When I woke up, I found that I had an extra cloak on my body, and my head was still a little confused, when Xiao Wu's voice sounded in my ears, "Niangniang, are you awake?" ”

Ling Ruo stroked his face, lifted his spirits a little and said, "I can't imagine that this palace is actually asleep, who is covering this cloak for this palace, are you?" ”

Xiao Wu said with a smile: "Back to Niangniang's words, it was the emperor who covered it, before the emperor finished discussing things, the slave came to invite Niangniang, who knew that Niangniang was asleep, and the slave didn't dare to wake up Niangniang, so he went back to the emperor, and the emperor was afraid that Niangniang would catch a cold, so he personally covered this cloak for Niangniang." ”

"I see." Saying this, Ling Ruo took off his cloak and got up to go to the inner hall, Yin Zhen was stroking his forehead and looking at a fold, when he saw Ling Ruo coming in, he smiled and said, "Awake?" ”

Ling Ruoqian saluted and said: "Yes, the concubine was sleepy for a while, which made the emperor laugh, but since the emperor is here, he should wake up the concubine, but the concubine is rude in front of the king." ”

Yin Zhen beckoned her to come closer, and said, "I thought that since you were asleep, you would simply sleep a little longer, and there was nothing to do, what to do when you woke up, how, you slept for a while, but you were in good spirits?" ”

"Thank you for your concern." Ling Ruo put the cloak on the shelf on the side and said, "It's the first time I've seen this cloak and concubines of the emperor, but the Internal Affairs Office has just sent it?" ”

Yin Zhen chuckled: "It's really new, but it's not the Internal Affairs Office, it's Runyu." ”

Ling Ruo was very surprised and said: "It turned out to be from the hands of the concubine, such a delicate embroidery, but it is much better than the concubine, and the concubine will not dare to show ugliness in the future." ”

Yin Zhen shook her hand and said: "What is ugly or not, as long as it is something you do, it is the best in my eyes, no one can compare." ”

Ling Ruo pursed his lips and smiled: "When did the emperor become like this?" ”

"I'm not coaxing you, but telling the truth, but there are countless women in this world, only you can hear the truth." Listening to Yinzhen's words, Ling Ruo raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't that concubine very lucky?" ”

"This is nature, there is no woman in the world who is as lucky as you!" Without waiting for Ling Ruo to speak, Yin Zhen couldn't help but laugh first, stretching his frowning brows.

After laughing, he said, "I almost forgot to talk about it, but what happened when I came to see me early in the morning?" ”

Ling Ruo was about to speak, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the fold that Yinzhen was spreading on the table, and after reading a few lines, his expression couldn't help but change, "Your Majesty, something happened in Zhejiang?" ”

Hearing this, Yinzhen's brows that had just stretched immediately wrinkled again, and he sighed heavily and said: "Yes, at the other end of Henan, Hongshi just reported a great news to me, and something happened in Zhejiang, and hundreds of people surrounded the government and the people, so that the people inside could not enter and exit. After that, Li Wei sent troops to drive away the people, and although they were dispersed at the last time, many of them were also injured, and the people were angry, making it particularly difficult to implement the new policy. I was discussing the affairs of Zhejiang with Zhang Tingyu and them just now, but after discussing and discussing, I could only find a way to appease, and if I used force, it would only make the contradiction between the government and the people more intense. ”

Yin Zhen's words made Ling Ruo's brows frown slightly, strange, Li Wei has always been very measured, and he had written to himself before, although he did not persuade all the rich people like Hongshi, but at least he persuaded fifty or sixty percent, and he has been gradually slowing down in a gentle manner, how could he suddenly make such a big move.

Yin Zhen stroked his forehead and said: "I have sent a decree to Li Wei, asking him to appease the people as much as possible, and tell them that the new policy of apportioning the land to the mu is for their good, so that they can pay less taxes." There are still a few months left in the year, and if the new policy cannot be implemented in the whole province by then, Zhejiang's trial will be considered a failure. ”

Ling Ruo comforted: "The emperor also said that there are still a few months left, and the concubine believes that Li Wei will handle this matter properly and live up to the emperor's expectations." ”

This time, there was a thin anger on Yinzhen's face, "What Li Wei did this time is really unsatisfactory, not only did the new deal not be implemented, but also almost provoked a popular uprising, compared with Henan, it is simply a world of difference, I really don't know how he is doing things." ”

Ling Ruo heard the dissatisfaction with Li Wei revealed in Yinzhen's words, and it was no wonder that Hongshi made Henan impressive, but Li Wei had a leak here, in comparison, dissatisfaction is also reasonable, "There is a difficulty in one place, and the concubine believes that Li Wei has done his best." ”

"I hope he can do a better job in the next few months, so that I won't be able to implement the new policy by then." Saying this, Yin Zhen eased his breath and said, "By the way, you haven't told me why you came here. ”

Ling Ruo hesitated for a moment and said, "The concubine heard that the emperor punished Yan Chang for ten days in clearing the snow, right?" ”

Yin Zhen nodded and said: "Yes, Qi Jia's heart is not kind, just some trivial things will blame the palace people, and then respect and inferiority, speak disrespectfully to the concubine, and deliberately cause her to fall, such a woman, if she is not taught some lessons, I don't know what will happen in the future." With that, he glanced at Ling Ruo and said, "But the Qi Jia clan came to beg you to be exempted from the punishment of ten days of snow clearing?" "Qi Jia's family is Yan Changzai's surname, and his full name is Qi Jia Yanxue.

"The concubine didn't dare to hide it from the emperor, Yan Changzai did come to see the concubine last night, and asked the concubine to intercede with the emperor on her behalf." As soon as Ling Ruo's words fell, Yin Zhen snorted coldly: "She is cunning in her mind, and she knows that it is useless to ask for me, so she runs to you, don't pay attention to her, and let her sweep the snow for ten days." Otherwise, if you indulge her this time, it will definitely get worse in the future. ”

Ling Ruo frowned slightly, looking at this, the Liu family said a lot in front of Yinzhen whether Yan Chang was here or not, so how big did Yinzhen have a big opinion of her, "Your Majesty, can you allow your concubine to tell the truth?" ”

If there was a different person, Yin Zhen would definitely make him not have to say much, but the person who spoke was Ling Ruo, a woman who he couldn't refuse, and said immediately: "You just say it, I listen." ”

Ling Ruo lowered her head and said: "Yes, the concubine has also had a few contacts with Yan Changzai, she is just a little straighter, and she doesn't have any bad intentions, as for punishing the palace people that day, it is too embarrassing, so she will be angry on the palace people." ”

Yin Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Even if this makes sense, what about her sprained her foot?" ”

Ling Ruo smiled slightly and said: "There is one thing, Concubine Qian is only afraid that she has never told the emperor, in fact, the reason why the concubines know that Lu Daoyan is often punishing the palace people and punishing her for clearing the snow is because those palace people complained to the concubines. ”

Yin Zhen looked at her strangely and said, "So what? ”

And the person who complained to their concubines was precisely the concubine, and this matter was said by the complainant himself, if the emperor did not believe it, he could pass on his palace to reply. At that time, Concubine Qian was not far away, watching this happen with her own eyes, she knew that those palace people should not be held responsible, but she did not show up, and only after the matter passed, she let those palace people come to find the concubines and let the concubines administer justice for them. How much of this is true and how much is false Ling Ruo's guess, because according to Xiao Wangzi, the Liu family only appeared after Yan Chang left, and he didn't know about it in advance, but after thinking about it carefully, Ling Ruo thought that the Liu family was simply sitting back and watching this happen, and then pretending to ask, in order to logically push the matter on her, so that she and Yan Chang were opposed.
