It was already dark when Zhang Zuolun returned to Zhang's mansion, and Zhang Tianhao asked him where he went.

Knowing that his father didn't like him to be with Bai Miaoqi, Zhang Zuolun didn't plan to say it, but when his entourage said that he leaked his mouth, he had no choice but to say it truthfully.

"I went to the city with Miss Ling and Miss Bai to provide disaster relief."

"That's all?" Zhang Tianhao asked, "What is the reaction of the victims?" ”

Zhang Zuolun said impatiently: "Thank us, say it is a living bodhisattva." ”

Zhang Tianhao suddenly laughed: "Living Bodhisattva, living Bodhisattva is good, worthy of being my son, Gong Chengyan, that old guy, because of the unfavorable work of Shi Nan, he became a sinner in the mouth of the people, and now in just a few days, he has become famous, I don't see it in many days, and the emperor has to reinstate him again." ”

Zhang Zuolun knew that he had linked disaster relief with his reputation again, and he wanted to block him, so he sneered: "The living bodhisattva I am talking about is the elder Tsuji of the Eight Sound Kingdom, who not only gave his own land to those disaster victims, but also did not charge a cent of rent and taxes. ”

Zhang Tianhao's eyes lit up, "Elder of the Eight Sound Kingdom? ”

Zhang Zuolun didn't know what he was thinking, but he also guessed that it must not be a good idea, so he immediately lost the mind to continue chatting, and bowed and retired.

The corners of Zhang Tianhao's mouth curled.

The personal entourage knew him best, and asked, "Is the master going to enter the palace?" ”

"Zoren has done a good thing for our Zhang Mansion, if I don't go to the emperor to ask for credit, I will be a fool, I didn't think of a reason just now, now it's okay, take the opportunity to ask for merit for Elder Tsuji of the Eight Tones Country, just let Zoren also get clean."

"The lord is wise, so far. The credit for disaster relief is not only on the side of the palace family. ”

Zhang Tianhao sneered: "He wants to be beautiful, no matter how good he is." It can't make up for heather's fault. You also know that the anger of the common people can be rekindled.

I not only have to ask for merit for Elder Tsuji, but also for the squires in the city, and after the emperor's reward comes down, you will deliberately reveal the news of my merit, when the time comes. They all have to thank me. ”

The entourage should be to have people prepare a roster of people who have donated this time.

After getting the roster, Zhang Tianhao struck while the iron was hot. Immediately changed into official clothes and entered the palace to see Emperor Qinglong.

Emperor Qinglong is worried about the matter of heather these days, and he sleeps late, and when Zhang Tianhao arrived, he was looking at the excerpts reported by Gong Chengyan.

"Your Majesty. This disaster relief. Many squires have given a helping hand, and Weichen thinks that the merit for these people can show the emperor's benevolence, and secondly, it can also make up for the loss of their property. ”

Emperor Qinglong didn't see Gong Chengyan's excerpt report on this, and asked, "What are the squire officials?" ”

Zhang Tianhao presented the roster and said: "The officials above are all or donate money. Or donate quilt items to eat. However, there is one person who took out his own 500 acres of land. She was given to the refugees who called her a living bodhisattva. ”

Emperor Qinglong's eyelids jumped, and he said in a light tone: "Living Bodhisattva? I don't know who it is, compared with me, who is higher or lower? ”

Zhang Tianhao heard Emperor Qinglong's precaution, and pretended not to know, "It's a widow named Tsuji Niang, one of the elders of the Eight Sound Kingdom, and now lives in Luoxiayuan." ”

When Emperor Qinglong heard that it was a woman and a widow, he immediately let down his guard and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I still have such a good woman in Quyang, and it is not easy to donate 500 acres of land." ”

After pondering for a moment, he continued: "Efeng Tsuji Niang is a person from Liupin'an, and he will send a decree to Luoxia Garden tomorrow. ”

Fuquan received the order, asked the little eunuch to present the holy decree and the jade seal, waited for Emperor Qinglong to write the holy decree, and then ordered the eunuch to send the decree to Luoxia Yuan tomorrow.

"Those on the roster are rewarded." Emperor Qinglong turned the roster to the last page, saw that it said Zhang Zuolun, and asked; "Aiqing's son-in-law also went?"

Zhang Tianhao knelt down and said: "The emperor also knows that Weichen's son, he is really uneasy. It's easy for him to do serious things, and Weichen is afraid that he is just a whim, so he specially implores the emperor to encourage him, he is doing things for the emperor, so that he knows that he is doing good deeds, and he can be more mature and sensible in the future. ”

Emperor Qinglong smiled: "Parents are like this, and my children are not worried, Aiqing should step aside." ”

Zhang Tianhao was happy in his heart and kowtowed to thank him.

Fuquan put the roster away, and when he saw that it was getting late, he said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest." ”

Emperor Qinglong stood up and suddenly asked, "Is there any news about the four princes recently?" ”

Fuquan's face darkened slightly, "Back to the emperor, the fourth prince has not responded to our people, and the servants have sent people to secretly search for a few days, but——"

"Just what?"

Fuquan looked embarrassed, "There is no trace of the four princes in the city, and the servants think that the four princes may have left Quyang." ”

Emperor Qinglong frowned for a long time before he sighed and said, "Don't worry, don't worry." ”

Fuquan hurriedly gave him a good breath, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the fourth prince is witty, he will definitely take care of himself, the slave has already asked people to look for it, and nothing will happen." ”

Emperor Qinglong nodded slightly, "Let's go to Concubine Rong's place to sleep tonight." ”

Fukuquan led the way in front with a lantern.

In Luoxia Garden, the three people who called Liang Kai were respectfully replying.

"The little one is the apprentice of the medical hall."

"The small one is just the account room of a restaurant."

All three of them hung their heads, waiting for Ling Yi to speak.

Ling Yi smiled and glanced at Liang Kai, the people he was looking for were just right.

She said: "If you are asked to farm, I am afraid that you will not be able to grow food, the account room and the shopkeeper, I will let you go to the country of Bayin to do things, the apprentice of the medical hall, I will let you go to Xiaorentang to do things." ”

The three of them have also heard of Bayin Country and Xiaorentang, and know that it is a place where many people dream of working, with good pay and a very promising future.

If a moment ago they were still at a loss for the future, now they are like being guided by a beacon of light to know how to live next.

"The little ones thank Madame, and the little ones swear that in the future, they will repay Mrs. for their kindness when they look forward to the future and the horses for their husbands."

Ling Yi waved his hand and smiled: "I'm just doing my best, Xiaorentang and the people of the Eight Sound Country are not idle people who can enter, after you go in, you can only start from the lower level, as for how far you can mix in the future, it all depends on your personal creation."

Also, you are not allowed to reveal your connection to me to anyone, can you do that? ”

The people who are looking for Liangqi are all very good and honest, and the three of them are grateful to Ling Yi for giving them a chance to be reborn, and they just want to repay them well, where will they question, and immediately kowtow and say yes.

"Also, I want you to stay in the refugee area first, and you can take away the things that Liangqi gave you, and he will tell you how to use them."

The three of them responded again and again, and then ordered some other confidential matters, and Ling Yi let the three of them leave.

Liang Qian stepped forward and said, "Miss, do you want a small carriage to go back?" ”

Ling Yi shook his head and said: "Don't use it for the time being, let everyone prepare and prepare, clean the courtyard inside and out, prepare a clean tea set, and use a good dragon well for tea." ”

Liang Kai asked suspiciously, "Do you want to come as a guest?" ”

He had been in Luoxia Garden for so long, and he hadn't seen Ling Yi entertain any guests.

Ling Yi smiled slightly, "There's a big guest coming." ”

At noon, a gorgeous sedan chair stopped outside Luoxia Garden, and a eunuch in blue clothes walked down from the sedan chair, the eunuch held a roll of golden cloth silk in both hands, and the little eunuch walked to the door and shouted long: "The holy decree has arrived, and the Tsuji Niang of Luoxia Garden listens to the decree." ”

Ling Yi was dressed in a crimson suit, her hair was curled high, and she was wearing a red veil on her face, and walked out of the main room.

The people in the courtyard also came out one after another, kneeling on both sides.

Ling Yi knelt down respectfully.

The eunuch's face sank, and he said angrily: "Presumptuous, when you receive the holy decree, you even have to cover your face, and when you see the holy decree, you dare to hide it in front of the emperor?" ”

Ling Yi was terrified: "The father-in-law forgives the sin, the surviving person has a disease on his face, and he is afraid of tarnishing the emperor's eyes, so he sees him with a mask." ”

The eunuch thought for a while, "That's it, the emperor is benevolent and loves the people, be considerate of you, and accept the decree." ”

Ling Yi waited for him to finish reading, stretched out his hands to take the holy decree, and kowtowed again, before he was helped up by the eunuch.

The eunuch was left to drink tea, and two boxes of the best tea were given, and fifty taels of silver were used as seals, and the eunuch left satisfied.

After Liang Yi sent the eunuch away, he was indignant when he returned to the house, "The dog slave who is a fox and a fake tiger is a dog slave who came out of the palace, and the eldest lady was rewarded, and she dared to speak evil words, which is really hateful." ”

Ling Yi was not angry at all, but smiled and said: "What's there to be angry about, he's just a eunuch who heralds, do you think that without the emperor's instructions, he dares to scold the rewarded people at will." ”

Liang Kai was shocked: "What does the eldest lady mean, this is the emperor's order?" ”

"After all, Tsuji Niang's reputation has been too good recently, even if she is a widow, she can't overshadow the limelight of the royal family, the emperor is warning me to keep a low profile in the future.

But I just want a name, with this heavy identity, speaking in the country of Eight Sounds in the future, the weight is not light. ”

Liang Yi couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "The eldest lady is clever, everything is under your control, little admiration." ”

Gong Chengyan missed the opportunity to relieve the disaster in heather, which caused the victims to be resentful, this time he was responsible for a small number of refugees outside the city, he can be said to have done everything, trying his best to give people an amiable and loving image, but also won a lot of applause.

"Father, our people are ready, do you think it's time to do it?" Gong Yunrui asked.

Gong Chengyan asked: "Shi Nan has not reported the news of a large number of deaths for a long time, what is going on with the people who are doing the work?" ”

Gong Yunrui frowned slightly, "The child will send someone to check later, then when do you think the epidemic virus outside the city will be released?" ”

"Let our people over there increase the dose, it's best to kill a hundred people at once, and then release the news, once it is released, we will do it outside the city."

Gong Yunrui smiled and said: "When the time comes, my father will enter the palace again, saying that there is an epidemic in heather, and all the people who have been in and out of heather have been infected with the epidemic, and the emperor will definitely order a blockade of heather, and at that time, none of them will want to come back." ”

Gong Chengyan sneered: "Since they want to be heroes, then I'll let him do enough." (To be continued......)
