Daming Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Emperor Long An looked at the thick stack of folds that were newly presented, his face was pale, and his eyes seemed to be about to eat people!

The chief eunuch of Daming Palace lamented in his heart: I am so tired of living!

But then again, in fact, Emperor Long An is not a widowed king, perhaps because of the good Buddha, although he scolds people ruthlessly and has a big temperament, there are not many times when he really kills.

Emperor Taishang is famous in the world, but in the thirty years of the early Jing Dynasty, the total number of eunuchs who died violently in the palace was almost three or four thousand.

Together, more than 100 people die every year.

It's just that the Emperor Taishang did it wisely back then, and the palace eunuch who angered him did not kill him directly, but waited until there was a concubine and a concubine in the palace who died, and the palace eunuch was martyred alive.

Emperor Long An's approach was rougher, and he ignored small mistakes, and had his own big eunuchs such as Dai Quan and Xia Shouzhong to deal with it.

made a big mistake and directly let the pull be beaten to death in the courtyard!

So there are not many people killed, but the name of tyranny is not small, in fact, it is a bit wronged......

"Bang!"

Emperor Long An looked extremely angry, slapped his palm on the imperial case, and scolded: "Bastard! Bastard! This lawless bastard! ”

Dai Quan was almost holding his breath, and whoever dared to take the lead at this time would not be wronged to death.

At this moment, a yellow gate squire entered from outside, trembling and playing: "Long live ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Emperor Long'an's knife-like eyes, his breath stagnated, his brain emptied, and he forgot what was going on.

Seeing his bluffing face and trembling appearance, Emperor Long An smiled angrily and scolded: "What a stupid thing! It's really ......."

He didn't even know if he should attack this idiot!

Dai Quan recognized this person, it was his little son, surnamed Wang, who loved to call himself a prince in front of people.

He looks quite clever on weekdays, but who would have thought that he would commit such a stupid thing today.

Fortunately, when he glared angrily, the little yellow man surnamed Wang reacted with a stirring spirit and said hurriedly: "Long live the lord!" Lin Ruhai, the left attendant of the household department outside the palace, asked for an audience. ”

Emperor Long An's eyes widened when he heard this, and he reprimanded: "What a confused seed, don't announce it soon!" Get out of here! ”

Xiao Huangmen'er looked like he was crying and retreated.

He knew that the days of serving in the Heart Cultivation Hall were over, and the future was over......

When it was rumored outside the hall that Lin Ruhai had entered the hall, he hid aside and cried.

I don't know how long I cried, but I heard a person say slightly: "Moody, go and ask what the little yellow door is crying about?" ”

He was excited, and when he turned around, he saw the Bodhisattva-like queen mother, looking at him with a smile.

The princess who was in charge of the queen's side, Father-in-law Mu Dimu, walked towards him......

……

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Long An looked at Lin Ruhai, frowned and blamed, "What's the matter?" Let you keep it at home, why does it look worse the more you raise it? But the people below don't bother to serve? I said that I would send the imperial doctor and palace maid to your house, but you don't want it! I don't care, this time ......"

Without waiting for Emperor Long An to finish speaking, Lin Ruhai, whose face was full of exhaustion and bloodshot eyes, and the whole person was thin and dying, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the case. It's just that in the past two days, the minister has been sleepless all night to check some things, so he doesn't look very good. It will be good to go back and rest for two nights. ”

When Emperor Long An heard this, his face seemed to be able to scrape off a layer of frost, and he looked at Lin Ruhai and asked, "I asked you to protect yourself, and you will protect yourself like this?!" At present, the great government has not yet started, what is the great thing that is worth practicing yourself like this? ”

Lin Ruhai saw that the Son of Heaven was really angry, so he could only kneel down and plead: "It's the minister, the emperor still asks for anger." ”

Seeing his thin body and bones lying together, so small, and his hair was gray, Emperor Long An was tired.

Such a courtier, what can he do?!

After sending Dai Quan to help him up, Emperor Long An sat back on the imperial chair and said tiredly: "Aiqing, you can save snacks for me." Let's take a look, the five provinces are beginning to show signs of drought, and the court's officials and courtiers have begun to fold, saying that it is all because the court is too eager to recover the deficit, which has caused panic among the officials, and the people in the world are full of words, and the people are very resentful, which has led to changes in the sky! They have the face to say that the people's heart is the heart of heaven!! I, I really can't wait to pull out one to behead and rob the family, let them see, whether it is the people's heart is the heart of heaven, or my heart is the heart of heaven! ”

In front of the humerus, Emperor Long An did not hide the anger in his heart, and said fiercely.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been sleepless day and night for the past two days, and what has been verified is also this matter. asked the emperor to Hongfu, and barely found out some eyebrows, so he entered the palace to see the emperor. ”

Emperor Long An raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and said, "Oh? What did Aiqing find out? ”

Lin Ruhai restrained the smile on his face, and said: "The minister took people together to check the changes in the celestial phenomena recorded in the river yamen records in the past hundred years, and found a small pattern......

Hearing what he said so solemnly, Emperor Long An sat up straight, twisted his eyebrows and said, "What has changed?" ”

Lin Ruhai said: "The changes in the celestial phenomena seem to take each Jiazi year as a reincarnation, and the cycle repeats itself. Sixty years ago last year, it was the fifth year of Yuanping, and there was also a great drought in Beizhili. Sixty years ago, in the fourth year of Yuanping, there was a torrential rain in Jiangxi and a flood. Sixty years ago, in the third year of Yuanping, heavy rain fell in the Yellow River basin, and the Yellow River was almost rerouted. In short, the more you compare by year, the more you will find that although it may not coincide exactly, it is generally the same. ”

Emperor Long An's eyes became brighter when he heard this, and he said, "If this is the case, is it credible?" ”

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "These archived data can't be faked, it doesn't make sense that they are similar in the past, but this year's changes ......."

When Emperor Long An heard this, he hurriedly asked: "What kind of celestial phenomenon is it in the sixth year of Yuanping?" ”

Lin Ruhai smiled: "In the sixth year of Yuanping, the celestial phenomena in February are really similar to this year, and there is little rain in the country. However, by mid-to-late February, that is, on 15 February, rain will begin to fall in Lianghu, Liangjiang, Shandong and other places. It's just two provinces, Gansu and Henan...... It's up to providence. ”

When Emperor Long An heard this, the sea breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Lin Ruhai with bright eyes: "If it is really only a drought in Gansu and Henan, and the two lakes and two rivers are unharmed, then the imperial court will not suffer an unbearable burden!" ”

Lin Ruhai still said cautiously: "Your Majesty, although there are rules to follow in this matter, it may not be foolproof. In addition......" At this point, the expression on his face was no longer cautious, but solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if this disaster does not occur this year, it is ...... In the eighth year of Yuanping, the Yellow River was diverted, the Yangtze River flooded, and the provinces south of the Yangtze River were a piece of Zeguo. If this is the case, it will be another round of Gengzi year, I am afraid it will be difficult! ”

When Emperor Long An heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he also remembered the tragic situation recorded in the eighth year of Yuanping.

Zeguo is thousands of miles, countless displaced people, starving and wild, and cannibalism......

The reason why the heroes of Yuanping are so poor is because of the huge flood in the eighth year of Yuanping, which almost exhausted the foundation of the Dayan Dynasty, so that Yuanping has not been relieved for thirty-one years.

If, two years later, such a catastrophe really occurred in the year of Gengzi, then ......

Seeing that Emperor Long An's face had turned pale, Lin Ruhai was relieved: "Your Majesty, there are still two years to go." Moreover, the current power of the national dynasty is completely different from that of the Yuan Ping period. If you can really make some preparations in advance, it will not lead to the tragic situation of the year! ”

Emperor Long An was also a hard-minded person, and when he heard this, he took a deep breath and slowly bowed his head and said, "I understand! I am not afraid! ”

If we can really predict it two years in advance, build water conservancy and river projects as early as possible, and store grain, we will not be in the miserable situation of the eight years of Yuanping!

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "The emperor is a saint!" ”

Emperor Long An snorted, glanced at Lin Ruhai with a sneer in the eyes of an old friend, and pointed his finger at him.

I heard Lin Ruhai laugh and said: "There is a lot of bad news, and the minister has also brought some good news." The emperor, Zhang Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, entered the minister's mansion and talked about the matter of recovering the deficit, and the minister ......" said, he told the whole story of the night, and finally said: "Today, the minister asked people to check, and a lot of silver has been returned to the treasury." ”

Emperor Long An was overjoyed when he heard this, and then sneered: "This is not called forming a party for personal gain, but what is it called?" Give you a list? This list is excellent! ”

However, Emperor Long An did not ask Lin Ruhai for this list, and he did not want Lin Ruhai to be a lonely minister.

Lin Ruhai persuaded: "Your Majesty, the matter of forming a party is inevitable in ancient and modern times, and it will not be rare in the future." Why should the emperor be angry? ”

Emperor Long An was about to say something, when he suddenly saw a yellow door come in, and said, "Your Majesty, the queen mother is here......"

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has retired." ”

Unexpectedly, Emperor Long An waved his hand and said: "No need, maybe the queen has something to do with Aiqing here." ”

Before long, I saw Queen Yin coming.

It is clear that the woman who has given birth to two princes has already been a woman who calls herself an old woman in the folk.

However, coming in from outside the hall at this moment, where his body was soft and plump, Lin Ruhai also lowered his eyes slightly to avoid his demeanor.

After seeing the salute, Empress Yin looked at Emperor Long An and said with a smile: "I have heard that Lord Lin is the emperor's important minister, and the emperor has always been in a bad mood these two days, and it is difficult to see a smiling face, but when Lord Lin entered the palace, the emperor had a smile on his face." If this is the case, the concubine would like to ask Lord Lin to come and walk around the palace more. ”

Before Lin Ruhai could speak, Emperor Long An smiled and said: "If the courtiers are all like Lin Aiqing, no, if you can have Lin Aiqing's loyalty and filial piety, I will not be so difficult." However, the queen still doesn't have to work Lin Aiqing anymore, his body and bones are not as good as me, but he has stayed up for a few days and nights to relieve his worries. How can I bear to ask him to enter the palace more? ”

When Empress Yin heard this, she apologized: "This is not the concubine's, I only think about the emperor's mood." However, the concubines did not envy the emperor, although the emperor had a loyal and famous minister like Lord Lin as a courtier, the concubine also got the filial piety of a beautiful and sensitive, sincere and filial daughter today. The girl knew that the emperor and the concubines believed in Buddhism, so she specially gave the newly acquired treasure of Buddhism to the concubines. Your Majesty, do you want to watch it? ”

Emperor Long An naturally knew what Empress Yin had done today, and with such grace, Empress Yin would naturally not be self-conscious.

However, Emperor Long An didn't know what would happen later, but he also guessed that it was mostly related to Lin Ruhai's daughter, and it was rare that he was in a good mood at the moment, so he said: "Then please show the queen, and let me and Lin Aiqing open their eyes, what kind of treasure is Buddhism!" ”

Empress Yin then asked people to carry the incense burner in, and Mrs. Yin also had a heart, and after getting the treasure, she immediately sent it to the palace.

After lighting the sandalwood, looking at the lotus platform composed of smoke clouds, Emperor Long An was greatly moved.

Lin Ruhai frowned, but he didn't say much.

glanced at him lightly, and Queen Yin's impression of Lin Ruhai in her heart was further deepened, she was a capable minister, but she was not necessarily an annoying minister.

After she said Jia Qiang's words with a smile, she finally smiled: "The concubine originally wanted to take good care of Lord Lin's daughter, but who would have expected that she would suffer such a big favor." ”

Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, bowed down and said: "This thing, originally a treasure that is not a human minister, is dedicated to the emperor and the queen, it should be done!" Moreover, the emperor and the queen's Longen, how can it be compared to a Buddhist incense burner? ”

Empress Yin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, everything that the concubines can reward has been rewarded, but the result is that the favor is not successful, but it takes advantage of it, so that the heavenly family can get this treasure." What to do, you can do it yourself......"

Emperor Long An was also embarrassed, rubbed his chin with his hand, looked at the queen, and then looked at Lin Ruhai, and said with a smile: "Lin Aiqing, how about I accept another righteous daughter?" ”
