Chapter 116
Li Guiyi took out a letter from her cuff and handed it to Xiao Cui and said, "You and send this letter of mine to my father's hand." He'll understand, of course. Go ahead. ”
Xiao Cui took the letter raft and said, "Yes." Liguiyi. The slave maid will go to the prime minister now. ”
In the Phoenix Palace. Lu Xin lay quietly on the chaise longue. The big eyes are moving up and down, left and right. She just couldn't understand why she was bumped into by Xuanyuan Rui when she met Murong Jin twice. This is no coincidence. Since it's not a coincidence. That's what someone did on purpose. Could it be that he was being targeted? Murong Jin was still targeted. And who is keeping an eye on him? How much did that man know about himself? All kinds of questions made Lu Xin lose her sense of security in this palace. She didn't care about her life. But. She would never let the people in the Phoenix Palace put their lives in danger for their own sake.
Lu Xin beckoned Xiao Xuan and said, "Xiao Xuan." You arrange for two clever palace maids to check if anyone is watching the Phoenix Palace or me. See who is behind the scenes. Remember to remind the two of them not to startle the snake. You can't tell anyone about it. Do it secretly. ”
Xiao Xuan asked in surprise, "Guirong." Do you think someone is spying on us? So what to do. In case that person finds out about your affairs outside the palace. Then .......... ”
Lu Xin said: "What a panic. The matter has not yet been clarified. Don't mess with yourself first. Hurry up and do as I say. ”
Xiao Xuan responded: "Yes." The slave and maid went at once. ”
The next day, above the court. Xuanyuan Rui asked, "Now." The common people and herdsmen in the northern part of the country have suffered disasters due to this heavy snowstorm. Not long ago. You propose that all the local officials open warehouses and release grain. But. The situation is still going on. Many victims did not hesitate to leave their homes and beg to come to the capital. Many people are still hungry. Hunger and cold. Do you have a better proposal? ”
Prime Minister Wang said, "Return to the emperor." This year's snow has been heavier and longer than usual. That's why the people's food reserves are insufficient. In the face of so many people. The stockpiling of grain in the government office is also very limited. ”
Xuanyuan Rui said: "If you transfer food from the nearest county. What do you think. ”
Lord Shangshu said, "Return to the emperor." Now the blizzard is spreading all over the country. The grain depots of the local yamen are only just enough for the local needs. If it is transferred to disaster relief. Won't that fill the gap over there? But did you dig a big hole here? The minister thinks it is inappropriate. ”
The other officials also agreed with what Master Shang Shu said. Everyone scrambled to echo the answer.
Xuanyuan Rui said: "Then let the disaster continue." Do you let the people live like this? Is there no way? ”
The ministers in the hall were all talking. But no one made a suggestion.
"This matter must be resolved. I will give you a good solution to the disaster and save the people within three days. If nothing else. Then disperse. ”
Then. An old courtier with a third-rank official position stood up and said, "Your Majesty." The minister has something to do. ”
Xuanyuan Rui said, "Aiqing, please speak."
The old courtier said, "Your Majesty." Recently, the palace has been talking about Xingui's lawlessness. Misconduct. Several times I had a private meeting with the prince. It has seriously damaged your dignity and the reputation of our royal family. The minister implored the emperor to dispose of Xin Guirong. To uphold people's hearts. to the court. ”
Xuanyuan Rui originally thought that what the old courtier was going to say was a disaster. But I never thought that the matter of the harem would also be moved to the court. Xuanyuan Rui held back his anger. I also want to see who started it first. He asked, "Oh. There are such things. What do you think about this matter? ”
Master Chen said, "Your Majesty." The concubines in the palace have a private meeting with men who are so disrespectful of etiquette and shame. It is serious and even endangers the legitimacy of the royal heirs. This should have been a capital offense. remembered that Xin Guirong once had the merit of saving the driver. She can be given a lighter punishment. Cut off the title. Moved to the cold palace. The minister implored the emperor to dispose of Xin Guirong. ”
Xuanyuan Rui listened. I smiled in my heart. The answer to this was a direct sentence. It seems that they are all united. Someone must have wanted to put Xin'er to death. Xuanyuan Rui said, "If that's the case. That's really serious. But you also said it. It's just a discussion in the palace. I don't know if it's true. And. The major issue at the moment is to solve the problem of grain and grass disaster relief. Xin Guirong's matter was slowly discussed. ”
Everyone saw that the emperor wanted to pass over the matter of disposing of Xin Guirong. I don't know what to do for a while. Then. Prime Minister Wang Cheng also spoke: "Return to the emperor." Although the matter of food and grass is in a hurry. But. Xin Guirong's moral character is related to the emperor. It's about royalty. It's a big deal. Please also ask the emperor to decide. If Xin Guirong really seduces the prince. And if you make an appointment in private. He also asked the emperor to make a fair and impartial decision. so that others in the palace can learn from it. Establish a good atmosphere. ”
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Rui said angrily: "Presumptuous. One by one, you are not trying to find a way to save the people for the people. Instead, I took care of my harem. Retreat. ”
After Xuanyuan Rui finished speaking, he was about to step away from the dragon seat. But the ministers all knelt down at once. And said in unison: "Ask the emperor to dispose of Xin Guirong."
Xuanyuan Rui looked at the ministers in the hall coldly. Speechless for a while. He thought. Who else can unite the entire court except the prime minister? It's just that. Why is he in such a hurry to get rid of Xin'er. Is it for Liki.
Just when Xuanyuan Rui had nothing to do for a while. The sound of laughter suddenly sounded outside the door of the Xuanzheng Palace. Followed by. Everyone saw Murong Jin walk in from the door. I saw that he still smiled and said: "If you want to decide the crime of Xin Guirong and this prince's private meeting. Then you have to ask me as a client. Such a hasty judgment of a woman's virtues. Could this be Yu Liguo's style of judging cases? ”
Then. Master Chen said: "This is what the palace people have seen with their own eyes. It's not groundless. How can it be hasty? ”
Murong Jin said: "Of course, this is not groundless. This king did have a two-sided relationship with Xin Guirong. But it's not a private meeting as everyone says. We just happened to meet in the palace. Said private meeting. Then you have to come up with some proof of correspondence. ”
Lord Chen was speechless by Murong Jin. He looked at Murong Jin and said, "This ......." This one....... ”
Murong Jin continued: "Adults, you have to think clearly. It doesn't hurt to slander Xin Guirong without any evidence. But. If it involves this prince. Then the treaty of diplomatic relations between these two countries will have to be revised and revised. ”
The old courtiers in the hall all looked at each other. was shocked by Murong Jin's words. Everyone doesn't have to weigh the severity, and they also know that of course they can't offend Prince Shun, the envoy of the alliance, by disposing of Xin Guirong. So. All of them had their heads down. I didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Xuanyuan Rui looked at Murong Jin. Then he looked at the audience and said, "Later." There is no real evidence, who dares to go to the court again. All should be beheaded. Retreat. ”
Li Guiyi never thought that she would not be able to hurt Lu Xin in the slightest if she mobilized her father's forces. She said to Prime Minister Wang: "Father." Although it was not the emperor who came forward to save that Xin Guirong. But. It can be seen that this precious face is not allowed to be ignored. Even the prince of Landan Kingdom defended her guilt. But this woman is indeed not simple. As long as there is her presence for a day. I have no peace. I don't just want to know where she is. I also want to know about her past. ”
After Prime Minister Wang listened to Li Guiyi's words. After thinking about it, he said, "Daughter." It's not hard to know what she's doing right now. If you want to check her past. I'm afraid it will take some effort and time. And. She came all the way from Shu Xinguo to follow the emperor. Then you have to send someone to the new country to find out. Daddy believes that you will definitely sit on the throne of the queen. You should put more thought on the emperor. I'll leave the rest to the Father. You know. ”
Li Guiyi responded obediently: "Daddy, don't worry." The daughter will serve the emperor with all her heart. ”
Prime Minister Wang Cheng said reassuringly: "Hmm." That's good. Then the father went back to the house first. ”
Li Guiyi said, "Yes. Daddy walks slowly. Be careful along the way. Greetings for my daughter. ”
Xiao Guan hurriedly came to the Phoenix Palace early in the morning, waiting to report to Lu Xin about the business situation in the capital. I saw that Lu Xin hadn't dressed up yet. Just put on a thick mink fur cloak and walked out. She walked out slowly and then continued to lie down on the chaise longue. After glancing at the small tube, he asked, "Why do you have to come to Guirong early in the morning?" I really can't feel at ease if I want to sleep in. ”
Xiao Tou hurriedly said, "My aunt." You're still asleep. The outside of the city was turned upside down. Now the snow has been falling for a long time and has not stopped. Food is already running out of food in many places. Twenty grain stores in our city are almost sold out. The shopkeeper said that it would go on like this. The food in our warehouse won't last a few days. What can I do? ”
Lu Xin probably heard a little clearly. Speaking of spirits, he said, "That's a good business." Unexpectedly, Ben Guirong took over and soon after, and the business was booming. Good. All right. ”
Xiao Bozi hurriedly said, "This is of course good. But. If we run out of grain in our warehouse, we will have to close our doors. I think about the reason why you bought all the grain stores so easily. Presumably, those bosses are also unable to buy grain and rice in various places. I know that sooner or later, this business will not be sustainable. So. I am willing to sell it to you. What can I do now? The shopkeepers ordered people to go around buying grain and rice. Nothing was found. ”
At this time, Lu Xin finally heard that something was wrong. She thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit difficult to do. Let me think about it. ”
Xiao Tube said anxiously: "What else can I think of about this?" This is the state of the disaster. It can only be said that it is not the right time for our business to be done. In the dry food industry, it depends on the sky to eat. ”
The little tube chattered and said frustrated things. It made Lu Xin feel unpleasant. She said, "You go back first." Don't bother me crookedly with me. Send a message to the shopkeepers. Tomorrow we will meet in Jinfengxiang. Let's discuss countermeasures. ”
The little tube said, "Ah. He went out of the palace again. This. This....... ”
Xiao Xuan also said worriedly: "It didn't take long to anger the emperor." Now he went out of the palace again. The slave is really worried. Honorable. Don't go out later. ”
Xiao Bozi hurriedly responded: "Yes." Oh, yes. It's a head-scratching thing. ”
Lu Xin said: "I know you are very worried. But. This matter is urgent. I'm not going out to deal with it. I'm afraid all these grain shops are going to close down. It took me so much effort to grow my business. How could it be that all the work was wasted like this. ”
Xiao Guan and Xiao Xuan also nodded when they heard this. will remember that every time they left the palace before, they took a great risk. It was only now that such a result could be achieved. If you give up now. What a shame that is. But. Xiao Guanzi still said worriedly: "Guirong." Why don't you figure it out today? After thinking about it, let the minions go out alone and convey it to the shopkeepers. What do you think. ”
Lu Xin said: "It's not appropriate. Passing it around in this way is both time-consuming and easy to attract the attention of others. It's easier to expose our things. Do as I say. ”
Xiao Guanzi still wanted to persuade Lu Xin not to leave the palace easily. He said, "It's ....... This one.......... ”
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Tube and was still talking. She said impatiently: "Less nonsense. Don't hurry up and do it. What a wise person we are. Do you still have to worry about it? Go and go. Just worry less. ”
Xiao Xuan said so. Immediately settled down. He thought: Xin Guirong's ability. I can see it in my eyes. But this time ..........
The little tube was sent away. Lu Xin lay back in the bed. But I couldn't sleep. She had been thinking about the words of the little tube in the morning. Thinking about how to save your business.
Early the next morning. Lu Xin turned into a eunuch again. I went out of the palace with a small tube.
Xuanyuan Rui led a group of palace people to the Xuanzheng Palace. I was preparing to go to court. Suddenly. The guard Chen Qing had something urgent to report.
Chen Qing said: "The subordinates see the emperor."
Xuanyuan Rui said: "Flat." What's the matter? ”
Chen Qing looked at the person behind Xuanyuan Rui. Xuanyuan Rui immediately sent everyone aside. Then. Chen Qingcai said: "Your Majesty." Xin Guirong went out of the palace again. ”
Xuanyuan Rui listened. Immediately clenched his fists. The grim face carried a sense of anger. "She's so reckless," he said. I'm holding the arrow for her. But she wanted to hit the knife edge. Send someone to keep an eye on her whereabouts. If someone else is found stalking her. Kill them all. ”
After Xuanyuan Rui finished his order, he went up angrily.
When Lu Xin came to the capital with a small tube. I found that there were many ragged refugees on the street. And. Many of them have children with them. It's like a family. Lu Xin looked at the refugees and asked, "Little tube." Where did these people come from? Why are so many people begging in the capital all of a sudden? ”
