Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and when people are looking forward to the new year with joy, a series of bad news is sent to the palace, and sincerity does not let people have a good year.

Last night was Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the usual rules, the New Year had to be off for ten days, and all the yamen were deserted, and they would not handle official business, of course, there was no such thing as an inconspicuous person who would pick on trouble at this time, but this New Year's Day was different, Jiang You ordered people to summon each family before dawn, and went to the main hall to hold a court meeting.

Now that the civil and military officials are all standing in the hall, some of them have serious applications, and they are thoughtful, but most of them are still at a loss, raising their eyes to look at Jiang You, waiting for her to show them.

Jiang You's face was also solemn, and he gently knocked on Zhenshanhe before he said slowly: "I must know about sending Zhenguo Gong to the south for disaster relief half a month ago, but I only received the news today when it was dawn, the southern earth dragon turned over, Zhen Guogong was rushing in the mountains at that time, and now his whereabouts are unknown, what do you think Aiqing?" ”

The mood of the people next to him is not mentioned for the time being, but the second master Zhang is happy in his heart, he originally arranged manpower in the army accompanied by Zhenguogong, and he also wanted Zhenguogong to taste the pain of losing his son, but he didn't expect that now God will help him, so that he can get rid of his brother without effort.

A gossip official who had just obtained the right to report thought that he had caught a big deal, and hurriedly rushed in front of people and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of the snow disaster in the south is a matter of great importance, and if such a thing happens, it is all caused by the dereliction of duty of the Zhenguo Gong, please punish the Zhenguo Gong heavily!" ”

The civil official was born against Xungui, he thought that he had taken the handle of the Zhenguo Mansion, and his face showed a smug look, and he didn't pay attention to the foolish eyes of the officials around him.

Jiang You couldn't wait to ask someone to drag him out, what was this brain mixed up in front of the palace? She couldn't help but knock on Zhenshanhe, and sneered again and again: "Idiot, it's really stupid!" Let's not mention whether Zhen Guogong is alive or dead at this time, even if he is still alive, is it useful to punish Zhen Guogong at this time? Can the snow disaster in the south be solved? Tens of thousands of victims in the south are still hungry, you have to have time to think about this! ”

The official was dumbfounded, and the official standing next to him couldn't help but quietly move a few steps, keeping a distance from this stupid thing, Jiang You saw that none of them spoke, and just wanted to open his mouth to ask again, but saw Xue Yuan standing up and bowing down without opening his mouth: "Your Majesty, the minister just received a secret report from Dongchang." ”

Jiang You hurriedly said, "Please talk about the palm print." ”

Xue Yuan's face was calm, and he paused before he spoke: "The minister received a secret report, saying that many of the displaced people who received the disaster in Jinling, Quanzhou, and Fuzhou have already begun to riot, and even gathered the people with bad intentions. ”

This news made Jiang You and the officials below Qi Qi change their faces, if the snow disaster in the south is just a matter of one district and one city, now it has caused the people to rise. Such a catastrophe of righteousness, I am afraid that a little carelessness will be a major event that shakes the country's foundation, and Emperor Taizu was a peasant at the beginning. Although the current Great Qi Dynasty is not as unbearable as the previous dynasty, if there is such a war, I am afraid that it will also hurt my muscles and bones.

Her hand on the desk couldn't help but tighten, and she frowned and asked, "Why did it cause a riot. Catastrophe? The grain storage in the south is very abundant, and even if the relief grain brought by Zhenguo Gong did not arrive in time, it would not be cut off in half a month, forcing people to rebel. ”

Xue Yuan's face sank like water: "The government is not exempt from responsibility, and does not dare to open a warehouse to release grain, and the grain merchants are unkind and unjust, and take the opportunity to raise the price of grain." ”

Jiang You hated it in his heart, but at this time it was also not the time to deal with this group of corrupt officials, so he could only ask the people below: "Now that the Jiangnan incident is so big, don't you have any countermeasures?" ”

The people below looked at each other, and in the end, Li Xiangzhong stepped forward and raised his voice: "At the beginning, it was the prince of Zhenguo who was promoted by the minister, but now that such a big thing has happened, the minister is naturally responsible." He bowed down and continued: "The minister thinks that there are two things that are urgent at present, one is to allocate grain and grass to the south as much as possible, so as not to be dissatisfied with the disaster victims in Jiangnan Province and rebel, and the other is to use thunderous means to destroy the homeless people and bandits who dare to have bad intentions and shake the power of the heavens, so as to set an example and let others see the fate of those who dare to oppose the imperial court." ”

Jiang You thought about it carefully, the top priority was indeed these two, she couldn't help but bow her head, and then shook her head and sighed: "The officials forced the people to rebel, if they can get by, why should they embark on this road of no return." ”

Li Xiangzhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not be kind to women at this time, if you tolerate this outcast, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future." ”

Jiang You glanced at Xue Yuan, and when he saw him nodding, he said, "I'm right." She thought for a moment and then added, "I thought that the army sent out. . . The team and the team escorting the grain and grass did not have to go separately, but set off together to rush to the south. ”

The ministers below all nodded, and Jiang You asked again, "Who do you think is appropriate?" ”

The people below are silent again, and it is not difficult to find a brave and good fighter in the court, but escorting grain and grass is a delicate job, and you must be cautious, and if you are not careful, you will be responsible, and no one wants to be in the limelight. The Zhenguo Gong recommended by Li Xiangzhong has gone wrong, and it is difficult to speak at this time.

Jiang You knocked on the circle and saw that no one spoke, he was annoyed, and was about to forcibly order someone to go out, when he saw Xue Yuan turn his head sideways, bow to her and say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wang Ming, the squire of the military department, has always been diligent and has a lot of insight into the art of war, and he is worthy of the important task of clearing out the homeless people. After a slight pause, his gaze was quietly fixed on her face: "As for the person who transports grain and grass, he has chosen the post of overseer and personally went to the south to relieve the disaster. ”

Jiang You was shocked, and subconsciously retorted: "This matter is not allowed!" She couldn't think of any reason in a panic, so she could only say: "You are in an important position, if you leave, who will take care of the affairs of the celebrant and the East Factory?" ”

The civil officials below reacted at this time, and when they heard that this big evil star was finally going out of the capital, they were so happy that they hurriedly seconded the proposal, and said in a loud voice, 'The factory is talented, and this matter is none other than the factory father'.

Jiang You pursed his lips and made a cold face, Xue Yuan took a sip lightly, and the group tassel under his chin shook, he was not such a virtuous minister in the first place, the more unstable Jiangshan Sheji was, the more stable he sat in the position of the factory father, but who let her sit in this position now?

He bent down slightly, his eyes were filled with silent reassurance, and he said slowly: "The minister's hometown is in the south, and he has been to the south a few times over the years, so he understands the situation in the south. ”

As soon as he said this, he turned his head and turned his eyes, Ying Ying Qiubo handed it over, if Jiang You would have accepted it happily in the past, but at this time, he turned his head and said indifferently: "Since the head of the palm print is the Tao, then follow what the palm print says." ”

As she spoke, she announced her retreat from the dynasty and turned her head and did not go back to the ground. Xue Yuan returned to the East Ji Factory as usual, and ordered the same things that should be ordered, although the people below were busy but not flustered, he finished explaining in a while, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a figure in brocade standing at the door, and the golden dragon on his body was shining.

Xue Yuan smiled slightly, his moist lips curved in an arc, and stretched out his hands at her: "The emperor is here, let the ministers hug him." ”

Jiang You slapped his hand away: "Look at this formation, you were ready to leave last night?" Just waiting for me to be informed today? ”

Xue Yuan ignored her awkwardness, and forced her into his arms, the empty space in his arms was filled, and he sighed with satisfaction: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and people next to them are not at ease when they go to ministers, so it is better to go to their own hearts, besides, such a major event as a riot of homeless people, if no one instigates the minister, it will definitely not be believed, and others may not be able to find the leader." ”

Jiang You patted him: "No one else can do it, just you!" She raised her eyes and sneered: "I'm afraid that the news of the homeless riot came last night, but you didn't tell me if you pressed it, so leave you a night to prepare!" ”

Xue Yuan smiled at her without saying a word, Jiang You suddenly broke out of his arms, and looked depressed: "It's not bad for you to go, it's just that you hide it like this, I feel uncomfortable." ”

He was stunned, and then a little suddenly, he wanted to put his sweetheart under his wings for the rest of his life, and it was best not to be beaten by the wind and rain outside, but Jiang You may not be willing to do this, she is an energetic young beast, and she will not want to be protected by him for the rest of her life.

Xue Yuan held her hand, and crossed his fingers to clasp her: "The minister assures the emperor that the minister will not do this again, is it done?" ”

It was rare for him to show weakness, which made Jiang You's expression ease, but his expression was still cowardly: "There are still tens of thousands of victims waiting for help in the south, and it is not appropriate for me to be here with children, but," she said unhappily: "I can't bear you." ”

The person who was thinking about it was reluctant to say in his ear, his heart rippled round and round, his thin white hand held her sideburns, secretly measured her size, and said softly: "In these days when the minister is away, the emperor must eat and drink well, and when the minister comes back, the emperor can grow taller again." ”

Jiang You tucked the corners of his lips: "You are so wide, and I was not born by you." ”

He ignored her, and held her waist again: "It's better to be fatter and healthier, and it won't be easy to get sick in the future." ”

Jiang You rubbed his head on his chin: "What are you doing?" At this time, there is still a heart to think about this? ”

Xue Yuan sighed leisurely: "The emperor's face is tender, he is always small, and every time the emperor visits the ministers, the ministers don't dare to use too much wind. The month means to come. He raised his hand and stroked her face, muttering, "I guess I'll be able to talk when I come back this time." ”

Jiang You glanced at him with disdain: "Who is fortunate to you, isn't it all yourself" She coughed, waved her hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I want to ask you about business, when do you plan to leave?" ”

Xue Yuan followed with a straight look, lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "Just three days later, this matter should be sooner rather than later, three days of preparation time is enough." He looked at her, suddenly turned around and opened a hanging painting on the warm pavilion, under the painting was a flat wall, but he didn't know what he had done, suddenly a box popped up on the wall, he took it out and handed it to her: "This is the roster of Dongchang people, and the minister has already explained it, and the emperor can only tell him if he has anything." ”

Jiang You sighed, but his mood was even more depressed, and he opened his mouth a few times before saying, "You have to go on errands, I won't stop you, I just remember that An Sheng came back." She tilted her head and rubbed her face affectionately: "I will see you off on the day you leave." ”
