. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co
In early spring and March, the ice and snow are beginning to melt, and a little new green has emerged on the outskirts of Tiandu City.
The venue of the Flower God Fair, which caused a sensation all over the country at the beginning, has now removed the curtains and formed a bazaar.
The large and small pavilions are scattered everywhere, and the square downstairs of the scarlet residence has been opened up as a place for ordinary people to set up stalls and trade.
Unlike the big set in Tiandu City, here, ordinary people don't need to pay any fees to set up stalls, and the only thing to do is to abide by the rules here.
Therefore, although the cold wind in early spring is steep, and the suburbs of Xicheng in the capital city on this day are always busy with traffic and the flow of people is prosperous.
At this moment, corresponding to the bustle on the outskirts of Xicheng is the tranquility of the imperial city of Tiandu City.
In a corner of the Tiandu Imperial City, there is a quiet palace, which is said to be the place where a royal family cultivated many years ago, where the pines and cypresses are evergreen and green all year round.
Unlike the golden splendor of the yellow tiles of the vermilion walls and yellow tiles of most of the temples in Tiandu City, this palace is made of blue bricks and white stones, which is much deeper and more introverted.
At this time, a team of palace maids stopped in front of the temple, and the female officer headed by looked at the top of the temple door, and the Taiji Hall with gold paint on a black background was a few big characters, and lowered her head again, standing silently beside the temple door.
A moment later, the dark red hall door creaked open a foot-wide gap, and a Tsing Yi attendant walked out, glanced at the female official at the door, and dragged out her tone: "Xie Siyao, why are you here in person today?" ”
The female officer bowed slightly: "Lord Shao has instructed to be careful, Xie Yaohuan does not dare to be careful." These medicinal materials were all inspected by Yaohuan himself. Please also ask your father-in-law to receive it. ”
mentioned the name of Yipin Shanggong, the waiter immediately put away his arrogant face, laughed with him, flattered, and called someone out from inside to check the medicine box one by one, and then took it in.
The waiter was outside and said with a smile: "Why does Lord Shao also care about this Taiji Hall now?" ”
The female official said lightly: "Although our Lord Shao is busy with affairs, but in which corner of this palace, her old man has not taken care of it?" ”
"That's, that's." The waiter said again and again: "Let's also be careful to wait, please Xie Siyao tell Master Shao." Don't dare not be careful. Otherwise, don't bother Lord Shao, even Lord Zhang from the Tai Hospital, and he can't spare the small one. ”
The female officer glanced faintly at the chamberlain. said casually: "What to do with the medicine residue last time?" ”
The chamberlain smiled and said, "Naturally, Lord Zhang brought it back for archiving." Xie Siyao rest assured. All of them came according to the rules of the Tai Hospital, and the minions didn't dare to make any mistakes. That's it, and added: "Xie Siyao is such a cold day." Sending medicine from afar, we should have invited Xie Siyao and my sisters to go in and sit and have a cup of tea, but our Taiji Hall rules are dead, and I hope Xie Siyao will bear with me. ”
The female officer snorted softly.
Outside the temple gate, two teams of people silently handed over things, and such a situation would happen every half a month. And what the situation in the Taiji Hall is, no one has ever known.
Not far from the Taiji Palace, is the Imperial Garden, because there is a lotus pond in the middle, if you come from the Imperial Garden, it will take a lot of effort. There is an observation deck next to the lotus pond, which is a good place to cool off in the summer, but it is a bit windier at this time.
At this moment, there were two people standing on the observation deck, and the spring breeze that was still cold made one of them red, wrapped in a crimson official coat, and the snow-white fox fur hood lined the person's skin pink and crystalline, and a pair of moist black eyes looked fixedly at the palace road of the Taiji Palace, where a silent mime was being staged.
The attendants in the team took the medicine box from the palace maid, and then entered a matching hall, and when they came out again, they changed a batch of empty medicine boxes in their hands, and then handed them back to the palace maids outside the palace gate.
The female official in front of the hall looked solemn, and the attendant nodded frequently and flattered.
"Still can't get in?" The woman on the observation deck looked disappointed,
Behind her stood a woman wearing a female official's palace robe, but she didn't wear a big hat, and she didn't show the slightest shrinkage when she stood in the wind, and said at this time: "Last time, Sixi ordered the staff to kill a few minions, and the door of this Taiji Hall became tighter and tighter. It's just that the things in this Taiji Hall are all handled by Zhang Huaijing himself, not only dispensing the medicine himself, but even keeping the medicine residue himself, if you want to poke out some eyebrows from it"
"Don't be in a hurry, being too hasty will make the emperor suspicious, and if the emperor knows that I care about that person, it will be even more impossible to let him go." The woman wrapped in a bucket turned around: "In this Tai Chi Palace, Zhang Huaijing doesn't let others interfere, I don't believe it, if he is too busy to care about his head and feet, he can still find someone to help!" ”
"What does the master mean?"
The woman smiled slightly, and a hint of cunning appeared on her delicate little face.
At this time, in the Zichen Hall, the emperor was a little anxious.
"Flooding? Why is it flooding again? Can't you make the embankment stronger? The emperor threw the fold in his hand to the feet of the Ministry of Works: "The silver allocated to water affairs every year is enough to build a few more imperial cities, but as soon as the spring flood arrives, it will break the embankment for me, this is the spring flood, and in the rainy season, is it going to flood half of my country!" ”
Zhao Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry had a cold sweat on his forehead, but he had nothing to say, the director of the Water Affairs Department had changed several times, and the embankment was getting worse and worse, and he was now in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do. This interlacing is like a mountain, and he doesn't understand this water affairs, but those who understand it solve the problem without seeing it.
The emperor above was still losing his temper, and Xia Xiangguo on the side said at this time: "Your Majesty, this group of water affairs departments is not doing well, so they should naturally be punished, but if this flood is not solved, it is a major event that will cause disaster to future generations, and I ask the emperor to calm his anger and make a ruling as soon as possible." ”
The emperor sneered: "Verdict, how do you let me decide, did I not give the silver, or did I not send troops?" Zhao Desheng, you listen to me, if something goes wrong again this time, you will go to the embankment by yourself, don't come back! ”
Zhao Shangshu responded with a bitter face, wiped his cold sweat and stepped aside.
At this time, some people came out to start playing, saying that it was on the northern border, and it was not very peaceful, and those barbarians had survived a bitter winter, and while the ice and snow had melted, they began to come out and plunder again.
The emperor held back his anger and said: "This group of barbarians, my army sent over, they scattered like a group of bugs, as soon as my army left, they gathered back, what a group of hateful bugs. ”
When a military general came out to ask for battle, the emperor remembered the large amount of silver applied for on the fold just now to repair the embankment for disaster relief, and his face was defeated. (To be continued......)
