Wenying Hall is located on the east side of the palace city, as the bedroom of Emperor Tianyou, and naturally it is also the real center of the Chu State.

At this time, in the dead of night, the doors of the other palaces had been locked, the palace gate leading to the Privy Council to the east of the Wenying Hall was still open, and more than a dozen brocade guards were still standing outside the main hall.

Shen He sat in the small hall outside the second door with a whisk in his arms, although he was not yet fifty, but his energy obviously did not feel as good as before, even if he had made up for sleep during the day, but it was only the second watch at this time, he felt that his eyelids were soft and weak when he sat down, and he could sleep at any time.

Shen He, as a young eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, really wanted to hide and take a nap for a while, even if His Majesty knew that he would not blame him, but Shen He still stuffed two green thorns into the soles of his shoes, so that when he was tired and relaxed, the burrs of the green thorns could wake him up.

"Is this a bastard?"

Hearing the suppressed dissatisfaction and scolding from the inside, Shen He woke up in shock, he didn't know what was going on, he didn't care about taking out the green thorn on the sole of his shoe, and trotted into the inner hall with his feet, and saw the formidable burly figure under the copper candle lamp, who was throwing a piece of music to the corner of the table.

"What's annoying Your Majesty?" Shen He asked with a smile when he saw that His Majesty was just annoyed by the letter and nothing else.

"Han Daoxun wrote that the hungry people in the four cities blocked the road, which hindered the view, and suggested that Jingzhao Mansion drive out the hungry people - what kind of bastard do you say this, is this an unsightly thing, really let him compile a book in Hongwenguan, and make up a fool?" The burly figure raised his head under the lamp and showed Shen He the letter on the corner of the case.

Han Daoxun's letter is only three or four hundred words, and it is very inconvenient for the hungry people to be expelled.

"Young Eunuch Han may have something inconvenient to say to Your Majesty, right?" Shen He guessed.

Shen He had contact with Han Wenhuan, the old squire of the Ministry of War, and he was an old fox, but he had not had much contact with Han Daoxun.

He only knew that last year, the privy deputy envoy, the scholar of the Wenying Palace, and the decree Wang Jixiong and the crown prince were not on good terms, and he was seriously ill and difficult to take on state affairs, so he was bent on going, and before Wang Jixiong returned to his hometown, His Majesty asked Wang Jixiong to recommend officials from the state and county to enter the court, and this Han Daoxun was the first person recommended by Wang Jixiong.

It's just that Han Wenhuan's eldest son Han Daoming has just been attacked and promoted to Chizhou Assassin History, Han Daoxun has very little experience in the DPRK, and he was transferred to the DPRK, and the Privy Council was examined for merit, and he was made up to Hongwenguan as a secretary and a young eunuch.

When Wang Jixiong left Jinling, Shen He was ordered to see him off.

Wang Jixiong's descendants all died in the war, and only the young Sun Queen Jun accompanied him, with five carts and bags, and nothing else except poetry and books.

Shen He thought that he would never be able to do what Wang Jixiong would be like in this life, but he believed that Wang Jixiong would not recommend Han Daoxun casually, and Anning Palace shoehorned Han Daoxun's son to the third prince, probably seeing this, right?

It's just that Wang Jixiong resigned and left Beijing to recommend the letter, and was summoned by His Majesty to Wenying Hall to talk for more than an hour, when Shen He was sent out, and no palace official was present, and no one knew what Wang Jixiong talked about with His Majesty, nor did he know how Wang Jixiong introduced Han Daoxun to His Majesty.

"Is there anything else to hide and tuck, if you can't talk to me? Do you want me to rack my brains to guess the dumb riddles he left behind? Emperor Tianyou said angrily.

Sometimes he didn't know the caution of the people below, but sometimes it was exactly the same thing, and it still annoyed him—it made him feel that as the king of a country, he was inevitably trapped in a net that he couldn't break free from.

"Your Majesty really wants to know what is going on in his heart, summon him to the palace tomorrow, or send someone out of the palace to summon him at this time?" Shen He said, carefully handing the finished recital to the corner of the table.

"What is there to summon?" Emperor Tianyou waved his hand and said, "Han Daoxun didn't say it thoroughly, but think about it, where is there a place in Jianghuai where hundreds of thousands of hungry people can be placed?" ”

"......" Shen He knew at this time that His Majesty was not annoyed that Han Daoxun was not smart, but that Han Daoxun was too smart.

Shouzhou, led by Xu Mingzhen, the uncle of the country, has always been the main battlefield of the Chu-Liang rivalry, which has also led to the serious loss of Dingkou in Shouzhou, and it is really necessary to drive away hundreds of thousands of hungry people from the vicinity of Jinling, and Shouzhou is the largest resettlement place.

In addition to Shouzhou, even Chuzhou has been peaceful for many years without war, and the land has its owner, where is there a place to settle these hungry people?

Han Daoxun inexplicably played such a twist at this time, it turned out that he wanted to curry favor with the side of Anning Palace!

However, Shen He thought about something again, and felt that something was wrong.

I heard that the water plague outside the four cities is very strong, and there are two or three out of ten hungry people who are infected, so Han Daoxun's intention in this letter is to drive these hungry people to Shouzhou, is it a blessing or a curse for Shouzhou?

Shen He peeked at Emperor Tianyou, thinking that His Majesty should not know about this situation, but thinking of which side Han Daoxun supported, he didn't figure it out, and some things really couldn't be said casually.

Otherwise, he will talk about it, and he really doesn't know which side to please or which side he has offended, and it is not easy to mix up the confused account!

"Stay!" Emperor Tianyou didn't want to call Han Daoxun over to be angry, so he directly concluded the fate of this letter, but he didn't approve it, and he didn't hand it over to the courtiers below for discussion.

…………

…………

Han Qian didn't know what Emperor Tianyou would think after seeing his father's exorcism of hunger and people, but since there was no rumor in the palace, it meant that this letter was "left in the middle", or it was definitely not handed to Emperor Tianyou.

Han Qian wished for this in his heart, and secretly felt that his father should be depressed for a while, so that he could continue to mess around in the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, and there was no need to take out the unpredictable "Epidemic Water Shu" to take risks!

On the day of the winter solstice, it was cold and snowy.

Shen Yang contracted the wind and cold, and took leave for two days in a row, and Han Qian only went to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion at noon every day.

On the day of the winter solstice, Han Qian first hurried out of the city to the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard, in addition to rewarding the soldiers and young people who stayed in the villa with winter clothes and other items to keep out the cold and festivals, he also took the initiative to send a bag of rice and noodles to each of the tenants of the grange; also prepared additional gifts, and sent Fan Xicheng to the homes of Lizheng Zhang Qian and county lieutenant Liu Yuan, and only at noon, accompanied by Fan Dahei, Zhao Wuji, and Lin Haizheng, rushed back to the city first, and went to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion to respond to Mao.

Han Qian led the horses away with Fan Dahei, walked into the Hou Mansion and thought about begging for a stutter first, and then going to the arrow field to practice riding arrows. Several guards stood in the front yard and spoke, and when they saw him walking in, they kept silent, Han Qian felt that the atmosphere was very strange, and when he saw Feng Yi, he grabbed him and asked, "What happened?" ”

"You don't know?" Feng Yi asked strangely.

Seeing Feng Yi ask, Han Qian's scalp was faintly numb, today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, and the officials and generals above the fifth grade in Beijing will enter the palace to participate in the deliberations, his father and son got up just after the time to change clothes, pushed the door and saw that the courtyard was covered with a thick layer of snow, and sighed continuously......

"Today, in the Great Dynasty, your father asked Your Majesty to drive away the hungry people in the four cities in front of the civil and military ministers in the Qihua Palace, and to purify Gyeonggi, which provoked Your Majesty's anger and drove your father out of the Qihua Palace on the spot, and also held your father accountable for his gaffe with the Yushitai. I thought you knew about it. Feng Yi said.

When Han Qian first entered Jinling City, he had the same smell as Feng Yi; In the past two or three months, Han Qian wanted to make up for the wasted time in the past, and he didn't go out with Feng Yi much, but when he was free at the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, he taught Feng Yi a little trick of playing, so that Feng Yi had the opportunity to go out and kill the Quartet, and the relationship between the two naturally became more and more intimate.

Han Daoxun encountered this incident today, and Feng Yi was also very worried about Han Qian.

"Every time I go out of the city, there is a mess along the road, so that people think that our Great Chu Country is ruined, and the emperor is faint and mediocre, so I should be driven out a long time ago." Kong Xirong said in an urn voice.

Kong Xirong and Feng Yi, the two guys who "why don't you eat minced meat", naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with driving the hungry people out of the four cities, Han Qian just smiled bitterly.

He entered the city from the villa, the time was in a hurry, and he didn't go back to rest his feet, so he came directly to Jianghou Mansion, where did he know that he was really a tendon, seeing that it was useless to play a break some time ago, and today he actually went directly to the court meeting?

In order to maintain the state, the imperial court was extremely harsh from the people, and naturally had no spare strength to take care of the hungry people, but Emperor Tianyou was still a person who wanted to be faceless and cared about historical evaluation.

His father directly admonished at the court meeting today, persuading Emperor Tianyou to drive away the hungry people in the four cities, isn't this a slap in the face of Emperor Tianyou?

However, Emperor Tianyou was furious, and directly drove his father out of the Qihua Palace, and asked the Yushitai to investigate the responsibility of his father's gaffe, Han Qian was a little surprised.

Han Qian's head was as big as numbness, and he wanted to find Guo Rong and the third prince Yang Yuanpu to take leave, and go back to the house to see the situation first, but as soon as he stepped out of the study hall of the east courtyard, he saw Li Chong walking over from the west courtyard with a gloomy face.

"Your father is also known as a good official in Guangling, and today he is in the court to expel the hungry people, where do you want to go?" Li Chong asked.

"......" Han Qian was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Li Chong to meet in a questioning tone, not gloating, and I don't know where he offended Li Chong, the mourning star?

"Your father is so caring for Shouzhou, you didn't notice it beforehand?" Seeing that Han Qian didn't pay attention to him, Li Chong blocked the way and asked.

Han Qian also wanted to say that his father was thinking about Shouzhou, but seeing that Li Chong was still indignant, a thought suddenly flashed: Emperor Tianyou is in Qihua Hall today, unusually angry, is it the same as Li Chong, and mistakenly thinks that his father wants to drive the hungry people outside Jinling City to Shouzhou this time?

The hungry people outside Jinling City, part of them were the displaced people who fled south in the early years of the chaotic war in the Central Plains region, and some of them were refugees who invaded the south of the Liang State and fled the war from the Jianghuai region.

If the spread of the water Gu plague cannot be effectively controlled, and these hungry people outside Jinling City are forcibly driven to Shouzhou, six or seven hundred miles away, to be resettled, I am afraid that nearly half of the people will not be able to support it.

And because of this, the world's understanding of the water plague is quite shallow, and no one dares to easily accept the infected and hungry people, so as not to spread the hungry people in their territory and harm the locality.

Even if his father directly suggested that all the infected and hungry people be driven to Shouzhou, Shouzhou would not be able to accept it casually.

How could Emperor Tianyou mistakenly think that this was the intention of his father's admonition?

And Li Chong's menacing appearance seems to be iron-hearted that his father is intimate for the sake of Shouzhou?

"Epidemic Water Sparse" has not yet come out, who in the world would think that forcing hundreds of thousands of hungry people to Shouzhou is a great benefit and no serious disadvantage?

Could it be that the Heavenly Blessed Emperor, who is high above, doesn't know the truth about the water Gu plague spreading among the hungry people outside the city, so he is so angry?
