Chapter 9 Artesian Water

I went back to the palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs came and began to tailor court clothes for me.

I began to prepare, familiar with all kinds of etiquette, as well as familiar with the division of labor and grades of ministers. In the court, there are six departments of two phases, except for the left prime minister "Yue Xiangrong" and the right prime minister "Shangguan Hongbo"

There are also six Shangshu

"Military Department" Zhang Daren took office.

The "Criminal Law Department" is a criminal officer.

"Ministry of Industry" Yue Daren posted.

"Ministry of Officials" Lord Wang served.

"Ministry of Finance" Fan Daren posted.

"Ministry of Rites" Zhou Daren served. In addition to these six books, there are also twelve squires who are considered special assistants of the six departments, and there are twenty-four langs below, and there are below, but generally you can't see the empress, and you work in the adult's mansion.

I memorized it like an endorsement for half a month. Thinking that I would have to go to court tomorrow, I was so nervous that I didn't sleep all night. Before it was very dawn, Qianxue got up to help me put on the yellow court clothes sent by the empress. All the princesses of the Moon Kingdom have yellow court clothes with wide sleeves and cannons.

After I put it on. Looking at yourself in the mirror, dissatisfied or not good enough. I stumbled and arrived at the Tai Chi Hall. The Taiji Hall is still shining brightly.

Seeing that all the ministers had arrived, they were all lined up in two neat lines. Standing outside the Taiji Hall and waiting.

When I got here, I seemed to have forgotten everything I had memorized for half a month.

The gold-inlaid jade door of the Taiji Hall opened, and all the female ministers walked in an orderly manner. I don't know how I'm going to get in. Only follow the last minister and go inside. My first time in Tai Chi Hall.

The inside is as bright as the outside, with transparent tiles on top. The main hall is a square hall, four or five hundred meters wide. Supported by twelve golden pillars. Tai Chi Hall is a day or night, like the day of the palace is the sun of the Moon Kingdom, looking at the pure transparent water station palace, if it is not for the palace to climb all kinds of vines and trees in summer, it will feel like being in the wild. At night, it only takes a little bit of firelight, and the Taiji Hall will shine the same as day.

The Empress arrived. The two teams of ministers knelt neatly, and the empress wore a yellow court dress, slowly walked up the five-step high steps, and then sat on the imperial throne behind her. The palace maid said, "Mountain call." Everyone, shouting in unison, long live, long live, long live......

I looked at the empress, under the tsunami of the mountains, showing the domineering spirit of the lord of the world.

Zhongqing is flat. A calm and majestic voice. All the ministers got the order, shouted, thank the empress. Everyone got up and retreated to their seats.

I retreated, and found that I had no place to sit, so I stood aside.

Come here.

Is it calling me? I looked up and saw that the Empress was looking at me. The empress said, Princess Wenliang, step forward to reply. Walking slowly, I felt like all the ministers were looking at me. Carefully look at the feet, for fear that one will accidentally mix the left foot with the right foot.

Princess. Until the palace maid bar, I stopped it.

I saw that I was walking up the stairs. I looked at the empress a little crampedly.

The empress said that Princess Wenliang entered the court today to listen to the government. Someone came and brought a mat.

The palace maids below obeyed the order, so they went and brought up the beautifully made futon mat. It was placed opposite Princess Huaiyin.

I sat down and saw Princess Huaiyin sitting on the other side with Chu Ming in her hands. My left hand is the Prime Minister of the Moon.

Everyone didn't pay much attention to me, and they started talking about state affairs.

I think I've finally taken the first step, and it's also my first step to understanding the life of Chu Ming. Because I can go to the court every day to see the beginning of the dawn, I don't know how happy I am in my heart, but no one shares it.

Because I have to get up in the morning every day, I have been slowly following me for more than ten years, and my bed-lying problem has also been cured. Even on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, I still get up at five o'clock. Because in the court, you can see the demeanor of the early dawn. Chu Ming talked about military and political reform, as well as the tax reduction and exemption policy for the people at the bottom of the country. Fight for the rights and interests of the people at the bottom, and politically promote good reform policies and good talent reform. is so worried about the country and the people, how high-spirited. I think I've gotten deeper and deeper.

But as it happens, I have been in politics for almost three months. Lei Cheng broke out of the plague and suffered countless casualties, and Lei Cheng's fold was handed to the empress. The empress said in the morning of the next day that in a few months, there was a plague in Leicheng, south of the Moon Kingdom. Leicheng was originally an important wharf for transporting diamonds and gold, but now Leicheng is affected by the plague, and the price of diamonds and gold in the country has led to a shortage of diamonds and gold in the country. The people over there have also suffered numerous deaths and injuries due to the plague, and they have been sealed and no one is allowed to enter or leave. There is also a tendency to spread. This news shocked the whole country,

That Qing family is willing to go to Leicheng to deal with the plague?

Chu Ming got up and volunteered, and the minister asked to deal with the plague.

I saw that the opportunity had come, and I immediately plucked up the courage to step forward. The empress, the minister is willing to go with the young general to control the plague.

Princess Huaiyin suddenly said, the empress, the young general can't go, Lei Cheng is in the East China Sea, the easternmost part of the Moon Country, so the mainland learned the news and sent troops to attack the Moon Country. At this time, the young general was far away in the East China Sea, and the Moon Country was not in danger at this time.

Chu Ming was a little melancholy, but he still said that with his father guarding the east, he would not let anyone on the mainland touch an inch of the Moon Country. If there is a change, there are other generals in the Moon Country who can also go to reinforce them.

Princess Huaiyin also said that the general Shangguan is old, please let the young general stay in Wuji to guard, if there is any situation in the East China Sea, the young general is the general's parent-child combat experience after all, and he also went to reinforce.

The empress said, okay, I think it's better to choose someone else to go to Lei Cheng. Chu Aiqing should stay in Wujicheng.

Chu Ming said that the minister obeyed the order. However, the minister wanted to recommend one person to follow Princess Wenliang to Leicheng to deal with the plague.

The empress said, I don't know if Chu Aiqing wants to recommend people?

The minister wants to recommend, the Ministry of Works, the emperor Pu Qianfeng.

The empress, the Weichen Emperor Pu Qianfeng, is willing to go.

The empress saw that a squire came out from behind, kneeling below, and listening to the voice of a male minister. You step forward and talk back.

It was the Empress, and he walked to my left and knelt down.

I looked sideways, it was a young minister, still a man, although he was not as temperamental as Chu Ming, but he also had his own style of elegance.

The empress looked at Chu Ming and said, is he your brother-in-law?

Chu Ming arched his hand and said that the minister does not avoid relatives, and Qianfeng is indeed the minister's brother-in-law. But Qianfeng has both ability and political integrity, and has the world in mind, and I dare to promise that I will live up to the expectations of the empress.

The empress said, "Okay, the moon is gentle."

The minister is here. I said yes.

Politics, this will make you the minister of the Qin Mission, give you the sword of Shang Fang, inspect and control the plague on behalf of the government, and if there is any disobedience, you can cut it first.

The Ministers are grateful. I stepped forward and took the sword from above, given by the Empress.

Emperor Pu Qianfeng, the government has appointed you as the envoy of the minister, you must assist the princess to deal with the plague, protect the princess, and not let the princess take risks.

It's the empress, and the ministers are grateful.

After going down, I went to the Tai Hospital with Qianfeng first, and found more than a dozen Tai Doctors and Tai Doctors to study the medicine to treat the plague. Qianfeng went to the folk again to gather some folk to go together. The Tai Hospital has also researched some eyebrows, and various medicinal materials have been prepared. I also got someone to prepare lime powder, and everything was ready.

Early the next morning

I watched Chu Ming also stand in the Taiji Palace with the empress ministers, watching us from the gatehouse. I really feel a little reluctant, and I regret it.

As soon as our group arrived at the pier by water, we saw that tens of thousands of people had gathered on the shore to see us off. Long live the princess...... Long live the princess......

Let's move the medicinal materials to the 100-meter boat and load them. Hundreds of our mighty boats are swimming in the Lechuan River, and the people on the shore are still watching us from afar. There is not a single merchant ship in the Baichuan River, and the merchant ships that used to be prosperous in the Baichuan River dragging living things are gone.

After asking the subordinates, I learned that it turned out that all the people spontaneously issued their own work trade. Let's let Baichuan come out and see this scene. I felt that I could not disappoint them, and that for the sake of their expectations, I would like to stop the plague even at the expense of myself.

No wonder there are so many martyrs who shed their blood for the country. It turns out that each of us is a whole, never an individual. I used to think that I was a person who would not sacrifice myself for anyone. It seems that I just thought.

Out of Wuji City, I saw flowers blooming on both sides of the strait. There is also a faint fragrance and natural smell in the air, and the slight fishy smell of Lechuan water, and the temperature is suitable for twenty or thirty degrees. The sky was washed like water, and the water was as clear as mirrored mercury. In front of such nature, we humans seem much dirtier. My purpose at the beginning was just to be with Chu Ming, not to dare to save those who were affected by the plague. But as long as I say it, no matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to get it done.

This time, Chiyuki came out with me, and I don't think the journey will be lonely. The empress also specially rewarded me with a palace maid, and that palace maid is a talent. made a good dish, the empress was afraid that I would not be used to eating Lei Cheng's meal. The palace maid made fish every day along the way. But I haven't done anything like that, and I think I'm fat. After getting acquainted with the cook, I became the cook's little follower. Every day, I either fish for her or help her watch the fire.

Our boat came up from the main stream of Baichuan, and from Baichuan down to the tributary Lechuan. All the tributaries are called Lethe, perhaps because I hope that people will not forget it.

See the rows of houses on both sides of the river, along the river bank key. Bluestone Street, an unknown tree in front of the house. The two- or three-story building with blue tiles and white walls is really beautiful when projected into the water. At noon, hazy white smoke rose from the smoke rush of the small building. There were also young men and women washing clothes by the river, and after a while it began to rain lightly. The boy carried a wooden basin with clothes in his left hand, a wooden bucket with vegetables in his right hand, and the girl gave the man a painted oil-paper umbrella of flowers and birds. The man shook his head and ran forward quickly, and the girl chased after her with an umbrella and some anger. Looking at them, I really want to become them living in this misty and misty small bridge and flowing water people's house. From then on, one life and one couple.
