Chapter 72: Meeting an Old Acquaintance
In the Qianqing Palace, Song Yi waited aside.
Emperor Zhao Pang De sat on the throne, condescending, and swept towards the real king and Song Yi.
He was very interested in Song Yi.
I don't know, what real skills can the "female bodhisattva" who has been rumored by the people to be godlike recently?
Seriously, Zhao Pang De was skeptical that a little girl could come up with those methods to treat insects at first. He even suspected that the real king was behind the command?
Therefore, Zhao Pound deliberately tested Song Yi.
"I just learned from the True King that the insect cure offered to the imperial court this time was your idea? You girl, you have a bit of great wisdom. There are countless officials in my court, big and small, and no one has come up with a solution. And you have such great ability at such a young age, not only did you come up with such a good idea, but you also took the initiative to dedicate the insect control method to the imperial court, which made me impressed! ”
Song Yi listened to the emperor praising himself, how dare he be complacent?
Hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
The slave was terrified. The lowly maid only saw it from a book by chance, so she dared to learn from the wisdom of the ancients, and she didn't dare to be greedy for merit, and asked the emperor to see it."
"Well, you don't have to be too modest. I don't mean to blame you, on the contrary, I want to reward you."
"Your contribution this time is also a great contribution to the imperial court and the people in Henan and other places. I have to think about it, what should I reward you? ”
Zhao Pangde's words were not said to Song Yi, but a bit of a temptation to Zhu Xi.
"What do you think, True King? How am I going to reward the girl in your house? ”
The emperor threw the question to Zhu Xi, where could Zhu Xi be fooled?
He only pretended to be frightened and said, "Panic!" ”
"This time, Henan and other places suffered a century-old insect plague, which affected the whole body. Henan and other places were originally the Central Plains, with a vast territory and dense population. If it weren't for the imperial court getting a cure for insects this time, the situation would have been curbed as soon as possible. The consequences will be unimaginable."
"Oh? What an unthinkable method? The emperor asked knowingly, stroked the dragon's beard, and asked with a smile.
Zhu Xi only looked up at the emperor slightly, and had a guess about the emperor's thoughts in his heart, and continued to bow his head and said, "The minister received a military report earlier, and the grassland Jurchen tribe is no longer satisfied with being in the north, and has repeatedly tested the territory of our court. This time, if the locust plague epidemic in Henan and other places is not dealt with as soon as possible, it will inevitably restrain part of the imperial court's energy, and if at this time, the northern grasslands will start war again. I am afraid that our country will have internal and external troubles and will be struggling. ”
"The Jurchen tribe, such a barbarian land, can still set off a big storm and shake the foundation of my dynasty?"
The Emperor's tone grew cold, and the smile on his face was no longer the one he had just had.
Song Yi was in the hall, and he didn't dare to breathe. What the hell is this true king doing? This is good, how did you talk to the emperor about this? Isn't this to roast her on a fire?
Song Yi and even the speculation of the villain's heart, is the real king deliberately taking revenge on himself?
If Zhu Xi knew what Song Yi was thinking at the moment, he would definitely be angry. He did not hesitate to upset the emperor, or for whom? How can there be such a person who doesn't know what to do?
Of course, these only happened in an instant, and Song Yi and Zhu Xi were far from reaching the realm of heart-to-heart.
The emperor reprimanded, but Zhu Xi was not too worried.
After thinking about it for a while, the so-called "companion is like a tiger", although today's saint is suspicious by nature, he is not a memoral king.
Since Zhu Xi dared to speak to the emperor like this, he expected that the emperor would not really be angry.
Zhu Xi continued: "The emperor is sage. Although the Jurchens were the overlords of the grasslands, their martial arts and martial arts could not be compared with those of the Qian. Although the Jurchen Khan was brave and good at fighting, his ministers heard that he drank blood and was very tyrannical; And my Qian, the peaceful and prosperous era, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the emperor is a generation of Ming monarchs who chase Yao Shun. and Nuhachi, although there are generals, but how can the shining fire compete with the sun and the moon? The Jurchen tribe does not measure its own strength, and tries in vain to shake the tree, which is destined to only kill itself. ”
"However, the Qianchao Dynasty has a lot of resources, and it also has great difficulties. If Henan and other places really become a disaster, I am afraid that the people's hearts will be turbulent and not conducive to national unity. At this time, the Jurchen tribe will provoke another war, and it will be difficult for us to protect our territory. If the war is stalemate, the people on the border will be displaced and complained. ”
"What the true king said is very true" Zhao Pang De listened to the words of the true king, his heart was very happy, and recently, he was also worried about the situation on the northern border.
Locust plagues have occurred in Henan and other places, rumors have spread among the people, and the morale of the army is unstable. The spies sent to the steppe also sent back news that he and Nuhachi Khan had ordered troops and were ready to move.
From this point of view, Song Yi offered a good plan to treat insects in time, which can be regarded as reducing the burden on the imperial court.
Zhao Pangde already had a plan in his heart, "What the true king said, I already know." As Aiqing said, Song Yi's plan has contributed to the court and society, and he should be rewarded."
The emperor and the real king were talking, and Song Yi had nothing to do with him at all.
In the end, Song Yi kowtowed in a daze. received 10,000 taels of gold, and also sealed a county lord, although he did not have any real power, but he was also able to take the court's money, and he was also a civil servant.
At this time, Song Yi did not understand the great significance of being named the county lord this time.
Although the people of the Qiandi Dynasty were open, they were strictly hierarchical. Almost all county lords are the daughters of county lords and princes. A little girl like Song Yi can be named the county lord, which is a step to the sky.
The emperor left the real king alone, saying that there was something important to discuss with him, so Song Yi stepped back first.
Song Yi retired, left the Qianqing Palace, and waited outside the palace.
Before leaving, Zhu Xi told Song Yi to let her wait outside the hall and not walk anywhere.
Song Yi nodded yes, and walked out of the hall in a daze.
Song Yi followed a eunuch behind him, with red lips and white teeth, a face like powder, lips like grease, charming eyebrows, and a natural daughter.
When Song Yi was bored outside the hall, he suddenly looked up and saw a familiar back walking in the middle of the road in front of the Qianqing Palace.
Song Yi only felt five thunderbolts, and he couldn't believe the person he saw just now.
Although I looked at the past from afar, I saw a blurred side face of a person.
But that familiar feeling instantly filled Song Yi's heart.
Song Yi hurriedly chased forward, and the eunuch behind him hurriedly followed and stretched out his hand to stop him.
Song Yi struggled, took a quick step, and shook off the eunuch who followed him.
After this delay, when Song Yi left the gate of Qianqing Palace, the person was nowhere to be seen.
Just now, Song Yi followed his acquaintances, but he didn't pay attention to the way he came, and now that he has reached a strange realm, he doesn't know where to go.
Song Yi didn't keep his soul, so he simply wandered around the palace by his temperament.
Song Yi was aimless, as he chose the direction with his feelings, unconsciously, he was getting farther and farther away from the Qianqing Palace, turning around, passing a flower arch, and instantly entering another new world.
It turned out that Song Yi came to the palace garden.
The imperial garden of the palace is lush and green, the flying pavilion water pavilion, the corridor garden swamp, and the rare birds and beasts, all of which make people dazzled, as if falling into a fairyland.
Song Yi didn't know that the first time she entered the palace, she could see the most magnificent and extravagant royal garden in the legend.
Song Yi avoided people all the way and secretly walked around the garden.
It's really a disaster, when Song Yi accidentally broke into the imperial garden.
The new nobles in the palace are also taking their subordinates, accompanying their girlfriends, and visiting the imperial garden.
And this Qi nobleman is none other than Wang Shutong, the grandson of the former King Yin of Jingzhao Mansion and Hanzhou!
It's really a narrow road, and there must be a good show to watch!
