Chapter 517: A war of words above the court
Chu Yueli didn't sleep well this night, but she couldn't toss and turn because of the injury on her back, which was really annoying. Fortunately, she had a good quality in her heart and forced herself to sleep, but she also achieved the purpose of recuperation.
Before dawn, Chu Yueli inserted the night pearl hairpin into a small porcelain bottle to light up the furnishings in the house.
Duobao entered the house and helped Chu Yueli dress up.
On the gray-blue tulle sleeves, daisies are embroidered with silver thread, swaying in the wind. A white full-breasted skirt with the color of mountains and rivers on the chest. The hem of the skirt is also a dark green landscape, which looks very elegant and beautiful. Two long silver ribbons around the waist are soft and elegant. The bun was lightly pulled and two beaded flowers were ordered. On the ears, there are two round pearls. There is no excessive decoration, there is no head full of pearls and emeralds, and there is no grace and luxury, but it is like the landscape brewed by the spirit of beauty between heaven and earth, clear and bright, and the charm is extraordinary.
Chu Yueli painted a makeup, which was neither thick nor light, but added three points of color, making herself look less unpretentious.
Duobao said: "Master, they all say that the palace is full of nobles, don't you really wear more jewelry?" When the slave saw his wife enter the palace, his hands, neck, and head would be shining with gold. ”
Chu Yueli said: "What kind of identity you are, what kind of dress you have to make." It's too much, and that's good. ”
Duobao praised: "That's right. It's so good-looking, master. Instead, he asked, "I don't know how Sister Hongxiao is, has she settled down?" ”
Chu Yueli replied: "If I have a chance today, I will inquire about it, you don't need to worry." ”
Duobao nodded and replied, "The slave is waiting for news from the master." ”
"Knock knock......" There was a knock on the door.
Chu Yueli stood up and said, "Let's go." ”
Duobao nodded, took a deep breath, and followed Chu Yueli out of the Wisteria Pavilion.
The people in the Chu Mansion knew that Chu Yueli was going out, but they didn't know where she was going. Even Master Chu couldn't figure it out. After all, last night, Gonggong Tao's people were not good, which caused everyone in the Chu Mansion to be silent and not bright, lest they would be arrested if they fell asleep. Later, some guards came to visit again, claiming to see Miss Chu San. When he was asked who had sent him, no one answered.
The Chu family covered their hearts and guessed. It was a noisy night, and no one really fell asleep at all. They were scared, and Hua Fa was suddenly born, and the people who originally thought that they could accompany Chu Yue's glass chicken dog to ascend to heaven were also on fire, lest something go wrong with the silver she donated. Ay...... All in all, it's going to be dead! If you continue to toss like this, you can be tortured to death.
Before dawn, Master Chu was also going to the court, and when he saw Chu Yueli, he immediately darkened his face and said, "Where are you going early in the morning?!" ”
Chu Yueli replied: "Just go around." ”
Chu Da was so angry that he immediately didn't choose to speak, and said angrily: "Everyone, how many girls are like you who don't know how to check!" ”
Chu Yueli thought for a while, and replied: "The father insulted his daughter so much, is it because the daughter donated nearly three million taels of silver, and did not leave some filial piety to her father?" ”
Lord Chu was revealed the truest thoughts in his heart, and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! Licentious! ”
Chu Yueli approached Lord Chu and said in a low voice, "Don't you want to spend me a copper plate!" However, if Gonggong Tao comes to interrogate me again, I will definitely pull Chu Mansion as a backstop. So, father, you still ask God to worship the Buddha and bless me, and I will be safe. With that, she lifted her chin and turned to walk out, which was called a domineering person.
Lord Chu only felt that his eyes were black, and he didn't take a breath, and he almost fainted. He shook his body a bit before he managed to hold himself on the ground. He pointed to Chu Yueli's back and shouted, "If you dare to go out today, don't come back!" ”
Chu Yueli was waiting for this sentence. Catering to the rising morning light, Chu Yueli squinted and smiled: "Father, you are so ruthless!" With that, he plunged into the carriage.
Lord Chu chased out of the door, and wanted to teach this unfilial daughter a lesson by force, but he saw that there were guards following in front and behind the carriage where Chu Yueli was sitting. Moreover, the arrogant man who brought people into the Chu Mansion last night was also there.
The cold and arrogant man in the mouth of Lord Chu is actually Xiao Yi. If Duobao knew that Lord Chu thought of Xiao Yi so much, he would definitely laugh so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.
Xiao Yi stood with his sword in his hand, flew on the horse, glanced at Lord Chu, and walked proudly on the side of Chu Yueli's carriage.
Lord Chu frowned slightly, feeling that something seemed to be wrong, and he also hurriedly got into the carriage and rushed towards the imperial city.
The sky was slightly bright, the ministers were in the early dynasty, and the eunuchs' singing promises were passed down in waves, just like the difficulty of meeting the Son of Heaven, which needed to come up layer by layer.
Hundreds of officials stand left and right, and it seems that there is a gap between them, but in fact, they are all working for the royal family, fighting for the interests of you to the death.
After the hundred officials stood still, the emperor stepped on the dragon and tiger steps, and sat on the cage chair.
After all the officials paid their respects, the folds also floated to the emperor's desk like snowflakes.
Among the many voices involved, the management of the flood and the pacification of the refugees were the most lively. This piece that no one wanted to touch suddenly turned into a hot dumpling. Those officials who are usually not very active have also asked for orders to deal with the river and treat the victims.
The emperor listened expressionlessly to the ministers arguing over this, you come and go, it's not lively. The emperor's heart is like a mirror, and what makes these people crazy is not the errand of Du Qi, but Chu Yueli's 2.87 million taels of silver. This money, not to mention the construction of dikes and the treatment of the victims, is enough even if it remediates ten more plagued places. Such a big stroke, even if a little oil and water is exposed, it is enough for these greedy people to be covered with oil.
The emperor watched them quarrel coldly, secretly spying on those delicate relationships, and only when they were tired of arguing did he speak: "Everyone, Aiqing......"
The ministers immediately shut up.
The emperor said slowly: "It is imminent to cross the flood. The well-being of the displaced people is the hope of the country. This errand has been handed over to Yunjian to do, why do you Aiqing have objections? ”
Zou He was out of the list and said: "The six princes are the most admirable for the country and the people. However, the sixth prince is in poor health and is no longer suitable for long-distance travel. Crossing the flood is urgent, and the ministers are willing to take the lead and share the emperor's worries. ”
Ning Yunhan said: "The flood was originally a chore, the emperor allocated 30,000 taels, and ordered the local officials to open a warehouse for disaster relief, although it can appease the displaced people, but it can't stand the heavy rain for many days. Now, if you get Miss Chu San's 2.87 million taels of silver, even if this errand is not rich, it can turn natural disasters into peace, so why do you need to break your brains and want to bear good fruits? ”
Zou He said: "Lord Ning actually treats me and others who are dedicated to the feast and the emperor like this, isn't it going to chill people's hearts!" ”
The ministers chimed in.
Ning Yunhan said: "The words that are exported are sincere. Looking at the emperor, "Although the minister is dull, he is willing to be a lonely minister, for the emperor and the feast, bow to the best of his ability, and die, why not be afraid of offending the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!" ”
Some people immediately echoed and praised Ning Yunhan for his character, and even the emperor nodded with a smile.
