Chapter 42: To Each His Own Thing

"Didn't think about it." Yoyo shook his head and said, "It's useless to think about it, it's better not to think about it." I heard that the imperial grandmother gave you three years? ”

Three years of marquis is not easy to say. Sigh silently.

Zhang Ning nodded: "Yes." ”

Yoyo didn't speak, didn't know what to think, and his very bright eyes gradually dimmed.

"Don't worry, I can do it." Although Zhang Ning's voice was low, his tone was firm. This sentence he said to both Yoyo and himself.

Youyou was moved in his heart, but he couldn't bear to carry too much, opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything.

What can be said? It's not appropriate to say anything.

When a quarter of an hour was almost up, Zhang Ning took advantage of Youyou's lack of attention, quietly took off the jade pendant, covered it with his sleeve, and put it in his sleeve pocket. I thought that Youyou didn't find out, but I didn't think about her and said, "Where is your jade pendant?" But it's gone? Pothos, help Zhang Gongzi find it. ”

Since he was tricked by Zhang Ning to untie the ropes of his hands and feet that day, and he was deceived into going to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and after returning to the mansion to be punished, Luluo hated Zhang Ning. The master didn't dare to disobey the order, but the reluctance was very obvious, so he just stood there and said, "Where did the son drop the jade pendant?" ”

"No need." Zhang Ning waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's just a piece of jade pendant, if you lose it, you lose it, it's not worth anything." ”

Indeed, it's just a piece of jade pendant. Yoyo didn't say anything more, and the pothos looked away, too lazy to take care of this unobtrusive bastard.

Zhang Ning will not worry about the pothos, and he will not lose his identity.

Don't always pay attention to the hour, Zhang Ning relaxed a little, drank tea and laughed with Youyou, and left after an hour.

…………

Zhu Qizhen went to Cishou Palace to greet the imperial grandmother, walked halfway, remembered something, stopped and said: "I go over first, you go back and get some rose cakes and send them." ”

Today's rose cake is fragrant and glutinous, presumably the imperial grandmother likes it.

Jia Xiaosi promised to go back, turned a corner, and happened to meet Zhang Fu and other five ministers who went to Cishou Palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager, so they avoided the road and saluted.

Zhang Fu is at the forefront. As a military general, he has always been accustomed to taking great strides, unlike civil officials. When he saw Jia Xiaosi from afar, not only did he not slow down, but walked faster, and the distance between him and Yang Shiqi and the other four people behind him was widened.

When Kankan passed by Jia Xiaosi on the side of the road, his right thumb and index finger circled in a circle.

Jia Xiaosi's eyes shrank, and his head was slightly invisible.

The four ministers in the back, Sanyang discussed the government while walking, Hu Tong was old, his eyes were very bright, even if he was a veteran spy, he couldn't find the small movements between the two.

The five of them and Zhu Qizhen entered the Cishou Palace with their front and back feet, and after seeing the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, the Empress Dowager sat down.

At this hour every day, five people will come to report on political affairs, and the emperor will come to say goodbye, and by the way, he will observe. Yes, to sit in and learn about government affairs.

Yang Shiqi was the first to speak, and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, it has rained heavily in many places in Gu'an and Zhuoxian for several days, and the disaster is serious, please provide immediate relief." ”

The victims of the disaster could not wait, and disaster relief was the most urgent, so he proposed it first.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen said: "This morning, Yang Qing reported the matter, and his grandson was approved." In other words, this matter has already been discussed in the early dynasty, and it is brought up again now to solicit the opinion of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager smiled grimly and said, "That's very good." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Niangniang." After Yang Shiqi finished speaking, he sat up straight and looked ahead.

Several of them have been his colleagues for decades, so how can it not be clear that what he has to say has been said? Yang Rong continued: "It's just that there is not much silver left in the treasury, and the minister asks His Majesty to issue an edict that the county orders in these places will first release grain for disaster relief." ”

In other words, the local government's grain stocks are used.

The Empress Dowager said: "The mourning family is a woman's family, how can you understand this lot?" Zhu Qing consulted on his own. ”

Whenever there is a difficult thing to decide, you say that you are a woman. You are a woman, but you have once set up an emperor. Hu Tong slandered.

When Zhu Qizhen was still the crown prince, there were rumors in the palace that he was not born by Sun Guifei, that is, the current Empress Dowager Sun, but by the palace maid, and the position of the prince was very unstable. After the death of the first emperor, rumors of summoning the vassal king to Beijing to succeed to the throne were all over the sky, and it was the empress dowager who made a decision that Zhu Qizhen successfully ascended the throne.

Yang Rong said: "Yes." ”

We discussed on the way to Cishou Palace, and this is the only way to resettle the victims as soon as possible.

A torrential rain caused disasters in many places, but the state treasury could not use silver taels to buy food and resettle the victims. If only Zhang Ning could open the textile factory quickly. Zhu Qizhen is even more eager to hope that Zhang Ning will do what he said, to achieve industrial income, although he does not understand many of the new terms he said in his speech, but as long as he can receive taxes and have silver, what does it matter?

Zhu Qizhen sighed lightly in his heart and said, "Just let it go." ”

Yang Rong said a few other government affairs, and said that after speaking, Yang Pu spoke. He is a low-key man, always the last to speak.

After talking about government affairs, Zhang Fu said some military affairs, Hu Tong, as the head of the secret service, most of the time he handed over the secret fold, and he said very little at the small court meeting, and he didn't say anything this time. He is easy going and easy to deal with.

After discussing political affairs, Jia Xiaosi sent rose cake in. He went to the Qianqing Palace to fetch it, and when he saw that there was a discussion inside, he didn't dare to come in, so he kept waiting outside.

The pink rose cake makes people very appetizing. Zhang Fu and the others had a hidden smile in their eyes, not a rare rose cake, but a relief for the emperor's filial piety.

After the ministers finished eating the rose cake, Zhang Fu and the others said goodbye and left.

Zhu Qizhen did not go back immediately, but accompanied the Empress Dowager to talk. At this time, the palace maid reported that the lord of Anding County came.

Yoyo is very attentive, and often pinches when the ministers leave after discussing political affairs.

The Empress Dowager smiled: "This child is a blessed one, but there is only one piece left for her." ”

When the food was divided just now, one piece per person, there happened to be one piece left in the food box, but she came. Rose cake is nothing, and the emperor's filial piety is very different.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Jia Xiaosi, who was standing with his head bowed outside, and thought, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence, right?

While talking, you came in and saluted.

The Empress Dowager changed her grim appearance just now, and smiled kindly: "Ah, there is a piece of rose cake here, you can eat it." ”

Isn't this what I made after I made improvements to the Imperial Dining Room? Youyou didn't say anything, his eyes were full of smiles, and he said, "Thank you Grandmother." ”

"Your Majesty honors me. I'll leave you a piece. The Empress Dowager's tone like a child begging for merit made Zhu Qizhen and Youyou laugh.

"Grandmother Huang loves me the most." You said and handed the rose cake to Zhu Qizhen: "Do you want the imperial brother to eat it?" ”

"He's eaten, it's yours." The Empress Dowager obviously loved her granddaughter a little more, and said, "Your Majesty, go and deal with government affairs." ”

Zhu Qizhen said helplessly: "The imperial grandmother is so partial. "When you have a granddaughter, you dislike your grandson.
