing it, "There was news from the Temple of Heaven just now. ”

The man who was standing almost like a perfect three-dimensional jade sculpture turned around quickly, his cold eyes raised slightly, and a cold eye flew over, "Say." ”

Zhang Hua was shocked, and barely swallowed his saliva to stabilize his mind. However, he didn't dare to raise his head to meet the terrible cold light from His Highness Iceberg's eyes, "Miss Mu was weak and couldn't bear the kind of high-intensity work in the Imperial Dome Palace, so she suddenly fainted. ”

The man in brocade clothes who was still standing in the pavilion like a jade pillar disappeared in the blink of an eye after Zhang Hua Balala poured out this string. Even Zhang Hua, who was standing outside the pavilion to report the news, only felt that it seemed to be a gust of wind just now.

Zhang blinked in disbelief, and at the same time opened his mouth wide in horror, "Master? ”
