"Xiaoyu, why did you lose your temper just now, quickly explain to Your Majesty." Li Yunshen also frowned slightly in confusion.

When the palace maid heard Li Yunshen say this, she reluctantly raised her head, glanced at Li Yunshen opposite, and then at Zuo Ying, and said tremblingly: "Slave maid, slave maid see it...... His Majesty's wine glass changed color......"

This sentence was a bit inexplicable to Zuo Ying, but all the palace people present immediately showed a frightened look when they heard it, and stared at the wine glass in front of Zuo Ying with terrifying eyes. Li Yunshen was even more shocked, and most of the wine was gone.

Scarlet Feather hurriedly picked up the wine glass in front of Zuo Ying with a nervous expression, and sure enough, he saw that a black color appeared on the silver wine glass that was originally shiny, which was obviously contaminated with poison!

"Someone! Protect Your Majesty! Scarlet Feather shouted, while helping Zuo Ying up and protecting her behind her, "Quickly pass the imperial doctor!" ”

The guards outside the door didn't dare to slack off for a moment when they heard Scarlet Feather's greeting, and rushed in in response, leaving the inside and outside of the hall impassable.

"Is Your Majesty unwell?" Scarlet Feather asked nervously. It's just that seeing that Zuo Ying didn't show any abnormality, I felt a little relieved.

Zuo Ying finally understood why the palace maid named Xiaoyu was so shocked at this time. The silver cup turned black, indicating that it was probably poisoned in the wine, and it was poisoned in the empress's wine glass, which means that someone poisoned and murdered! Committing the murder of the monarch is a great sin that will connect the nine clans!

The empress drank in Qingquan Palace, and was found to be poisonous in the wine, and the biggest suspect in the poisoning was naturally the master Li Yunshen; Li Yunshen was deeply grateful to them as palace people. They don't want their master to bear the charge of killing the king, it must be because of this reason that the palace maid will stand up for so long, until Li Yunshen himself asks. only then did he tell the reason for the gaffe.

These palace people have all listened to the stories of the power struggles in the past from the first day they entered the palace, and they know that this kind of thing is so implicated that it is likely to involve hundreds of innocent people at every turn. Therefore, once I saw the signs of such a thing sprouting in front of my eyes, I couldn't hide my panic at all.

At this time, Li Yunshen, who was halfway awake, had already gotten up and knelt down in front of Zuo Ying and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has no idea about this, please order a thorough investigation of this matter." ”

"Your Majesty, please go back to the palace first, and let the matter here be handled by Lord Tingwei Jiang." Scarlet Feather suggested.

This kind of thing is a big deal for them. But for Zuo Ying, at best, it is just a new package for similar events that she has experienced countless times before.

Even stealing silver fire knew that Li Yunshen, who didn't dare to act in his own Qingquan Palace, would definitely not do such a thing, and if someone could do such a thing in Li Yunshen's territory, then Zuo Ying really wanted to know who had such a skill.

She picked up the wine glass on the table and examined it carefully. I saw that the blackened part was not on the inside of the cup. Rather, it was on the outside of the glass, and it was confined to a very small area, apparently not like it was caused by wine syrup, but more like something that caused the oxidation of silver to be smeared from the outside - what is the point of this worthless "poisoning"? She couldn't help but frown in confusion.

At this time, Ashina, who had been pouring himself a drink and looking at a "farce" in front of him with disdain, had a little more understanding of the "greed for life and fear of death" of the Great Zhou people, and he raised his cup. He sneered and said, "What are you all fuss about? If the wine had been poisonous, we would have died of poison. Besides, the poisoned wine has already been drunk, and no matter how many people you call in, will you be able to drive the poison out of your stomach? ”

These words may sound heartless, but they hit the nail on the head. Zuo Ying listened. I couldn't help but laugh. At this time, she noticed that there was a similar black mark on Ashina's indefinite wine glass, and he didn't notice it, but he just didn't care; Look at Li Yunshen's cup again, but there is no one. She thought about it for a moment, and suddenly a guess came to her mind.

"There are no Assassins here, all of you stand down." Zuo Ying said loudly, "No one is allowed to spread today's events. ”

Li Yunshen, who was still kneeling on the ground, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, although this incident did not cause damage to the dragon's body, please investigate this matter thoroughly and prove the minister's innocence." ”

Zuo Ying sat back in her seat, pulled Li Yunshen to sit down, and said with a smile: "Little San'er, it must be the wrong way you wash the silverware here that caused this phenomenon, don't make a fuss, replace the wine vessel, and I and the two Aiqing continue to drink." ”

I don't know when it rained outside, the sky was as gray and gloomy as a person's depressed mood, and the layers of blue-black tiled roofs in the palace were wet by the rain, and the color was as thick as the makeup on a beauty's face smeared with tears.

Helan Chu, who was reviewing the folds in the inner court, put down his pen and glanced outside, his sword eyebrows slightly frowned. The bad weather didn't affect his mood, and he thought about another thing because he saw the rain falling and thought about another thing.

At this time, a small official hurriedly came in from outside the door, his clothes were already wet with rain, and his hair was wet and he didn't know whether it was sweat or rain. He went straight to Helan Chu, bowed down and presented a cloth bag and said, "Taishi, I just received a disaster report from Yongding River. ”

Hearing what the little official said, the other officials in the room who were reviewing the official documents also put down the case files in their hands and surrounded them.

Helan Chu also immediately put down the brush in his hand, stood up and said, "Read." ”

"Yes." The little official arched his hand, opened the cloth bag in his hand, and took out two palm-sized pieces of bamboo folded in half. The little official unfolded the bamboo piece and read according to the words written on it: "Your Majesty, Zhao Gongming, the Taishou of Chenshang County, Qiping to the five counties of Yongding River in Danzhou, overflowed in 39 places, and in the coastal village of Danzhou, there were many dead and injured residents, one family was completely killed, some drowned only a few people remained, and some houses collapsed and crushed the dead, the miserable situation is unspeakable. Of the thousands of people who have been rescued, most of them have no place to stay, and most of them are sleeping in the wilderness. The victims were hungry and could not eat, they could not wear clothes, and the sound of crying was heard for dozens of miles. The minister bowed again, begging His Majesty to give money and grain, and to the nearby states and counties to make efforts to provide disaster relief! ”

The silence in the room was not interrupted for a long time after the sound of the servant stopped. The ministers were either sighing or contemplating.

Helan Chu stretched out his hand to take the fold in the hand of the little official, and said in a deep voice: "You go and inform the person who sent the letter to wait for a day, and after this seat discusses with the ministers, there will be news." ”

The little official agreed and left in a hurry.

An elderly minister frowned and twisted his beard and said: "Since the ancient road, 'a scoop of rain in Luoyang, a hundred years of river in Yongding', it seems that it has been fulfilled again." ”

Another minister worried: "Although the five counties from Qiping to Yongdinghe in Danzhou are not rich and prosperous, the spread of the disaster and the flooding of the victims to the nearby state capital will definitely cause serious turmoil and the consequences are unimaginable." ”

"After the floods, there will be a large number of deaths, and improper disposal of corpses will cause a major epidemic, and the disaster will be further expanded, and it must be prevented." There is also a minister's way.

Helan Chu frowned and asked, "In your opinion, what method should be used to provide disaster relief and prevent the disaster from prolonging?" ”

Zhang Fengshi, who had been silent, stepped forward and arched his hand: "The management of the disaster situation is divided into three stages: pre-disaster, disaster time and post-disaster. Before the disaster, we should pay attention to evacuation and early warning, prevent disasters before they occur, and reduce losses; In times of disaster, the people affected by the disaster shall be rescued in a timely manner, and the affected population shall be effectively guided to temporarily live in nearby rich prefectures and counties to relieve their difficulties, so that the sick can be treated, the hungry can be fed, and the displaced can be sheltered; After the disaster, the epidemic should be eliminated and funds should be allocated for reconstruction, so that the waste can be rebuilt. The occurrence of these three phases in the same disaster does not necessarily occur in strict order, and in adjacent disaster-stricken areas, there may be multiple phases coexisting as a whole due to the different conditions of the disaster, which exacerbates the difficulty of disaster relief. According to the opinion of the lower officials, we should grasp the fundamentals, start relief and assistance in the hardest-hit Danzhou area, and use disaster relief in other areas as a reference. Disaster relief requires financial resources, and the lower officials suggested that a certain amount of money and grain should be allocated from the state treasury to the disaster area and the surrounding government government, so that they could open warehouses for disaster relief and vigorously rescue them, and then call on the wealthy households in the vicinity to give porridge and build sheds to help the needy. At the same time, a disaster survey team and supervision officials will be dispatched to the disaster area to supervise the work to avoid delays. ”

Helan Chu nodded in agreement, but his eyebrows still did not relax in the slightest, "What Master Zhang said is feasible. However, the overseer is ...... Careful consideration is required. Do you have a recommendation? ”

This supervision and disaster relief is not a beautiful difference, with heavy responsibilities, high requirements, hard work, offending people, and a certain degree of personal safety; If you do a good job, no one may be able to see the results, and if you don't do it well, you may poke out a big basket. It's really not something that ordinary people can do and are willing to do. This kind of thing, they naturally don't want to do it themselves, and they won't recommend people they have friends to do, but it's not appropriate to use it to frame dissidents, in case they really do a good job and have a good reputation, which alarms the central government, but gives them the opportunity to become an official and become a knight. Therefore, the ministers could not easily come up with a suitable candidate. There was a complete silence.

Since being poured a few glasses by Li Yunshen when he first visited Qingquan Palace, Zuo Ying found that the amount of alcohol in this body was surprisingly good, which was about the legendary aldehyde dehydrogenase genotype physique, and he was a character who could almost be said to be "not drunk in a thousand cups". At this time, after drinking Li Yunshen's ten jars of fine wine, Ashina was finally satisfied, and the wine was very hearty; And Li Yunshen was already too strong to drink, so he let the palace people help him back to the room to rest; Zuo Ying was just a little drunk, and she was sure that what she drank just now was not water, but this was naturally related to her late "joining the battle".

Ashina, who was happy, stood up indefinitely, staggered to Zuo Ying's side and sat down, patted her shoulder twice, and slapped her so that her body shook and her bones hurt, "I really can't see that you little girl actually has such a amount of alcohol." ”

Scarlet Feather hurriedly exclaimed: "Imperial husband, don't be rude......"
