Chapter 383: Sharing Worries
Although he wanted to be quiet alone, after coming out of Concubine Tian's bedroom, Xiao Mu still habitually wanted to go to Lin Ye for a turn, but due to an unknown embarrassment and guilt, Xiao Mu finally chose to give up, and could only be quiet alone as originally planned. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But Xiao Mu found that he couldn't figure out the whole thing alone, and in the face of such a complex ethical problem that no one had ever seen before or since, Xiao Mu found that he had no way to be quiet, but the more he thought about it, the more messy his heart became.
Finally, Xiao Mu gave up the unrealistic plan of "being quiet alone", because "one person" and "one quiet" are two contradictory things, if he is alone, then he will keep thinking about this problem that there is no way to figure out, and he has been thinking about it so much that his head hurts, how can it be impossible to achieve the real "quiet".
So Xiao Mu planned to find something else for himself to do, so that his mind could be temporarily diverted from this complex ethical issue, otherwise he felt that his brain would definitely explode sooner or later.
"Ome." So Xiao Mu opened his mouth and said to Wang Chengen.
"What does the emperor command?" Wang Chengen is naturally as respectful as ever.
"You still call me again, I have something to explain to him." Xiao Mu decided to call Luo Yangxing and explain to him the errand of arranging people to supervise the local disaster relief officials in Zhejiang and the imperial historians, and this was also what Xiao Mu had planned to do before hearing that Concubine Tian had fainted, since Xiao Mu now took the initiative to find something to do for himself, he naturally thought of it first. After saying the previous sentence, Xiao Mu remembered the excuse he originally used as a cover-up, and then deliberately added, "Regarding the issue of selling exam questions in the capital, I still have to confirm with him, there is no need to ensure that the people who participate in the exam will not be disturbed by those charlatans." ”
"The slave and maid understand." Of course, Wang Chengen will not guess what the emperor's true intentions are, nor will he think about why the emperor added a sentence a little superfluously, all in all, what the emperor said, then it must be something, this time called Luo Yangxing to come, if Luo Yangxing asked the reason why the emperor called him, Wang Chengen would definitely tell the original words, instead of "pointing" to Luo Yangxing some of his own "guesses".
"Soon" Xiao Mu saw Luo Yangxing, this "soon" is actually not so fast, after all, this is the Ming Dynasty, there is no convenient thing like a telephone, so people have to use people to find the scene, the fastest is to ride a fast horse to Luo Yangxing's home, and then Luo Yangxing has to go through the same distance in the same way, in order to finally reach the palace and see the emperor.
However, Xiao Mu this time was different from last time, before Concubine Tian fainted, Xiao Mu's mentality was that he was always afraid that there would be any trouble or bad news, so a very normal waiting time seemed particularly long in his eyes; And for Xiao Mu now, the thorny event he was worried about before had happened, and it did make him feel very contradictory and chaotic, in such a contradiction and chaos, Xiao Mu found that time passed quickly and unconsciously.
"Wechen knocks to see the emperor, my emperor ......"
"No need to be polite, I called you here this time to confirm with you some things about the sale of exam questions in the capital." Of course, Luo Yangxing's big gift was stopped by Xiao Mu as always, and then Xiao Mu began to talk about his "intention" to come to Luo Yangxing, but after saying a word, he closed his mouth, signaling the palace maids and eunuchs present to avoid it, as if they were afraid that this matter and plan about the exam questions would be overheard.
Wang Chengen urged the eunuchs and palace maids present to leave the main hall, and he also had to close the door outside the hall, and at the same time give the emperor a good look at the door, and did not allow idle people to wait in to disturb him, but at this time Xiao Mu said, "The companion can come in and listen together." ”
This is naturally a manifestation of the emperor's trust in himself, so Wang Chengen returned to the main hall in excitement, and changed the original plan of "close the door from outside the hall" to "close the door from inside the hall." ”
"Alright, now that the rest of us are gone, I can get down to business." Xiao Mu came to an opening remark, and the current Luo Yangxing heard a strange feeling from this opening statement, because when he came here from the Zhenfu Division, he heard that the emperor asked him to explain the question of the examination questions, but now the emperor's words have changed, making Luo Yangxing feel that this time the matter is definitely not as simple as the charlatans who peddled the examination questions.
Xiao Mu's next words did confirm Luo Yangxing's thoughts, "Yesterday's urgent delivery from Zhejiang, heavy rain for several days, coupled with the inflow of seawater, many places in Zhejiang have suffered serious floods, you should already know about this matter." After consulting with the ministers, I decided to send money from the Inner Treasury to the relief of the disaster. ”
Xiao Mu said this, Luo Yangxing can finally guess the emperor's intention to summon himself this time, since the emperor talked about the disaster relief in Zhejiang, then this time he must arrange some errands related to disaster relief for himself, but the specific implementation of disaster relief is handled by the ministers of the court and local officials in Zhejiang, so it is not difficult to guess that the emperor can hand over the errand to Jinyiwei.
"Weichen also got a report from Jinyiwei yesterday that Zhejiang has indeed suffered a serious disaster, and many prefectures and counties are already a country." It is naturally impossible for Luo Yangxing to say his conjecture before the emperor, and that kind of thing is undoubtedly an embarrassing move for the emperor - in the words of Xiao Mu's later generations, that kind of words are equivalent to Luo Yangxing taking Xiao Mu's road, so that Xiao Mu has no way out.
As a steady commander of the Jinyi Guard, Luo Yangxing naturally will not rob the emperor of the road, but will help the emperor pave a better road, that is, to cooperate with the rhythm of the emperor's speech, so that the emperor's words will be more natural.
"Although the money for disaster relief has been allocated, I am still very worried, I don't know if the money I allocated from the inner treasury can really be spent on the affected people, if it is greedy by the officials involved in the disaster relief in Zhejiang, then so many of my affected people may lose the last ray of life given to them by the imperial court." Xiao Mu's next words were indeed very natural, first expressing his concern about the effect of disaster relief, and then he changed his words and asked, "Luo Yangxing, can you share your worries for me?" ”
