Chapter Thirty-Six: Dancing in the Midst of Thought
The next day I went to the East Palace, walked all the way on the corridor, but found that the East Palace seemed to have changed, the flowers and trees in front of the steps were curling Tingting, the corridor had been hung with a curtain to repel mosquitoes in summer, and there was a light yarn where someone passed, and a delicate incense burner was hung every other distance.
Su Fengjin didn't know if Suo Ji had changed his temperament, and he always felt that it didn't look like his style. When I arrived in the study room, I saw the halberd reclining on the beauty couch.
At this moment, one hand is folded behind his head, and the other hand is holding a book, and he is fascinated by it.
"The grass people have seen His Highness."
"Well, get up."
Su Fengjin got up and stood but didn't see anyone else, Cui Langru didn't arrive, Suo Ji didn't mean to speak, it seemed that the book was very interesting, and he was reluctant to leave for a moment.
Su Fengjin coughed dryly and asked, "Your Highness, Lord Cui is not here today?" ”
"He'll need a little later."
Late?
Su Fengjin came over by stepping on the edge of the hour, why did Cui Langru, who has always been cautious and polite, come later?
"Come and see this."
Su Fengjin hurriedly walked over, only to see that Suo Ji's book recorded an old incident in the previous dynasty.
"Dancing in unison?"
Suo Ji bowed his head and said: "Yes, Qi Wu is a female streamer, but she can stand on the court, and it can be regarded as a long time." There were also many floods in the south of the Yangtze River in the previous dynasty, and the imperial court implemented many policies and relief, silver, grain and grass, and taxes, and the same policy did not fall, but in the end it was still a famine for many years. ”
It is said that Qi Wu is not a courtier, but a noblewoman, and a noblewoman who is proficient in medical skills. She is not like other nobles who enjoy flowers and go to banquets to do some elegant things, but to treat patients and medicine for the people, and she is quite famous.
One day, Qi Wu followed the family to enter the palace for a banquet, and the singing and dancing during the banquet were leveled, and the cups were exchanged, and the leftovers were even more numerous. Qi Wu was depressed in his heart, and knelt down to play the emperor on the spot in a fit of anger.
"Your Majesty has seen how ferocious the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are, taking people's lives?"
"I know, but I have been in the palace for a long time......"
Before he finished speaking, Qi Wu interrupted him again, "Your Majesty, do you know that after the flood, the people are not living and the plague is everywhere?" ”
At this time, the young emperor's face was gloomy, and the people around him were all quiet, afraid that they were all waiting for the emperor to deal with it, this noble girl who dared to face the emperor in public.
"The courtiers are fortunate to have seen what it means to mourn all over the wilderness!" Qi Wu said bitterly that the starving mother had no milk and fed her children with blood, and her helpless son cut meat to feed his mother, and even displaced people gathered together, waiting for whoever died first to feed.
There are even more people infected with the epidemic in the disaster area who are dying and crying, hating the sky for taking him away without eyes, and there are still wives and children at home and no one to take care of them......
Seeing that the people are getting thinner and thinner, but the officials are fatter and fatter, the officials sent to the disaster relief have not had the slightest mud on their shoes......
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how did this official distribute the disaster relief food? How to manage the embankment along the river? ”
The young emperor was speechless when asked, but the officials present all shed cold sweat.
"My father once asked my teacher to teach in the house, and the courtiers grew up like men since they were young, not as docile as the women in the boudoir, but they knew the rise and fall of the country. My father often sighed that it was a blessing or a curse, but today I am afraid that it is a disaster. ”
"Of course, the courtiers have no regrets!"
"When I was a child, I was studying, and there were frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat, and I still didn't understand what it meant, so I asked my teacher, and my teacher was silent. Today's courtiers dare to ask Your Majesty what he means? ”
Qi Wu snorted lightly and kowtowed to the ground, "Today's courtiers ask for the lives of the people of the world, and open peace for me for all generations." If you are guilty, you will be the courtier! ”
The story on the page came to an abrupt end, and Su Fengjin looked at the regret on Suo Ji's face, "Your Highness, Qi Wu is not dead." ”
Suo Ji glanced at him and sneered: "This palace naturally knows that Qi Wu is not dead, otherwise how could there be a later Qi Dance Zhongxing?" This palace is just sorry that there are cases of corruption in the midst of the flood in our dynasty, but no one has stepped forward like Qi Dan. ”
"Your Highness has done enough, and he didn't hesitate to be in prison to find out the clues of the corruption case, but Your Majesty ...... him" Su Fengjin lowered his head, "Your Majesty doesn't allow it, I guess I have my own plans." ”
Suo Ji sneered, and said abruptly: "Corruption is not accidental, nor is it a day's work, I would rather take this opportunity with the position of the East Palace, but Your Majesty takes it lightly, it can be seen that what he doesn't like is not the minister, but me, the prince." ”
"Your Highness......"
He knew that the courtiers saw the wind and steered the rudder, and only the palace slaves held high and stepped low, but he still stabbed the spearhead at the East Palace and punished him severely, but as long as the blade was a little biased towards his own son, he could hold the blade in his hand to block it. Feng Yi, do you know what the situation of the East Palace has been like for more than a month? ”
It was the first time Su Fengjin heard Suo Ji call him like this, and her tone revealed all kinds of helplessness.
"My East Palace has always been simple, today you must have seen the outside, that day he came to the East Palace to see the wounds of the palace, but only saw the wounds that the palace had healed. Embarrassing, you say, isn't it embarrassing? ”
With that, Suo Ji chuckled self-deprecatingly.
He said that the East Palace was a place for the storage and vice-president, and it was too simple, so he sent someone to decorate these flowers and objects, but none of them were allowed to do serious things. Bengong knew that this matter was put down. ”
Su Fengjin clenched her fists, knowing Suo Ji's depression, "Why should Your Highness be suppressed? Since it's been a long time, you might as well wait a little longer until you can control everything......"
"Su Fengyi!" Suo Ji gritted his teeth, and glanced at her in a loud voice, "You are so bold!" ”
Su Fengjin chuckled, but the sad atmosphere did not dissipate, "Isn't Your Highness so bold, there are more resentments in your heart than the grass people." ”
Suo Ji smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Feng Yi, I talked to you so much today, but I feel quite sorry for each other." If one day you can dial the clouds and see the moon, I hope you can also do the same dance. ”
Su Fengjin, who was originally sitting on the pedal, lifted up the hem of his clothes and bowed down, and said loudly: "The grass people don't have the ability to dance together, but they also hope to help His Highness." ”
Suo Ji held her forearm and helped her up, but she felt very slender, and couldn't help frowning, "Why are you still so thin, is your body not good?" ”
"His Royal Highness is also very thin, and his heart must be even more sad."
"I shouldn't care about you, kicking your nose and face is better than anyone else."
Su Fengjin smiled when she saw him, and her heart was much more relaxed, "Your Highness, don't blame, the grass people just want His Highness to be happy and take care of his jade body." ”
"It's hard for you to bother, but don't call yourself a grass man in the future, the minions in this East Palace are all arrogant, how can anyone look like a grass people?"
Suo Ji snorted coldly, he has always been quite generous, it can be seen that this time the minions thought that the East Palace was going to change hands, and they were very high. Dignified and deputy, receiving this insult, Su Fengjin's heart couldn't help but clench.
"By the way, Your Highness, Feng Yi brought some good things to Your Highness." Su Fengjin didn't know why, she had a desire to make Suo Ji happy, but she felt that he was ...... should be protected.
Suo Ji glanced at the food box she had brought over, "Glutinous rice and jujube cake?" ”
"Your Highness has a discerning eye, the entrance has the fragrance of tea, it is delicious." Su Fengjin took a piece and handed it to Suo Ji.
Suo Ji was stunned for a moment, there was something inexplicable in his eyes, and he was about to reach out and take it, but he heard someone shout, "Your Highness, slow ......down."
