The queen sat quietly at the table, looking at her not outstanding face in the mirror, someone was giving her careful makeup, combing her hair, inserting a solemn and precious beaded phoenix hairpin, and changing into a red dress. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Rongde Xiao Lori didn't understand too much, and said with a finger in her hand: "Mother, now there is a catastrophe in Jiangnan, and everyone in the palace is wearing plain clothes, I heard people say that this period should not be festive, otherwise people will gossip." Why are you wearing red? ”

The queen mother touched her little head and said: "Mother knows, but we just want to celebrate, because I have a hunch that Pork Ping's newspaper is about to enter Beijing." ”

"Could it be that after Gao Fangping was killed, we should be happy, aren't we with him?" Emperor Rongde said curiously.

"Definitely." The queen said, "It's because my mother knows that pork will survive the crisis, and the locust plague incident is no exception, and there will still be a big turn." ”

Rongde little Lori thought for a while and said: "Isn't it that my mother has inside information, news can be sold for money, we can sell news or bet to make a profit...... Yikes. ”

I was almost beaten to tears by a violent shudder.

The queen shook her head slightly and said: "My mother doesn't know any inside information, I don't understand if I'm a woman, I always only rely on it." But I simply think that historically speaking, Xiao Gao has never been defeated since his rise, he is a person who really has the ability to turn decay into magic, everyone needs to have faith, I believe he will have a way. With his obscenity and treachery, it is impossible for him not to know the consequences of concealing such a big matter from the imperial court. So my mother thought that there was only one explanation for this matter: the reason why he didn't report it was because he was sure to bear it, so that in the end it would form a subversive effect and make the officials trust him further. ”

"My mother is so smart, I am so like my mother, I am relieved." Emperor Rongde said: "But why did you make Zhao Dasha so stupid, what were you doing at that time!" ”

This time, I was slapped in the back of the head and cried......

In mid-August, the semi-annual pilgrimage was held as scheduled.

Before this, Zhao Ji was annoyed enough, and there were rumors of locust plagues everywhere, rumors about Gao Fangping, including the palace. At first, Zhao Ji didn't care about it, but after all, he was a soft ear, and if he listened too much, he would be slowly affected, and he was full of doubts about it, and he didn't dare to go to court. Fortunately, the only jubilant thing in the palace during this period was the queen's territory, and the queen sometimes came to comfort Zhao Ji not to think too much, saying that rumors were just rumors.

Zhao Ji doesn't want to see anyone recently, but it is the rule of the ancestors to see the court, and he can't hide from it, and he must listen to the semi-annual government work report.

The door of the main hall was opened, and hundreds of officials entered the court.

When the eunuchs were singing, the emperor was in the court, and the officials were angry, but the hall was unusually quiet, and it seemed that everyone had prepared countless speeches, planning to meet in this court and summarize it well.

Cai Jing looks in bad spirits, and I don't know if it's because he's too old.

The only Zhongshu waiter who will stand tall is empty, and Uncle Zhang did not appear in the court, which made Zhao Ji even more headache, Lao Zhang didn't let Zhao Ji be happy most of the time, but sometimes it was useful, because he would generally resist the remarks of the scholars and doctors to Xiao Gao.

"Your Majesty!"

"Everyone, love Qing Ping."

After that, everyone got up and went back to their places.

"Why didn't Uncle Zhang arrive at the palace at night, and also, did Xiao Gaoqing's newspaper enter Beijing?" Zhao Ji opened his voice first.

Cai Jing responded: "Back to Your Majesty, the newspaper on Jiangnan East Road has not yet entered Beijing. As for Uncle Zhang, he happened to be out of the city at night and did not take leave of the minister. ”

Uncle Zhang picked a son at night to ask Cai Jing for leave, but in fact, of course, he has a lot of freedom at which level, and no one will stare at him for attendance.

"Your Majesty, in view of the fact that all kinds of rumors are now rampant, and the imperial court still does not know the specific situation of Jiangnan East Road, disasters have occurred for two consecutive years, in order to prevent convenience, the minister suggests that important ministers should be immediately sent to Jiangnan East Road to supervise, so as to be well informed." Zhang Kegong came out to play.

"The minister thinks that this is useless, so what can he do if he sends people? If the locust plague is a foregone conclusion, it will be a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, and sending some untimely people to blindly command will undermine Gao Fangping's effective policy. In fact, last year's flood has already illustrated the problem, and no one should be able to do better than Gao Fangping to comfort the victims, not a single one. Zhang Shangying retorted.

"But Gao Fangping can be punished, and he sorted out the locust plague situation into a document to report to the court, and he failed to do such a simple thing, how can he still make His Majesty and the court trust him?" Zhang Ke is fair.

Zhang Shangying said angrily: "You old thing has crooked ears, right, I didn't say that Gao Fangping did the right thing, but in fact, there is no official newspaper now." You didn't even figure out what it was, and you started to use the word "heart-reprehensible"? Tell me well, who is the heart to blame? ”

In the face of Zhang Kegong's opening of the way, Zhang Shangying's wordplay counterattacked, so the war of words officially began, and the entire Chaoshang was instantly drowned in saliva, and all kinds of reports and official impeachment remarks unfolded, becoming chaotic.

This kind of situation is definitely something that Zhao Ji has never seen, and it is a bit of a sense that he can't control the court.

So Zhao Ji was also startled and panicked, and Uncle Zhang was not there at night in helplessness, Zhao Ji had to look at Cai Jing complainingly, and the meaning of blame was very strong.

Zhao Ji doesn't need to understand too much, in fact, in his concept, Cai Jing, the prime minister, is to help him control the group of officials, so that they don't have to come to the emperor's trouble, just find the prime minister. However, Lao Cai has become more and more powerless at this point, and he is even inferior to Uncle Zhang.

When Zhao Ji was embarrassed and worried, Uncle Zhang entered the main hall with a copy of Jiangnan East Road in his hand.

Without waiting for Uncle Zhang to confess that it was too late, Zhao Ji asked first: "Zhang Qing is worried about the country and the people, I am very optimistic about you, is there good news this time?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister really has some good news, Jiangnan East Road has arrived. Because he was worried that the process would be delayed and his majesty would not be able to know, so that he would make a wrong decision in the court, so the minister went to wait outside the city for 800 miles of Jiang Lu to expedite, and after getting it, he reviewed it on the road, and then rushed to inform His Majesty. Lao Zhang said with a smile.

Hearing Lao Zhang say this, and then seeing Lao Zhang's usual conspiracy theory with a smile, the court instantly quieted down, basically as long as you are not an idiot to save it, you know that the reversal is about to start, maybe this time another group of people will be pitted by Pork Ping's scheme.

As a result, many witty people who had not yet had time to report the impeachment document secretly put the impeachment document in their sleeves, pretending that no such thing had happened.

Damn, according to convention, although Da Song is allowed to speak, he can be irresponsible when he speaks. But it was in the usual nave.

Now it is the great court, the court in front of the emperor to hand in the situation, the emperor can not ignore it, but at the same time, it also means that the person who writes the fold is responsible, if the things discussed, the things that make the emperor embarrassed, are finally slapped in the face, and Cai Jing and Uncle Zhang will seize the opportunity in the night, a "speak irresponsibly and tease Your Majesty's hat buttoned down", that is, the end of the officials waiting for reemployment, or Hainan Island to do Qiu Ba.

Seeing this opportunity, after seeing Lao Zhang's expression, he smiled and ordered the guards with knives in front of the emperor: "The report of the official family is not trivial, it cannot be regarded as child's play, hurry up, collect all the documents that have just been reported, the old man will attach great importance to the official family, strictly approve it, and then sort out and classify the report." ”

Zhao Ji has no heart and lungs, and he doesn't know what Lao Cai means.

In the court, the prime minister spoke and the emperor did not deny it, it was an order. So the masters of Ouchi didn't wait for the group of officials who came up to snatch the folds they submitted from Liang Shicheng's hands, and took them one after another and handed them to Cai Jing.

The faces of countless officials began to turn green, and Cai Jing was like a case-solving maniac who had obtained the evidence, with an excited expression.

"The master is worried about the country and the people, and I am very optimistic about you." Zhao Ji, who didn't quite understand what Cai Jing meant, felt that this old man was quite diligent and not lazy, so he praised him.

"It is the duty of the old minister to handle the government affairs for the official family." Cai Jing clung to a large number of reports and didn't let go, even though it was very heavy, he held on, because if he took it out, he would definitely be snatched back by a group of sharks. Those bastards, they really pretend that it never happened, they really have such thick skin.

Zhao Ji said worriedly: "Zhang Qing hurry up and tell me, what's going on with Xiao Gao." ”

Uncle Zhang unfolded the Jiangdong newspaper at night and said while reading it.

The trouble is that Gao Fangping's newspaper cannot be read directly, because obviously this newspaper was written by him himself, and the calf has a characteristic, writing things to the point, direct and rude, vulgar, and sharp is his style of writing, and he does not use official words and polite terms, and there are often sick sentences and typos, so Gao Fangping's newspaper must be read first, and then translated in Lao Zhang's words.

Don't talk about the rough language, that is his boy's style, and some adults in the court are not necessarily younger and more elegant than him. It's just that the Jinshi who was appointed by the emperor to be on the list of Jinke, if he reads it directly, causing grammatical confusion and sick sentences, it will become a joke, and no matter how thick-skinned the official is, I am afraid that he will no longer be embarrassed to let him be named on the gold list.

Using the official language of Wen Crepe, Lao Zhang said intermittently, and finally concluded: "Your Majesty, the locust plague on Jiangnan East Road this time is so serious that it is beyond return, but the Jiangdong transfer hand-picked by Your Majesty has made Gao Fangping control it, and the battle against locusts has been victorious, and the locusts that have been killed are in units of 100 million. ”

Zhao Ji patted his thigh and smiled: "I know that Xiao Gaoqing's family is a very capable child, and you guys still say that I have no vision, hum." He added, "Zhang Qing, tell me quickly, since there is a locust plague in Jiangdong this time, how much will the food be lost?" ”

That's the key, so everyone pricked up their ears. As long as you can't say good data, you can start to slap Uncle Zhang's conclusive remarks in the face in the face of the "great victory against locusts" in minutes.
