Chapter 59: A Sudden Mutation in the Middle Kingdom
Su Yuanqing knew people who came, and he often followed Zhou Jinghan, so he was also convinced of this, since the prince had spoken, Su Yuanqing naturally did not dare to disobey, he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it won't hurt her." ”
The person who came nodded, and handed a small box in his hand to Soho, "Third Miss, this is given to you by the prince, please accept it." ”
Soho put the hairpin away, then took the box, "I'm tired." ”
After the others left, Su Nian looked at the box in Su He's hand blankly as if he had no soul.
Although the second room was unwilling, after all, Zhou Jinghan couldn't be provoked, and he personally sent someone to pass the word, how could they dare to be disobedient?
"Nian'er, go back, be obedient." The second lady was helpless, so she could only pat Su Nian on the shoulder and say.
Su Nian kept sobbing and ran back crying.
A farce, and that's it.
Soho also felt exhausted, although she didn't care about these people, but she couldn't stand it when she was so noisy every day.
Back in the courtyard, Su Ho opened the box, and there were several pairs of precious medicinal materials inside, which she had been talking about today, but she didn't expect Zhou Jinghan to collect them so quickly.
Soho smiled at the corner of her mouth, no matter what, she had to go on energetically!
On the second day, Zhou Jinghan was still the same as usual, stepping on the point to go to the early dynasty, he was used to fighting on the frontier, and he was really not used to letting him come to the early dynasty every day with his official robe.
Today's early dynasty is still discussing the matter of flooding in the south and drought in the north as always, the emperor is sad, and the ministers below are also sad, after all, the emperor is angry, and their life will not be much better.
Although Zhou Jing also remembered this matter, he didn't look at the emperor's face the most, what should he do or what should he do, the emperor had nothing to do with him.
The emperor sat on the throne, glanced around and said, "Ministers, you are all the pillars of the country, this flood in the south and drought in the north has been there for a while, and you still haven't come up with any suitable method?" ”
The ministers looked at each other, but none of them dared to step forward.
The emperor took a deep breath, and his hand suddenly slapped on the table in front of him, "On weekdays, you can speak well one by one, and you can fold one after another, why are you all dumb at a critical time?" ”
The ministers below all lowered their heads, but Zhou Jinghan still raised his head.
The emperor glanced at Zhou Jinghan, a little helpless, he said, "The regent has a way?" ”
Zhou Jinghan said respectfully, "Back to the emperor, the minister will only lead the troops to fight, as for this kind of thing, the minister has not done it, at this time...... There is no suitable way, please ask the emperor for forgiveness. ”
The Emperor waved his hand, "Well, there is no sin to talk about. ”
"You have no way, but someone has come up with an idea for me, open a ditch, and divert the water from Jishui Huaishui to Xiqing, Anyang, Huaihua and other places, these places are important granaries of our dynasty, as long as these places are kept, then this year's grain will not be too much of a loss."
"The Emperor Shengming!" The ministers said in unison.
The Emperor snorted, "You're going to do this!" Okay, now that there is a way, and now you need someone to supervise this matter, who do you think is appropriate? ”
Zhou Chengyu originally wanted to propose it in today's court, but he didn't expect things to change suddenly, to this point, if this method is used, the chances of being able to do this thing are greater, and it seems to be an opportunity to take credit. He was about to come out and take the initiative to ask for help, but he was preempted by Sun Quangao, the head of the household department.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is only suitable for the regent, the prince has led the troops outside all the year round, and there is no defeat, it is enough to see that he has organizational ability, decisive and resolute, and now at this time, there is a trend of turmoil in the world, in order to prevent the people from making trouble, the prince is the most suitable, the prince is enough to shock people, and no one will find trouble and make trouble!"
After Sun Quangao finished speaking, Li Yushi also stood up and said, "The minister seconded the proposal, the regent is loyal to the country, and it is most appropriate to hand over this matter to the prince, please ask the emperor to decide!" ”
The waiter of the Ministry of Works also stood up, "The minister also seconded the proposal, the prince's ability is obvious to all, and the hidden dangers will definitely be properly solved." ”
Zhou Chengyu listened, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves, and he also firmly remembered the three ministers who spoke for Zhou Jinghan today.
When the emperor listened, he naturally set his eyes on Zhou Jinghan, but saw that Zhou Jinghan still looked indifferent, and he didn't come out to thank him, nor did he say anything, the emperor knew that he was unwilling!
In order not to be too ugly, the emperor could only say, "Well, okay, I will consider this matter, and I will also consider the words of the three Aiqing, okay, if there is nothing to do, retreat from the dynasty!" ”
As soon as Zhou Chengyu entered his study, his face fell, and the smile that had been hanging on his face had long since disappeared, he had a gloomy face, pacing back and forth in the room, and the sudden change in things this morning made him unable to react for a while, and now the emperor didn't know how to decide, he wanted to go to find out the news, but he didn't expect the emperor to refuse to see him, saying that he wanted to deal with government affairs, if there was nothing important, he would come back another day, but he clearly saw that Zhou Jinghan also went to the emperor's study!
Thinking of this morning, Zhou Chengyu was angry in his heart, he couldn't see how good these three people were with Zhou Jinghan on weekdays, but at this critical time, they all stood up to speak for him!
Zhou Chengyu squeezed a jade wine glass tightly in his hand, he suddenly slammed the cup on the ground, felt unrelieved, and picked up the vase on the side and fell to the ground.
Hearing the voice, a servant walked in, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhou Chengyu said in a deep voice, "You go and check on three people for me, Sun Quangao, the head of the household department, Li Yushi, and the squire of the Ministry of Works, you must find out everything in detail, find out their mistakes as officials, and collect all the evidence, I don't believe it, these three people can not make mistakes for many years!" When the time comes, I'll make them look good one by one! Zhou Chengyu slammed his fist on the table.
The attendants didn't dare to persuade him at this time, so they could only agree to leave.
In the Imperial Study.
The emperor rubbed his forehead, feeling burned.
Zhou Jinghan sat down and stuffed grapes into his mouth one by one.
The Emperor sighed, took a sip of tea, and said, "You really don't plan to do this errand?" He was about to wear out his mouth just now, but Zhou Jinghan just refused to agree, he knew the character of this imperial brother the most, and he didn't agree to it, and ten horses couldn't pull it back.
Zhou Jinghan shook his head, "Didn't you say that?" The minister is reluctant to go, but it is not to shirk, but I have not done it, I am afraid that it will not be done well, and my personal matter is small, if it is delayed, it is a major matter related to the people of the world! ”
"But today, the three important ministers of the court are all strongly recommending you, if you don't go, it seems that you can't say anything." The emperor said.
Zhou Jinghan said seriously, "Your Majesty, you are ashamed of the people of the world, and you really can't say anything." ”
Seeing Zhou Jinghan's insistence, the emperor had no choice but to give up.
When I returned to the mansion, someone came to report, "Lord Wang, Miss Su came to deliver medicine." ”
Zhou Jinghan's face, which had been tight, was a little moved, and he nodded, "What about her?" ”
"It's gone."
Zhou Jinghan seemed a little disappointed, but after all, he didn't say anything special, he said softly, "Got it." Then he left.
As soon as Soho returned to Sufu on the front foot, someone on the back foot went to report to the second room.
The second lady listened to the report of the visitor, it was called a gas, her eyes were red and bloodshot, her eyes were black, she was haggard, and her delicate makeup could not save her tired color, it can be seen that the second lady didn't sleep well at all last night!
"Slut, slut! I actually ran to the prince early in the morning! I think she did it on purpose, a little concubine, her heart is higher than the sky, hum, she didn't want to be a concubine for the prince before, she wanted to climb the high branches, yes, if she climbed the prince, it would be much better! What a shameless fox! The second lady scolded, not caring about her own image at all.
"Don't be angry with the second lady, the third lady didn't stay long when she went to the prince, and besides, the prince was in the early dynasty at that time, and the two didn't meet."
The second lady snorted coldly, "As long as she Soho has this thought, are you afraid that she won't be able to see it?" ”
"And now?"
The second lady rubbed her forehead, tired, "Keep staring at me!" ”
Soho worked in the room all day to develop the antidote, until the evening, the old lady's room Mama Xue came to say, "Third Miss, today's family banquet, everyone is in the front hall to the banquet, the old lady asked you to go too, clean up well, don't be late." ”
When Su He thought that all the people of the Su family were gathered together, he felt a headache, what is the difference between this and the Hongmen Banquet?
Soho smiled and said, "Mama also asked me to go back and tell the old lady, just say that I am not feeling well, and I am afraid that I will go to ruin everyone's interest, so I will not go." ”
Unexpectedly, Mama Xue said, "Third Miss, don't embarrass us, the old lady said, you have to go, if you really don't want to, then you can only go and tell the old lady yourself." ”
Seeing her insistence, it seemed that it was impossible for her not to go.
"Okay, I'll change my clothes and come." Soho entered the house and changed into a more plain clothes, a plain blue long skirt, there was no decoration around her body, and there was no extra hairpin on her head, only a silver hairpin was tied in her hair, and she wore a sachet on her body, she buried herself in the pile of medicinal herbs all day, the smell of herbs was too strong, and she needed to cover up.
When they arrived at the front hall, the entire hall was brightly lit and people came and went, and the maids and women served dishes one after another, everyone was already waiting here, even Su Qing was invited back, and everyone saw Su He coming, and their faces were different.
