It was June, and the heat was unbearable all over the empire, and in some places some people had already died of heat. All localities submitted the memorabilia to the imperial court and asked how to deal with it.

At this moment, the man in the dragon robe was still in the small study, facing this large pile of twists and turns, even he couldn't help but rub his head. He looked at the eunuch next to him, who lowered his head, obviously unable to come up with a solution.

"Father-in-law Liu, what do you think about this matter?" But the man in the dragon robe seemed to be puzzled, and still pointed to the old eunuch.

The eunuch Bingbi looked up at the emperor, his eyes dodged, and he shook his head after being entangled for a while.

"I said Gonggong Liu, you are so old, you have been with the first emperor for more than ten years, and you have been with me for four or five years, not to mention how many twists and turns you have approved for me, how many ideas you have come up with, let's just say that you have followed the first emperor's side, why have you learned a lot of things, why is it so difficult for you to come up with an idea this time?" said the emperor helplessly.

The eunuch Bingbi said unhurriedly: "Back to the emperor, the old slave really doesn't know how to deal with it, the local size problem is really not what I'm good at, if you ask me about the character of the Chinese martial arts official, evaluation, I can give you ideas, but if you just asked these questions, the old slave will never know, you can spare the old slave!"

The man in the dragon robe smiled: "Oh, what about your evaluation of Ouyang Shoufu?"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, just let the old slave go, how can Shoufu be evaluated by me?"

"Alright, I won't make fun of you. Has anything happened in the capital recently?" the man in the dragon robe suddenly said seriously.

Eunuch Bingbi thought for a while and said, "Back to the emperor, there are no major things, they are all small things. If the emperor is interested in hearing which prince beat the son of which Shangshu during this time, or which innocent woman of which family was occupied by the son of which squire, the old slave can talk to you in detail for a few hours. ”

The man in the dragon robe laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that the dignified master of ceremonies Bingbi would also joke? ”

"I remember, lately, there really was something. The eunuch Bingbi suddenly said in a straight voice.

"Oh? ”

"The eagle came to report, and the scholar from Nanchen fourteen years ago seems to have reappeared. Eunuch Bingbi said in a low voice.

The man in the dragon robe was slightly stunned and asked, "Is that the one who seriously injured General Chu?"

As he spoke, the eunuch Bingbi got up to polish the ink for the emperor, and whispered: "Well, it's the old man, it is rumored that he was also seriously injured back then, and he couldn't even recover, and then ran to Taihe Mountain to live on one of the peaks. I haven't shown up for fourteen years, maybe it's just hiding from us. ”

"Hiding from us? It's better to avoid General Chu, that battle was quite damaging to General Chu's state of mind. It seems that General Chu has been looking for him since his injuries healed in the past few years, Taihe Mountain has been to several times, but unfortunately he has not even entered the back mountain once. The Emperor sighed.

"How can there be such a good entry in the mountains behind Taihe Mountain? Not to mention that there is now Yangping Zhenren, who is fifth on the Taoist list, is the little uncle who is now in the limelight, and I heard that his strength is also unfathomable. The old eunuch said in a flat tone.

"Little uncle?" The emperor was obviously not very familiar with these rivers and lakes.

"It is the junior disciple of Yangping Zhenren, who is only more than twenty years old, but he was accepted as a closed disciple by the former Heavenly Master, and he is extremely talented. The eunuch replied patiently.

However, the man in the dragon robe was not very interested in these things, and he just said "oh" and disappeared. Obviously, he was more concerned about the dean of Nanchen Academy, and asked, "Where did the dean of the academy appear?" I am still more concerned about this issue, and after finding out his location, I will tell General Chu, and then pick some powerful ones from the eagle's side, and let them follow General Chu and bring the old man back together, whether they can kill or not." ”

The emperor suddenly paused again, thought for a while and said: "Forget it, I also know General Chu's character, and I will definitely not let the eagle follow him, so don't call the eagle, just tell General Chu directly." ”

The eunuch Bingbi looked at the emperor with a wry smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't heard the old slave say where he appeared. ”

The man in the dragon robe smiled slightly and said, "Well, it doesn't matter, as long as he is on my territory, it's all the same, it's all the same." ”

"The whole world is my royal land, just the president of Nanchen Academy. ”

"No matter how great your ability is, it is bigger than my 200,000 iron horses?"

"Back to the emperor, that place is small, and it can't accommodate 200,000 iron horsemen. Eunuch Bingbi smiled, "Your Majesty, the last time he appeared was in Gusuzhou..."

When the man in the dragon robe heard this, he obviously didn't expect it, and said, "Why are these things all together? How can there be such a coincidence?"

"That's right, the emperor, so I also feel strange, why as soon as the second prince went to Gusuzhou, Gusuzhou suddenly came to such inexplicable and wonderful people, if it weren't for the fact that there was someone in our eagle who knew the old man, I'm afraid that even if the dean opened another academy in Gusuzhou, we wouldn't know. The old eunuch said helplessly.

"You say, will he come for Chengde?" the emperor asked.

"It's not impossible, even if you don't come for the second prince, what if it's for that young man..."Eunuch Bingbi suddenly whispered.

"Not really, if you want to rush it, you would have come to that young man earlier, why wait until today?" the emperor vetoed.

"But what if he didn't appear in Gusuzhou recently?"

"Maybe he's been deliberately letting us find out lately?"

The eunuch Bingbi asked a few questions in a row, and the man in the dragon robe picked his head again.

"You can check it out again. The emperor thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, when will General Chu be notified?" the old eunuch asked again.

"Wait. ”

You have to be patient to achieve great things, I have survived the imperial brothers, those princes, and the first emperor.

Who am I afraid I won't be able to survive?

At the same time, there was a group of people in a small house in front of the palace.

The small house is not big, but the gold content is not small, and many people want to come in every year, but unfortunately they have not been able to do so.

Even if someone is lucky enough to find the right way in, they will be kicked out again within a few days. Even after being kicked out, it was almost never reused, either to the frontier or to other places. In short, there is no good result, and over time, those who are incapable of becoming officials, even if they have a way to enter, will cry and say don't transfer him in.

But there are always a few people who want to feel it every year.

The fat man with a red face and a loud slap on the table was one of them, named Qin Luwei. He was only transferred to this small house in March this year, but a few months have passed, and now his life does not seem to be easy.

Today, the people in this small house are discussing the recent drought of varying degrees in various places, and even the phenomenon of people dying of heat. Qin Luwei thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of some methods, so that he had a chance to play it today, so he talked a lot about it.

However, no one else in the room listened to him, and still chatted on his own.

What made him most angry was that they were talking about inconsequential topics, what general's daughter was going to get married, help think about which family's son was better, what Shangshu was about to retire again, and discussed which one to recommend.

If the fat man can still understand the position, but he saw that these people were still busy being "matchmakers", he was angry for a while, and he vented the resentment in his heart during this time on the table, so he blushed and slapped the table.

The gray-bearded old man sitting in the second chair on the right hand side stared at him like this, and the others also turned their heads to stare at Qin Luwei. He suddenly felt a little out of his mind, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry everyone. I was anxious for a while, and I wanted to do something practical for the people of Limin, but I didn't control it..."The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, so small that he couldn't hear it.

The middle-aged man standing in the corner looked at Qin Luwei with a smile and said with a smile: "I heard what Scholar Qin meant, we haven't done practical things for the people?"

Qin Luwei suddenly realized that there was something wrong with what he said just now, so he saved it again: "Don't dare, I mean we all think about the people, but the problems we are anxious to consider are different, I think the top priority is to think about how to solve the drought, this weather is so hot, how can the people stand it?"

"I think what you said makes sense, so what should you do?" said the white-bearded old man as he looked at Qin Luwei.

Qin Luwei cleared his throat and said loudly: "First, I think that our imperial court must open the treasury and distribute materials to the drought-stricken areas of the country, and solve the urgent task first. The high temperature in various places must reduce the output of grain crops sharply, and it must be accompanied by famine, so it is necessary to open the granaries and distribute supplies together. When he had finished speaking, he looked at the crowd again, and when they did not speak, he said, "Second, I suggest that a large number of people should be relocated to the areas where the drought is severe, and that they should be moved to areas where the disaster is not so severe, and then return when the disaster has passed." ”

"Go on. The white-bearded old man motioned to continue.

"Third, report the disaster to the emperor and ask the emperor if he can hold a sacrificial ceremony and ask the sky for rain to bless my Yuanqing. ”

Qin Luwei finished speaking three points in one breath, and felt a lot more comfortable in his heart.

Originally, he thought that these three points would be knocked back one by one, but he didn't expect that there would be silence in the small study.

He seemed to have some uneasiness in his heart.

Could it be that the measures I'm talking about are very problematic?

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of stroking his hands in the room.

"Congratulations, Scholar Qin, you can stay in the hut for a while longer, and you're doing well. The middle-aged man who had been in the corner stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said something inexplicable to him.

"Take a look, Scholar Qin, except for the third point, what you said is quite right. Another thin, long-bearded man handed him a notebook.

It contains almost everything he has to say, and is even much more complete than him.

What's going on?

Is this an assessment?

Worthy of the cabinet.

It's the man's cabinet.
