Chapter 70: Zhu Xi Shows Love?

Due to the great drought in Henan, Song Yi's name has become the hottest name in Kyoto.

In the minds of the people who have suffered from locust plagues in Henan and other places, Song Yi has been rendered as a goddess from heaven and a living Bodhisattva.

There are even folk songs among the people.

"The goddess descended from heaven and fell into the mortal dust. The true king and goddess, the wisdom is unparalleled. Alleviate the suffering of the people, save the suffering! ”

When Song Yi first heard about it, he thought it was very exaggerated.

I just came up with some ideas, how can everyone know about it?

Song Yi didn't know that behind all this was the intention of the true king.

As for why did Zhu Xi let his subordinates spread the news of Song Yi's plan? Only the true king himself knows.

On this day, Song Yi rested alone in the house.

These days, the True King's Mansion is also very lively. Because the treatment of the insect plague in Henan was carried out in an orderly manner, the Zhenwangfu was once again in the limelight.

An official with a lively mind knows that the real king's mansion has meritorious deeds, and will definitely be rewarded by the emperor for meritorious deeds. So, I handed over the post in advance to build a good relationship.

Of course, there are many worship posts that invite Song Yi.

But they were all rejected by Zhu Xi on behalf of Song Yi.

Although Zhu Xi did not explain to Song Yi, Song Yi felt that the big stone in his heart had fallen.

She understands the truth that "the gun shoots the first bird", "people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong", and "fortune and misfortune depend on it".

The more this kind of time is praised by everyone, the more we should keep our heads in the dark and act in a low-key manner.

Song Yi is happy to be idle in the real king's mansion and ignore mundane things.

It's just that after suffering the real king, Zhu Xi has been busy for many days.

Song Yi was in the room, bored, flipping through the books in the small study.

She has been having a relaxed life lately, and she only reads idle books all day except for practicing calligraphy.

Song Yi still reads some medical books the most. Since the last time he got sick, Song Yi felt that learning some medical skills might save his life at a critical time.

Song Yi was fascinated and didn't know that someone had come in.

Zhu Xi got out of the banquet of Marquis Anding and returned to the palace.

The wine is not gone, and I have no intention of sleeping.

Seeing the lights and shadows in the West Wing, I wanted to chat with Song Yi.

Zhu Xi asked his subordinates not to disturb and enter the house alone.

Song Yi was the only one in the room, reading at his desk at night.

Song Yi, who is quiet and serious, exudes a different kind of charm throughout his whole person.

Zhu Xi unconsciously thought that that day in his study, Song Yi faced all the adults, did not have stage fright, and talked eloquently.

Such a confident and intelligent woman is no longer comparable to the so-called "talented women" who have nothing to offer.

Zhu Xi's heart was sweet, and his eyes looked at Song Yi more and more deeply.

Song Yi read the book and was engrossed, but did not find anything abnormal.

I felt thirsty and wanted to pick up the gai bell on the table and drink tea.

When I looked up, I found a man in the shadows.

Song Yi was startled, and when she saw the person clearly, she was a little relieved.

The man was so elusive, Song Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

But soon returned to normal, "Lord, why are you here so late?" ”

"What's going on with this Xianglian? When the prince came, he didn't report it. Slaves and maids should prepare in advance."

Zhu Xi smiled, "This king let her go down"

"This king just came back from eating and drinking, and saw that there was a light in your house, and thought that he hadn't seen you for many days, so he came to see you."

Song Yi was moved in his heart, but he didn't spare a single point, "Lord, have you been drinking again?" Drinking alcohol hurts your body, you still have to pay more attention"

As he spoke, Song Yi poured a cup of hot tea for Zhu Xi and handed it to Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi did not refuse, took the tea, and sat on the chair that Song Yi had just sat on.

"This king just saw that you are serious, what 'idle books' have you been reading recently?"

Song Yi thought that she had been saying that her method was seen from the wild history magazine, and now, the prince was teasing her.

Song Yi didn't answer, only said, "I didn't read anything, I was just bored, and I just read some medical books to relieve my boredom."

"Why do you suddenly remember to read a medical book? Do you understand? Zhu Xi put down the Gai Zhong'er in his hand and opened the book Song Yi was reading, which was "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing".

"The slave doesn't know anything about medical science, and the medical books are a little obscure and difficult to understand, so I don't understand them very well. However, the slave and maid are just idle and boring, and they know some of the truth that yin and yang are mutually reinforcing, just don't use the wrong medicine indiscriminately at critical moments."

Song Yi's explanation, Zhu Xi did not question it, nodded and stopped talking.

Zhu Xi didn't speak, and Song Yi didn't know what to say.

Thinking of the situation in Henan and other places, he casually asked, "Lord Wang, the slave maid heard that the insect plague in Henan and other places has been cured, and the people have re-cultivated, right?" ”

Zhu Xi looked up at Song Yi, smiled, and said, "Yes." In Henan and other places, insect pests have been controlled. Although it is almost May now, and the spring planting has been delayed, the local officials and local people are rushing to plant, and they should still be able to recover the next season's grain."

"That's good" Song Yi heard this, and his heart fell to the ground.

"It's just that the people have lost one season of crops, and I'm afraid that the days after this year will be even more miserable, I don't know ......"

Song Yi thought of the people in Henan and other places, and couldn't help but sympathize.

"Don't worry either. Henan and other places suffered from insect plagues, and the imperial court would not ignore them. The emperor has approved the prime minister's recital, and the imperial court will recently order that Henan and other places will be exempted from taxes for one year, and the seeds planted in autumn will be provided free of charge."

"That's great, today's saint is really a Ming Jun" Song Yi was overjoyed when he heard that the imperial court was going to reduce taxes.

Zhu Xi looked at Song Yi's heartfelt smile, and was greatly moved in his heart, and couldn't help but speak, "The imperial court has reduced taxes, are you so happy?" ”

Song Yi didn't think about it, and almost blurted out, "That's nature." Lord Wang, you are high, I am afraid that you do not know the suffering of the people. Ordinary people rely on the sky for food. Once there is a natural disaster and insect pest, the farming work is delayed, and the livelihood of the whole family becomes a problem. Henan and other places suffered a once-in-a-century insect plague this time, and because of the policy of lime insect control, spring planting was delayed. If the imperial court does not reduce taxes, more families will really die. If the imperial court ignores it, what will happen in Henan and other places, the slave and maid really dare not imagine"

Song Yi was talking and talking, and the scene of "Purgatory Map" kept flashing back in his mind, dying and starving, cooking human flesh in a pot, annihilating human nature, and being miserable.

Of course, Song Yi will not say this. The imperial court has already wanted to make amends, which shows that the emperor is still a good emperor.

Song Yi's words made Zhu Xi shake, and he couldn't help but think of his own idea again.

"What about you?"

"Me?" Song Yi looked at the prince in confusion.

"If you have made a meritorious contribution this time, the emperor will definitely reward you. When the time comes, what do you want? ”

"Lord, are you saying that the emperor will summon me?"

"Nine times out of ten, now the entire Qianying Dynasty is singing folk songs, and the emperor has also heard that this insect control measure is from you"

"Huh?" Song Yi was depressed. Is she a little girl, can she still "bathe in the emperor's grace"?

"If you don't have an idea. This king has a good idea."

"You offered your plan this time to save the people from fire and water, and also solved the big problems of the imperial court. In addition to rewarding you with countless gold and silver, the emperor will also give you a female county lord. When the time comes, you'll no longer be a girl."

"The female county lord?" When Song Yi heard this, his whole head was clouded. Is this how you are?

"When the time comes, you will be able to marry this king in the bright light," Zhu Xiwu said to himself.

But Song Yi was scared silly, "What the hell? It's not that the emperor wants to make her the female county lord, why do you want to marry the prince? ”

Song Yi's eyes widened and he looked at the real king Zhu Xi in disbelief.
