Chapter 158: Pretty Little Girl
This trip to Chongyang, the road is long, after a few stops, and then changed boats.
Jiao Niang took a boat for the first time, and she was very uncomfortable, and she swayed on the boat for a few days, almost vomiting her bile. Ying Che was distressed when she saw it, and she couldn't relieve her discomfort, so she hugged her in her arms every day and let her pill on her lap.
"Lord Wang, bypass the two mountains in front of you and arrive at Chongyang. ”
Chongyang belongs to the south of Daqin, and the snow in the north has not yet melted, and spring flowers have bloomed here. The mountain is covered by a light green veil, and the ripening branches are half-open and half-closed, leaving a little cherry red.
In the summer, Chongyang flooded, many people died, and many crops were waterlogged, and in autumn, there was no harvest in many places, many people were displaced, and there were not a few who died of starvation.
Emperor Jianyuan sowed disaster relief funds in the household department at the first time, and sent the Ministry of Industry to relieve the disaster and fight floods, although the effect was remarkable, many people still died.
A few days ago, Emperor Jianyuan received a special letter, which was written in blood, which complained bitterly that Chongyang officials were corrupt and perverted the law, diverted disaster relief funds, filled their own pockets, lied about the number of deaths in large quantities, and asked the imperial court for disaster relief, but those ordinary people who were really affected by the disaster, they ignored it, and left them to fend for themselves.
On the fold, he also cited the actions of Chongyang officials over the years, and the pen and pen were outrageous, and Emperor Jianyuan was furious after seeing it, but he didn't want to startle the snake.
Therefore, this time, the reason for this success is to verify the disaster relief funds on the surface, but in fact, it is to secretly review these officials.
Ying Che glanced out, said "um", and lowered her head and touched Jiao Niang's face lovingly.
"Hold on and keep going, and it will be soon. ”
Jiao Niang lay softly in his arms, barely opened one eye, these days she was dizzy, seeing everything is ghosted, only in this way eyes open and closed, so as not to see the two Yingche.
"Your Highness said the same thing yesterday. She cried and chirped, and kicked her legs twice on the couch, and the quilt covering her body was half shortened.
Ying Che smiled dotingly, pulled the quilt for her, and said softly: "I won't tell you this time, I don't believe you asked Wang Zhan." ”
Hearing his name called, Wang Zhan didn't have a card, so he stood up directly and said: "Yes, Concubine Fang, we have arrived at the Chongyang realm, and we can go ashore when we see it." ”
Jiao Niang barely stood up, looked out, and sure enough, it was no longer endless, and she could vaguely see the other side.
Her sad face for many days finally relaxed, as if she had walked in the desert for many days and finally saw a water spring, but at this time, the boat suddenly jolted, and the smile she had just raised suddenly froze, and she picked up the empty bowl and vomited it clean.
After many days, I finally walked to the flat ground, although my feet and legs were soft at this time, but Jiao Niang felt at ease from the bottom of my heart.
The officials of Chongyang greeted them at the shore early in the morning, and they received a messenger yesterday that they knew that they would arrive today, but they did not know exactly when, so they greeted them here early in the morning.
"The ministers greet His Royal Highness King Rui, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose. Under the leadership of Taishou Zhang Yan, the officials bowed to Yingche.
This prostration is generally done to the emperor or the crown prince, and to others, it is suspected of trespassing.
Wang Zhan glanced at Ying Che and glanced at each other, hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, please get up, our prince really can't afford such a big gift." ”
That Zhang Yan has a fat head and big ears, but he is white, he is not tall, and Wang Zhan is hunched and taller than him.
He smiled flatteringly, "I can stand it, I can stand it, His Royal Highness King Rui is the most favored prince of the Holy Lord, and he is also the Lord of the Chincha, this act of doing things for the Holy Old Man represents the Holy Lord, and this kind of great gift should be accepted." ”
In the previous life, Jiao Niang was a delicate flower raised by Ying Che in the Rui Wang's mansion, never cared about the trivial matters of the court, and never asked or heard about Ying Che's business. I only know that the saint is very partial to Yingche, but Yingche is always salty and indifferent to the saint, which always gives people an illusion that the father-son relationship between the two has been reversed.
For example, after Chongyang and his party, someone in the court impeached Yingche, saying that he forced local officials to kneel down to him and bow to him.
Later, he sent a personal eunuch over and sent a lot of rare treasures, which was quite flattering.
As for Emperor Jianyuan's flattery, Ying Che just scoffed, and when he happened to be in her room, he gave it all to her.
I don't know much about the government and politics, and I thought that Yingche was too arrogant at the time, but now it seems that he didn't do his business.
The corners of Ying Che's mouth curled up slightly, as if smiling rather than smiling, looking at Zhang Yan with a strange meaning, examining it for a moment, and saying, "Lord Zhang is very good at flattering people." ”
He said it too directly, which made Zhang Yan stunned for a moment of embarrassment, and then smiled calmly: "Your Highness praises, and the lower officials are overjoyed." But this is not flattery," he slowly approached Ying Che, and lowered his voice only the two of them could hear, "Who doesn't know that His Highness is the most noble person in this Great Qin Dynasty, except for the Holy Lord." ”
Ying Che stared at him seriously, and before leaving, he saw Hua Junze and learned about Zhang Yan from him.
According to Hua Junze, this Zhang Yan is the champion of the eighteenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and he has the meaning of a young talent. It's just that he was young and vigorous, and he had a conflict with the authoritative officials at the time because of political affairs, and was sent out as an official.
A person with no background has risen so fast in a few years, is it just because he can make sycophants?
Ying Che shrunk his eyelids, then smiled Lang Lang, and pointed his finger at him weakly, "Can speak." ”
Zhang Yan nodded and bowed, looking like a servant, "This is the sincere words of the lower official." He made a gesture of "please" to the front, "The lower official mansion has prepared wine and food for His Highness, please get on the sedan chair." ”
Ying Che said "um", then raised his feet and walked forward, took two steps, and suddenly turned around and looked at Jiao Niang.
Jiao Niang's face was still pale, her lips were colorless, and she followed behind with her head drooping, so weak that she seemed to faint to the ground in the next moment.
Although Ying Che couldn't bear it, because of her identity, she had to endure it, so she stepped into the sedan chair.
Zhang Yan was very attentive to Yingche's every move, and naturally noticed this glance, and couldn't help but look at Jiao Niang.
But I saw that it was just a small house, but he was exceptionally handsome, although he was a man, he had a sense of peach blossoms, and he couldn't help but sigh that there was such a beautiful man in this world.
Thinking about the look of King Rui just now, his mind turned for a while, his eyes lit up, and his eyes went back and forth between the sedan chair and Jiao Niang's face a few times, and he suddenly understood.
It turns out that King Rui still has this hobby.
Originally, I only heard that there were a lot of beautiful wives and concubines in King Rui's mansion, and now a little flower concubine is the most favored, and he was afraid that King Rui would be lonely, so he deliberately found a few beauties.
But now it seems that his efforts have been in vain, so he still has to find a few beautiful little boys.
Just as he was thinking wildly, Ying Che lifted the sedan curtain and wrinkled his eyebrows, "Lord Zhang?"
Zhang Yan hurriedly responded and shouted: "Get up the sedan chair." ”
Wang Zhan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, hmm? Why did you still grab his life? This Lord Zhang has a future.
