165 Flooding

"No one expected what happened in the past, not even the queen mother." The emperor sighed, and the corners of his old eyes showed a little guilt.

"It's not an immortal, how can you be unpredictable," the eldest princess smiled relievedly, "Even now, who could have expected it?" ”

The emperor lowered his eyes: "The next day, that kid, he is also not young, and it is good to have experience in the forbidden army." The meaning is very clear, it is to arrange a position for Xia Yichen.

The eldest princess shook her head: "It's not that the courtier's sister is too small-minded and can't let go of the past." Yichen, this kid, is very assertive, and ridiculous, and the control of the forbidden army can't restrain him at all. So don't force yourself to come and take your time! She politely rejected the emperor's proposal.

Xia Yichen's current appearance is indeed not suitable for serving in the army.

As for whether his nature is suitable or not......

Outside the screen, Ah Chou, who was about to write a recipe, overheard the conversation between the two people. In fact, he listened openly, so he couldn't help but think about Xia Yichen's character.

He looks uninhibited, but in fact, he seems to be quite ruthless to himself?

In her opinion, people who are ruthless to themselves are suitable wherever they go.

So putting aside the dormant problem, even if Xia Yichen is thrown into the forbidden army, he can get ahead.

Just, is this the life he likes?

Zhizi Mo Ruomu, the eldest princess of Jingchen is afraid that it is until he doesn't like it, so she will help him refuse, right?

The emperor and the eldest princess of Jingchen chatted a little more, and the ugly really found that the eldest princess of Jingchen is now very open.

Perhaps when she was young, the eldest princess of Jingchen was also moved by the bravery of King Yu Xia Zhenyuan. It's just that as long as it's a smart woman, after the Li family, anyone will take back their hearts, right?

After that, she lived so easily and chicly. That's really a complete drop.

Who hasn't rounded a few corners and fallen a few times when they're young?

Just get up and keep walking!

Thinking like this, Ah Chou's mood also became open-minded, and he wrote down a new recipe:

Cooked two taels. Ejiao two taels of purple quartz one tael. Whole wheat winter one or two. One or two pestles of Schisandra chinensis. Keel two taels. Oysters two taels. Quartz dragon oyster simmer first. [1]

This recipe has been slightly changed from before, consolidating the condition and recuperating yin and yang.

Coming out of the palace, Ah Chou was about to go to the Sumire Hall to have a look, and Tian Qiumei handed over a post.

Mo Xuan asked her to go to the Kaihuai Teahouse.

"Turn the carriage around and go to the teahouse." Ugly instructed the coachman.

Mo Xuan didn't say anything, and directly called her to Kaihuai Teahouse...... He has always been a person who does nothing but ascend the Three Treasures Temple. What's the tricky problem this time?

In the private room of the Happy Teahouse, Ah Chou looked at the words he got from Mo Xuan, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Is this news reliable?" There doesn't seem to be such news from the imperial court? ”

Mo Xuan bowed: "The Mo family's industry has always been very cautious, and this kind of thing will not be talked about." So the message is absolutely reliable. Now Quzhou's business is no longer viable. We also gave out some food every day, just barely making ends meet. ”

"Quzhou floods. The official documents of the local officials have not yet been delivered. At this moment, even if you tell the emperor, the emperor will not believe it if he is afraid," Ah Chou worried, "I can only let the relevant people prepare first." ”

"I also know the seriousness of this matter. understands that it is necessary to inform the court, the Mo family does not know many people in the officialdom, and the only one who can help the most is the ugly girl. Mo Xuan's tone was very sincere.

Ah Ugly bowed: "Don't worry, Master Mo, I will do my best." So there will be no delay. Ugly first say goodbye! "If the matter is urgent, tell the prince who is still in prison first, maybe the prince can take precautions and prepare before the official news arrives.

In the East Palace, the crown prince Mu Tianhong listened to Ah Ugly's report, and his expression was worried: "The Mo family has always had a good reputation, and they will never do anything bad to their reputation." Mo Xuan's news should be reliable. But at this time, it was said to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and they were all unbelievable. ”

"I don't need to say it to the Manchu Dynasty, and I don't need them to believe it," Ah Chou replied, "Your Highness just needs to find a reason, for example, if there are many heavy rains in summer, you must prevent floods, and let those disaster relief departments be active and take precautions." When the news of the Quzhou flood arrives, it will be able to wait for an opportunity. In particular, he was able to take out the content of one of the five disaster relief strategies in front of the emperor, which impressed the emperor. ”

Mu Tianhong nodded: "Okay, this king will go and deploy." ”

"If you let the emperor know directly, Your Highness would have gotten the news a long time ago, but it would not be good. In this way, His Highness will be charged with arranging spies in various parts of the country, finding out information, and having bad intentions. "Ugly said.

Mu Tianhong also knows this truth, he can't say anything at this time, he can only be confused and take precautions.

On July 26 of the 11th year of Yongchang, the news of the flood in Quzhou reached the capital Jianye.

At that time, it was raining heavily in Jianye, and after the prince Mu Tianhong got the news, he entered the palace in the rain overnight and offered advice in front of the emperor's sickbed.

The sick emperor Long Yan Dayue immediately launched disaster relief arrangements, only to find that all departments have been in good order under the prince's governance these days, and he was even more pleased, and praised and rewarded the prince.

Mu Tianhong was very modest, and he also pushed all these credits to the officials of various ministries.

After these words were spread, officials from all ministries praised the prince. Of course, that's a story for later.

Today's situation is that the flooding in Quzhou is far more serious than imagined.

"This is already the fifth batch of grain transported by the Mo family," Mo Xuan's expression was solemn, "but the Quzhou area is still full of hunger. ”

"It will definitely not work if it goes on like this, it has become Zeguo over there, and even if the people continue to stay in Quzhou, it will be a vast ocean. Summers are hot and prone to plague outbreaks. If I let these displaced people take refuge in the north, will it cause a bad response? Ah Chou seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually asking Mo Xuan.

"If you take refuge in the north, the people in the north will definitely complain. This cannot be avoided. Mo Xuan felt a little sorry.

"Young Master Mo, the people of the Mo family should retreat from Quzhou, now that the imperial court has moved, I am afraid that if you hold on any longer, there will be some danger." Ugly persuaded.

Mo Xuan was very firm: "When the people of the imperial court settle down in Quzhou, the Mo family will retreat." ”

Ah Chou thought about it, and knew that Mo Xuan had always been the kind of man who would never come back from eight horses, so he no longer dissuaded him: "Then Mo Gongzi must let his subordinates be careful." ”

reported the situation to the crown prince Mu Tianhong, and Mu Tianhong knocked on the side through the emperor, so that the emperor understood that the Quzhou flood was very critical.

"Prince, I have decided to send you to personally relieve the disaster." The emperor made a decision.

"Father," Mu Tianhong was a little stunned, "Father, if the sons go to the disaster relief, will the Father Emperor be able to hold up the dragon?" With the flood in Quzhou ahead, the affairs of the imperial court must be busier, and the father should be careful of the dragon body! ”

The emperor understood Mu Tianhong's worries, but he just sighed: "I haven't given you much opportunity to practice before. Only then did I find out this time that Hong'er is a person who can take on a big job. Don't worry, my father has taken Ugly's medicine now, and he is very refreshed. ”

If Ah Chou heard this, he would definitely secretly despise: You only found out now that he can take on a big responsibility, why did you go earlier?

Mu Tianhong expressed his worries euphemistically, but the emperor was still unmoved. Mu Tianhong didn't dare to say anything more, and took over the errand to Quzhou for disaster relief.

In the East Palace, after Xia Yichen got the news, he immediately came to find everyone and warned them about the safety of going to Quzhou for disaster relief: "This time is not worse than the drought in Qiaojun, or even worse than the things in Fujian." As long as the officials in Fujian are replaced, the people will be appeased, and they will be solved smoothly; But Quzhou, Quzhou is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, how to solve it? ”

Ah Chou glanced at Xia Yichen appreciatively: "What the prince said is extremely true. As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and I think Quzhou disaster relief is like this. Well done, it will be loved by all the people. The whole Daqian praised you. If you don't do it well, the emperor is also resentful, and the people are also disgusted, and the two sides are not people, and it is thankless. Who could have predicted the hardships? ”

Yu Zexuan also said: "Your Highness, why don't you find some other reason, pretend to be sick or something, and excuse yourself?" Such an errand is not assigned to the four princes. Where are all the good errands in the past? There was a lot of irony in the words.

Mu Tianhong shook his head firmly: "I have made up my mind, this time in Quzhou, this king must go." ”

Several people were stunned.

After a while, Ah Chou sighed: "Since His Highness has decided, then you must be fully prepared." Shizi, you must choose the person who follows His Highness, martial arts may not be the best, but you must be smart. As for the medicines, the ugly will be fully prepared. ”

Xia Yichen looked at an ugly one and understood what she meant. If you want to persuade Mu Tianhong, I'm afraid it's impossible, so you can only do what their subordinates should do.

"I will dredge up relations with local officials in Quzhou in advance and arrange the reception." Yu Zexuan also followed.

Mu Tianhong was silent.

In the garden of King Yu's mansion, Ah Chou was a little surprised to see Xia Yixue who was practicing martial arts.

Her martial arts are very good, although Ah Chou is not good at judging martial arts, but looking at it, it is very good.

It is not an ordinary woman's martial arts practice that is easy to practice, Xia Yixue's moves are very practical at a glance.

A woman who knows martial arts, since Ah Ugly crossed over, she has seen a lot, four. What's more, Qingmeng and Rong Qinglan are both masters.

I heard that Princess Long Yu has been on the battlefield, and her martial arts are definitely not weak, and she may also be a master.

But I didn't expect that Xia Yixue's martial arts were actually smooth, and she seemed to be a master.

But she invited herself to Yuwang's Mansion at this time, just to see her practice martial arts?

Ugly couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

After a while, Xia Yixue stopped the sword in her hand, and her breath was not chaotic: "Ugly girl, I invited you here today to ask you for some medicine." ”

Ah Chou stared at her beautiful face for a long time before he asked unhurriedly, "Are you going to Quzhou?" (To be continued......)
