Chapter 68: The Great Drought in Henan
After Song Yi's body recovered, he did not move back to his original ear room.
Xianglian continued to stay with Song Yi, while Li Da and Hao Ren arranged to go on errands elsewhere.
Song Yi was very embarrassed now, her situation in Wentao Garden, and even in the True King's Mansion was very delicate.
The real prince asked people to serve Song Yi, obviously treating Song Yi as an escort.
Everyone in the house tacitly thought that the prince had taken a fancy to Song Yi and wanted to accept her into the room.
Song Yi himself thinks so.
Although she was reluctant, the True King had saved her three or four times, and she didn't know how she would refuse if the True King asked.
Song Yi finally did a good job of psychological construction, and the worst plan was to make a promise to repay the true king with his body.
However, the true king did not ask him to sleep.
Song Yi was confused, I don't know what the prince had in mind?
Wang Shutong's matter, although the real king personally came forward to deal with it.
King Yin of Jingzhao Mansion also came to the door to plead guilty to the true king, and even wrapped a big gift to compensate Song Yi.
Of course, Song Yi knew that Lord Wang was saving the country with a curve, otherwise, a girl like her would not have the turn of Lord Wang to bother to please her.
Song Yi thought about it, no matter what Lord Wang's purpose was, but this was real money, and the prince didn't let her not accept it, so she happily accepted it.
It seems that Wang Shutong's matter has been resolved.
But the old lady Du and the eldest lady Wang did not let Song Yi go.
They believe that Song Yi is rude to the guests of the palace, and he is guilty of the following crimes, and if he is not punished, other subordinates will not accept it.
But Song Yi has the support of the real king, and the old lady has other plans, so the old lady and the Wang family are not on the same front.
In the end, he simply punished Song Yi a month ago, and he did it hastily.
Wang was not convinced, but he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
Song Yi's life is nourishing, and he is like a fish in water in the house, and he has never been so comfortable.
The palace did not know the years, and soon it was a shock.
After the sting, the weather warmed up.
Spring ploughing began in various parts of the Qianchao Dynasty.
But soon, bad news came from Henan and other places.
Sure enough, as Song Yi expected last year.
Floods and droughts alternated, and there was a locust plague in Henan and other places that was rare in a century.
The weather is only now starting to warm up, and the situation is still in the early stages of the outbreak.
But the local officials still did not dare to slack off, and quickly reported the local disaster to the imperial court.
When Kyoto officials heard about the disaster in Henan and other places, they began to discuss it enthusiastically.
Of course, these things, Song Yi, who is in the palace, is not clear.
It is only rumored that the prince offered a plan and came up with a series of methods to prevent and control insects at a very fast speed.
After the emperor saw it, he was very happy, and even praised the prince for his thoughtfulness.
For a while, the prince's camp celebrated with a crown and was arrogant.
Correspondingly, the morale of the two princes is low, and one loses the other.
Song Yi looked at the sky, but he didn't feel the tense atmosphere in the court.
The sky is clear, I don't know what strategy the prince offered, don't be in the palace that day, those doormen's pedantic and drinking methods to quench their thirst.
Song Yi was faintly uneasy, but she only thought she was worried about herself and didn't take it to heart.
The prince's strategy was soon effectively implemented by the imperial court.
The locust plague on the Henan side seemed to be under control, and the people all praised the prince, saying that he was a good prince who loved the people and cared for things.
After Song Yi heard about it, he was even more relieved, thinking that the disaster in Henan would not appear again, so he did not pay attention to it.
After more than a month, news of a peasant uprising in Henan and other places suddenly came.
This made Song Yi and everyone startled.
Didn't you say that the locust plague had been controlled? How could there still be a peasant revolt?
What's even more strange is that the imperial court sent to Henan and other places to investigate the Qincha, and he was also killed.
The court is furious!
The conflict between the government and the people has reached the point where it is on the verge of breaking out, and the whole of Kyoto is panicking.
Song Yi also felt the oppressive atmosphere in the palace.
Inside the Wenhua Hall of the Imperial Palace of the Qianchao Dynasty.
Zhao Honghao, the crown prince of the Qianchao Dynasty, walked into the palace gloomily.
The ministers followed behind, all holding their breath and being submissive.
Just in the main hall, the emperor reprimanded, angrily reprimanded the prince, brought disaster to the country and the people, and shook the foundation of the Qiandynasty.
Naturally, the prince did not dare to defend himself, so he could only listen obediently.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the crown prince convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures.
These princelings are the first to bear the burden, but they know that the wood is already in the boat, where else can they do it?
It's just that the person who offered the plan was too shady and damaged, so today's status quo will appear.
The crown prince Zhao Honghao was wearing a purple round-necked dragon suit, wearing a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Lord Wang, hello measured. This palace treats you well, why is it so vicious? ”
Lord Wang, who was named, shook like a sieve, collapsed to the ground, sweating like rain.
The surrounding colleagues, no one dared to come forward to help, just to protect themselves.
Lord Wang, it is none other than Yin Wang Hanzhou of Jingzhao Mansion, the father of the real lady of the Wang's Mansion.
The insect control program offered by the prince is from Wang Hanzhou.
Wang Hanzhou knew that he couldn't argue, and he didn't dare to be greedy for merit, so he told the truth in 1510, and only hoped that the prince could spare himself and the Wang family.
It turned out that in the early days of the locust plague in Henan and other places, everyone in the court was suffering and had no good solutions.
Wang Yuyan, the eldest lady of the real palace, repaired the book and returned to her mother's house, and followed a person to the palace with the letter.
That person was one of the guests who participated in the discussion of the disaster in Chen Gongzi's hometown in the pavilion of the Zhenwang Mansion that day.
On the same day, when he returned home, he recorded the discussions of the people in the pavilion and compiled a codex.
Unexpectedly, in the coming year, Henan not only had a severe drought, but also found locusts, so he found out the codex that was shelved in the cabinet.
In order to seek his own glory and wealth, he found Wang's place. Wang was selfish, so he introduced this person to his father, Lord Wang.
This is the afterword of the prince's plan.
As for why the Wang family didn't hand over this person and the strategy to her husband. Then we have to start with Zhu Zimo's matter.
The Wang family knew that her husband Zhu Yuanshan was the second prince, but the Wang family was a princeling.
The son Zhu Zimo was released after an accident, and the second prince ignored it, which has disappointed the Wang family.
Therefore, this time, she handed over the person to her father, just to seek refuge with the prince, hoping that the prince could transfer her son back to Beijing.
Originally, the Wang family was still dreaming of spring and autumn, thinking that the mother and son would be reunited soon.
But unexpectedly, something happened in Henan.
One of the prince's strategies was to fill the land with quicklime and kill the locusts.
But when the quicklime mixed into the land, not only were the locusts gone, but the crops were also lost.
How can the people live on the land, and if they have no food, how can they not rise up?
When Wang heard about what happened in Henan, he hurriedly asked people to look for the doorman who was looking for her that day.
But the other party had already fled, and she realized that she had been deceived.
But it was too late to regret it, so she could only inform her husband about it in order to protect herself.
After Zhu Yuanshan heard about it, he knew that his wife had done this behind his back. was furious and quarreled with the Wang family.
But the husband and wife were of one heart and one mind, and Zhu Yuanshan was angry again, so he immediately begged the second prince to explain the matter and the situation.
When the second prince heard this, not only did he not blame Zhu Yuanshan, but he was very happy.
It turned out that the crown prince fell out of favor, and the happiest was the second prince.
The Wang family made a mistake, but he helped the second prince once.
The second prince, Zhao Hongpu, only reassured Zhu Yuanshan that he would ensure that Zhu Yuanshan and his wife were safe.
Zhu Yuanshan got the promise of the second prince, so he was relieved.
It's just that the family of Lord Wang suffered, and because of the failure of the plan, he lost the position of Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, not to mention, and completely became a marginal figure of the princelings.
