Chapter Ninety-Nine: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Emperor Mingwen is a person who cherishes talents, and his eyes when he looked at Chu Yunning were a little more appreciative, and even a little complicated, obscure.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Ordinary people offended the prime minister and the queen, and they were already scared.

But looking at Chu Yunning, there was no fear in his eyes at all.

"Afraid, how can you not be afraid." Chu Yunning can be tough in front of the queen because the queen is just the queen, and there is still room for some things to turn around.

But in front of Emperor Mingwen, Chu Yunning said that he should show weakness and show weakness, because Emperor Mingwen is the lord of a country and has the right to kill.

I can't afford to offend.

Emperor Mingwen raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing her words.

"The minister believes that the emperor is a wise monarch and will not condone the queen's indiscriminate killing of innocents."

Emperor Mingwen smiled: "There is no need to pat on the back. ”

"Every word of the minister is from the bottom of his heart." Chu Yunning silently rolled his eyes in his heart, continued to brag, and continued to grind with his hands.

Remember https://m in a second.

Emperor Mingwen asked again: "How many children do you have any news?" ”

"Everything is fine for the time being."

These concubines are more obedient, and they are guarded by people to eat, drink, live and travel, and they don't do anything, and they don't even go out, which greatly reduces the chance of accidents.

Anyone with a little brain knows it

gave birth to the little prince safely, and the glory and wealth of the second half of the generation were preserved.

As long as a little prince is born in the palace, she can take Beibei to Shudi, and she is excited to think about it.

"Your Majesty, the silver raised by the prime minister and the harem has been delivered." Father-in-law Mo lowered his head and held a box in his hand, which was full of silver tickets, the amount of which was large and small, at least 10 million at a cursory glance.

Emperor Mingwen glanced at it and said, "Gonggong Mo, the proposed will!" ”

"Spread my will, this disaster relief will be handed over to the prime minister of the palace to be fully responsible, if there is a mistake, don't ask him, punish the prime minister first!"

When the words fell, Grandpa Mo was stunned, and then quickly went to announce his will.

...

"Chin this!" After Gonggong Mo read out the holy decree, Prime Minister Gong's face was gloomy and ugly.

According to his original plan, no matter who was in charge of this disaster relief, the five million taels of silver would be returned to his pocket.

But the emperor actually issued an edict.

The sentence of punishing the prime minister first is simply to put his heart on the fire and roast.

Angry and angry, he has been an official for more than 30 years, and has experienced three dynasties, when has he ever been wronged like this?

"Prime Minister Gong, get the order." Mo Gong is fair.

The prime minister of the palace took the holy decree and forcibly held back his anger and said: "The minister accepts the decree!" ”

After thinking about it, he asked unwillingly: "Which minister did the emperor meet again?" ”

He didn't believe that the emperor came up with such attention.

A figure was printed in his mind, and he shook his head, how could this be possible, it was definitely impossible to be a little woman.

"Since the prime minister left the palace, no minister has entered the palace to see the emperor, and the prime minister has been worried."

The palace minister knew that the emperor was hardened in the dark.

"How is the queen now?" Mrs. Gong couldn't help but care about her daughter.

Gonggong Mo hesitated for a moment before saying: "The queen mother is pleading guilty in the Cihe Palace at this moment, and King Xiao's injuries are not light......"

One sentence made Mrs. Gong's face change instantly, and she was annoyed that Queen Gong was confused for a while, how could she hurt King Xiao.

That's the queen mother's heart.

"Mrs. Gong is worried, the Queen Mother said that as long as the prime minister has a meritorious service in disaster relief, she will not bother with the queen." Grandpa Mo said with a smile.

If the disaster relief is wrong, won't the queen be able to save it?

The prime minister of the palace pressed his heart and thought carefully, this is the emperor beating the palace family, but whether the disaster relief is good or bad, he has the final say.

Father-in-law Mo said unhurriedly: "Prime Minister don't worry, you are not alone in this disaster relief, there are other people to help, the emperor has already thought of a disaster relief strategy for you." ”

Prime Minister Gong frowned, he only said in the afternoon that there was a disaster, and now he has come up with a way?

He didn't believe it!

"What disaster relief can the emperor have?"

Prime Minister Gong asked disappreciably.

"Along the way along the digging canals, set up supervision posts in each county, hire the victims who are able to work, and register them, and distribute silver to each person every day, and if something happens to any county, he will be punished for the crime of that county!"

When Gonggong Mo's words fell, Prime Minister Gong frowned.

"By the way, the supervision posts in each county are guarded by the Praetorian Guards, and they rotate every ten days, and report to the emperor every ten days."

When Prime Minister Gong heard this, his brows could be knotted, isn't this trying to force people to death?

Not to mention taking back five million taels of silver, it would be good if he didn't post it upside down.

"This move costs life and money, how could the emperor go to such great lengths to come up with such an idea?"

Although the prime minister said this, his heart was completely conquered by Emperor Mingwen's disaster relief strategy.

"Every year, disaster relief costs a lot of manpower and material resources of the imperial court, and it is not a long-term solution, if the canal is dug, there will be no fear of drought and floods in the future, although it is a bit laborious, but it is once and for all." Gonggong Mo repeated Emperor Mingwen's words.

Prime Minister Gong was speechless, in the past, being responsible for disaster relief was an errand that everyone wanted to do, but now, it is a hot potato, and whoever does it is unlucky.

"Prime Minister, the emperor said that without further ado, let you leave immediately."

Father-in-law Mo raised his hand and asked people to carry the disaster relief money.

A large box, all of which were trivial silver tickets, the angry palace prime minister almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"True Appearance, Command!"

When Gonggong Mo left, Prime Minister Gong's face could not be described as ugly.

"Xiangye, what does the emperor mean?" Mrs. Gong asked.

The palace prime minister was silent for a long time before he said: "There is a Zhuge Liang beside the emperor to help come up with ideas, there is a push order in the front, and there is a canal in the back, which is really not to be underestimated." ”

"Who is this person, he actually dares to go against Xiangye, don't you want to live?"

The palace prime minister snorted coldly: "Who else can there be, isn't it the Chu Yunning of Chu Shang Palace who made trouble with King Xiao and left the city full of wind and rain, and destroyed Yihong Mansion with his own strength, and now enters the palace as the official to hold the phoenix seal!" ”

"She is a small and weak woman, how can she have such a great ability, Xiangye must be mistaken."

The palace lady didn't believe that Chu Yunning had this ability, and she had seen her at the banquet a few years ago, an arrogant and vulgar woman.

The prime minister of the palace was speechless for a while, and today at the gate of the council hall, Chu Yunning was neither humble nor arrogant

stopped in front of the temple, and there was no fear in his eyes.

It's a gesture of knowing everything.

Prime Minister Gong patted his head: "Hurry up and send a letter to the queen's mother, don't offend Chu Shang Palace again." ”

"Xiangye, as for it?"

"The queen is not the opponent of Chu Shang Palace at all, she can only be wooed, and it is not easy to offend."

Not to mention how smart Chu Yunning's brain is, he can't be offended by relying on that ability.

If the queen can endure it, please Chu Yunning, and give birth to a concubine in her thoughts, then she can sit firmly in the back seat.

Otherwise, it is precarious.

The prime minister's exhortation reached the ears of the palace queen word for word.

The palace queen angrily smashed the furnishings in the room, and she was furious, and her heart kept rising and falling.

"The mother of this palace and a country still wants to please her, dreaming!"

The palace queen's eyes were red, and killing intent flashed in the depths of her eyes.

"Niangniang, you can bear with it a little longer, and when you recover your body, it's not too late to get back the phoenix seal and deal with her." The palace maid persuaded.

The palace queen clenched her teeth, she was stupid, she was deceived by the emperor and Chu Yunning together, and coaxed away the phoenix seal in her hand, resulting in the difficulty of moving an inch now and falling into a stalemate.

"This palace knows that from now on, the meat dishes of this palace will be withdrawn, and this palace will have to eat vegetarian food, and pray for the people every day until the end of disaster relief."

The palace queen calmed down, she knew that she couldn't continue to be silent: "You go and pass a message to your father again." ”

"Yes!"

A month later, there was a noticeable change in the effectiveness of the relief.

The reputation of Emperor Ming Wen spread among the people, and at the same time, there were also those who sang the praises of Chu Yunning.

"Chu Shanggong is resourceful, and it is a blessing for the people to be able to come up with such a good disaster relief strategy."

Concubine Mei looked at Chu Yunning with a look of adoration, stretched out her wrist obediently, and continued to gossip: "Mother sent a letter asking the palace to listen more to the Chushang Palace, the water control has just passed through the hometown of the palace, and many people plan to build a temple for the Chushang Palace." ”

When the words fell, Chu Yunning's face changed slightly.

"What's wrong with you in Chu Shanggong, is there something wrong with the fetus in this palace?" Concubine Mei nervously clutched her erect lower abdomen.

Chu Yunning withdrew his hand and shook his head: "The child is fine, how long has it been since Concubine Mei just said?" ”

Concubine Mei was relieved when she heard that the child was fine.

"It's been about ten days since this happened, and many people worship Chu Shang Palace." Concubine Mei said.

Chu Yunning hummed lightly, and after a few words, he went to find Emperor Mingwen.

It's not a good thing for a woman to be too public, especially if she steals the limelight from the emperor and other places, that is a crime that deserves death!

"Chushang Palace, wait a while, the emperor will see the minister inside." Gonggong Mo reminded in a low voice: "Chushang Palace should be careful, the emperor is not in a good mood today." ”

"Thank you Mo's announcement."

After waiting for about an hour, Chu Yunning saw Emperor Mingwen.

Emperor Mingwen's face was really stinky, and he squinted at her: "What's the matter?" ”

Chu Yunning knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Mingwen.

"The emperor is wise, the ministers dare not take the pretence, some people want to frame the ministers, and ask the emperor to make decisions for the ministers."

Emperor Mingwen smiled silently.

"The minister begged the emperor to issue an edict to thoroughly investigate the source of the rumors."

"How do I check it?" Emperor Mingwen said lightly: "These were originally thought of by you, and what the people said is not unreasonable. ”

"Your Majesty, the whole world is your people, it is your duty to share worries for the king, the minister does not dare to trespass, the minister just wants to wait for the time to take Beibei to Shu with peace of mind, and keep to himself for the rest of his life."

Chu Yunning wanted to scold her mother behind her back, she finally got out quickly, and she found out who was scheming behind her back, and she had to pick the other party's skin!

"What is Chu Shanggong panicking, how can I be so stingy and insist on your sincerity."

Emperor Ming Wen took a sip of tea in his hand, and slowly put it down, and the teacup fell on the table with a bang, which was particularly harsh in the silent hall.

Chu Yunning's heart also trembled.

"Your Majesty, the minister's heartfelt world can be learned, and there is no second heart." Chu Yunning swore to the sky, for fear that Emperor Mingwen would think too much, and no emperor in history would want the light of his courtiers to overshadow the king of a country.

Some don't say it, but use it behind their backs.

There are not too many examples of quietly finding a way to kill the courtier's whole family.

Chu Yunning was even more worried that Emperor Mingwen would regret it and refused to let her go to Shu with Beibei.

The heart of the emperor is unpredictable, Chu Yunning scolded the people behind the scenes again in his heart, he is sick!

Emperor Mingwen stared at Chu Yunning's face a few times.

After a long time, Emperor Mingwen said: "

Get up, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, I'm so stingy? ”

"I don't dare."

Emperor Mingwen didn't get angry when he learned about it, and he only knew it when the guards reported it.

"In your opinion, what should I do about this?"

Chu Yunning said bluntly: "In the humble opinion of the minister, we must find the root cause, otherwise there will be endless troubles." ”

Things are getting bigger and bigger, and there must be one of the unlucky people!

Chu Yunning didn't dare to guarantee that Emperor Mingwen had no murderous intentions all along.

Emperor Mingwen listened patiently, and raised his chin: "Go on." ”

"The emperor ordered the prime minister to be punished before, although the prime minister was not at fault, but this rumor seriously affected the emperor's reputation, and the ministers ...... The minister has a reluctant request. ”

Chu Yunning boldly suggested: "The minister thinks that he can increase his efforts." ”

Emperor Mingwen raised his eyebrows: "You mean to continue to pour dirty water on the top of my head and force the prime minister to find the source?" ”

When things get bigger, the palace prime minister can be involved.

If Prime Minister Gong doesn't want to admit his guilt, he can only calm down the rumors.

Emperor Ming Wen and Chu Yunning are like mirrors in their hearts, and the source of this matter is the palace prime minister.

"Chu Shang Palace, do you know that my reputation over the years has not been easy to come by, and I am also a person who cherishes feathers."

Emperor Mingwen was obviously a little reluctant, he didn't want to be recorded in the history books as an incompetent and cowardly king.

Chu Yunning gritted his teeth and changed his strategy again.

"You still need to tie the bell to unlock the bell, so you can only report it one by one."

Prime Minister Gong has a good way of disaster relief, reputation and prestige, as long as the limelight overshadows her, the sky will fall and there will be a high top.

Emperor Mingwen squinted at Chu Yunning: "Are you sure that the prime minister will compromise on this?" ”

Listening to his tone, it was encouraging her to increase her chips.

Chu Yunning immediately said: "The minister thinks that there is something wrong in the harem, maybe it is a harbinger of disaster." ”

"I've left the matter of the harem to you, so you don't have to ask about it anymore."

Emperor Mingwen means, you can do whatever you want.

Chu Yunning immediately nodded: "The minister's order." ”

At night, there seemed to be a ghost fire lingering in Fengyi Palace, and the palace people who came and went saw it, and they surrounded the palace wall one by one.

"What's that?"

"It's like a shadow!"

"How can there be the shadow of a noble person on the palace wall?"

A few palace people who passed by Fengyi Palace on errands were so frightened that they screamed at first glance at the palace wall.

The news spread early the next morning, and there was a lot of uproar.

"Mother, something happened."

The palace queen frowned: "It must be Chu Yunning who is doing ghosts behind his back, how can he dare to calculate to the head of this palace!" ”

"Niangniang, many people in the harem have seen it, what should I do now."

When she went to fetch her meal in the morning, no one would avoid her when they saw her.

The queen of the palace took a deep breath: "Hmph, don't think that the carving insect skills can make the palace how, the palace is ......"

"Niangniang, Chu Shang Palace brought someone here, who is going to get rid of the evil spirits." The little eunuch hurriedly ran in to report.

The palace queen was stunned: "He dares!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Chu Yunning came in with people, followed by more than a dozen monks.

There was also a palace maid with a wooden bucket in her hand, and she sprinkled something on the ground with a spoon, and when she got closer, it was blood!
