Chapter 1 First Encounter
During the Yongping period, the new emperor ascended the throne at the beginning, and the people outside the court were peaceful, and the court was strict in hierarchy.
Since the founding of the empress, the Great Spirit Dynasty has a history of nearly two hundred years, but as the saying goes, things must be reversed, prosperity must decline, since the founding of the Great Spirit, although women can produce a large number of people, female poets, female dancers, female champions, women in Beijing, all have the ability to do it, but as time goes by, the momentum of this woman who is talented and can go to the world has gradually subsided, but there are still women who do not give up with their talents and gall, and break into Beijing, but the situation is not optimistic.
In the prosperous era of prosperity, the crisis is everywhere, the party of King Xin firmly controls the lifeline of the imperial court, there is still a critical military chaos in the southwest, and the new emperor is busy as soon as he ascends the throne.
At that time, in the late summer and early autumn, it rained heavily for days.
Disasters from all over the country flew into the palace like snowflakes, and the mood of the current emperor was like thunder outside, exploding from time to time.
On the splendid hall, hundreds of civil and military officials are lined up in order, and the dark clouds outside the hall make up for the humidity in the rain.
It would have been normal for the sun to shine on the earth on a sunny day, but because of the heavy rain for months, the sky was still gloomy and covered with a layer of black cloth.
The ministers all stood straight, and they all calculated that this weather had lasted for more than a month, although they didn't show it on their faces, they knew that the emperor was depressed in their hearts, and they all thought that they didn't dare to commit trouble at this time.
The emperor's heart is not stable, and all the ministers are in danger.
Everyone didn't eat well, they couldn't sleep, and when they saw the emperor, they all played 120,000 points of spirit, and she was a little sleepy standing in the team at the moment.
She looked at the silent colleagues around her, and wanted to stand up with them, but who knew that her body was soft, and the neat team showed that she was a little dazzling.
She just left the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry, day and night to read the Ministry of Works, last night was an all-nighter, the old Shangshu is old, has long been not much concerned with the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, only when necessary to go out of the mountain to close the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, this can be bitter Su Huai'an.
She is young and has solid bones, and after a period of time, it is inevitable that she will be dazed in the court, and she will involuntarily feel a little tired.
She saw the chaos of the courtiers, and pondered the books she couldn't read last night, and felt like yawning for no reason, and now she tried to keep her eyes open, trying to relieve her troubled spirit.
Standing next to Su Huai'an is Wu Feiwu, the secretary of the criminal department who is most accustomed to Su Huai'an, Wu Feiwu has always been rigorous, and he also prefers to promote clean and neat subordinates.
He looked at Su Huai'an's lazy look that he couldn't raise his eyelids in the court today, and secretly sighed in his heart, Yongping actually reached the point of using female officials, like this woman should have found someone at home, guarding the small world in the backyard, she can show off, and if she wants to join in the fun, the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, he can't even look at her, and a glance is a burst of anger, and there is another person who is more angry than him.
In front of the golden dragon coiling around the throne, the emperor froze and paced back and forth with a cold face.
The former waiter of the Ministry of Industry was ineffective in managing the Yellow Trouble, and he cured the crime of ineffective work of the former waiter of the Ministry of Industry in a fit of anger, but he didn't investigate who else could use it, so he pushed Su Huai'an, who was worried about his ability, to the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Industry.
As soon as he thought of Su Huai'an, the young emperor couldn't help but get angry.
When he was not on the throne, he saw Su Huai'an a few times, and every time he saw his hard work, he looked better than ordinary people, and always admired Su Huai'an's hard work and modesty.
Before Su Huai'an took office, he also asked Su Huai'an's opinion, a woman has to do the Ministry of Works, which costs a lot of money, and it must be a little difficult for a man to work.
At that time, Su Huai'an had red mouth and white teeth, kneeling on the ground and begging for his life, he was bound to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry for the emperor, who would have thought that the Ministry of Industry would be used now, but Su Huai'an was helpless, there was no way to think of a way, it was not a big deal, but she looked drowsy every day, and the emperor stomped his feet secretly.
He originally wanted to dismiss Su Huai'an, but after thinking about it, he dealt with many people along with the former Ministry of Works, and looking at the entire Ministry of Works, except for Su Huai'an, there was really no one available for the time being.
Therefore, the emperor's temper became more irritable than before because of the frequent bad reports from the disaster area in front of him.
"Why are all Aiqing silent? Recently, there has been a flood along the river, and everyone is sharp and sharp on weekdays, so why is there no one who can come up with ideas at this time? ”
All the ministers stood in silence, but none of them stepped forward to offer advice.
He swept his eyes down, and he was about to get angry, but he happened to lower Su Huai'an, who was standing in an inconspicuous position, and yawned slightly.
The emperor saw it at a glance.
He remained silent, facing Su Huai'an's direction, seemingly inadvertently revealing his majesty, "Su Huai'an, I see you yawning again and again, I think I must have a clever plan, you stand up and tell me, how to deal with the floods along the river?" ”
After the emperor finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves slightly, and the entire palace suddenly followed a storm, which frightened the ministers and trembled.
When Su Huai'an heard this, his heart was greatly shocked, and he didn't care that his mind was about to collapse now, so he was so frightened that he stumbled forward from the team standing on the group of ministers, and knelt in front of the team on both sides tremblingly.
Her eyes swept to both sides, and she could see the ashamed expressions on the faces of the ministers when they saw her like this, which seemed to mean a secret sigh, how could there be such a person who was an official in the same dynasty as herself, it was really embarrassing!
Su Huai'an felt aggrieved in his heart, and secretly thought that he didn't want to be like this, how did he know that it was so difficult to do things for officials, and he tried his best to be mediocre.
Su Huai'an snorted, "Your Majesty, Minister...... Foolish ..... Still.... There is no way to crack it yet. ”
Su Huai'an didn't have anything in his head, he didn't have the confidence to say this, she said a few words and wanted to look up to see what the emperor's face was, but she didn't dare, so she could only kneel with her head down.
Before the emperor could finish speaking, with a snap, he threw a few folds in his hand in front of Su Huai'an, which made Su Huai'an's ears buzz for a moment.
Su Huai stabilized his body, and looked at the few yellow seal folds scattered in front of him, and his eyes hurt brightly.
She hurriedly narrowed her eyes, and when she got used to it, she heard the emperor angry, "Okay, Su Huai'an, open your eyes for me to see what the tricky folds of your Ministry of Industry have become?" How did you manage the Ministry of Works, and can I still trust you, huh? ”
The young emperor was originally a series of numbers, but when it came to the last word, there was a bit of coercion in the slowness, which was the so-called not angry and self-threatening.
Although Su Huai'an was honest and mediocre, she also knew that the emperor was angry at this time, but she was not completely unprepared, at this moment she raised her voice softly, "Qi Qi Sheng, Huang Zheng is a repeated offender, all dynasties and generations will repair the coastal embankment every ten years, this time the heavy rain, I think it is caused by the disrepair of the embankment." ”
The emperor was still angry, but seeing that she was not completely without countermeasures, his heart eased up, "I ordered you to come up with a countermeasure within three days." ”
The emperor's robe flew up, and he turned sharply, bringing a gust of cold wind.
shouted to the eunuch next to him, "retreat from the court".
Su Huai'an, who was still far away for a while, suddenly felt even colder, and after a pause, he had to kowtow and thank him, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”
With the eunuch's treacherous retreat and the ministers, "Weichen retreated." The sound of the hall permeated, and the emperor helped Fuxi, who was serving close to him, and walked out of the hall with a little grace.
At this moment, the ministers who were still like puppets and didn't dare to move suddenly seemed to be amnesty, and they all stretched out their numb legs, all thinking in their hearts, Su Huai'an is really looking for death this time, he doesn't yawn early or yawn, but when the emperor is angry, he does.
Still let the emperor catch it right, or is there a problem with the affairs of the head of the Ministry of Industry, isn't this a man who hit the muzzle of the gun and is looking for death?
Out of the main hall door, the hundred officials who had just been silent immediately discussed a lot, and the first and fourth officials were pulling a fifth-grade official who had been friends with Su Ri, "Hurry up, go quickly, this kind of right and wrong, let's leave quickly." ”
The fifth-grade official frowned, "How such a stupid person sat on the position of secretary of the Ministry of Industry is simply incredible." ”
The fourth-grade official looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he carefully explained, "You don't know, he, it's not relying on the Tang family, and now the emperor is useless, and when the disaster is over for a while, do you think he will still be used?" ”
The fifth-grade official shook his head again and again, "Tang family? What is that? ”
"It is said that he is a hermit in Tianmen Mountain, and all of them are extremely intelligent, but somehow, he disappeared overnight in Tianmen Mountain many years ago, and one suddenly popped out at this time, and he is not surnamed Tang."
"Shhh, royal affairs, brother can't talk nonsense." Wupin official reminded.
The fourth rank official was shocked and lost his words, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, "Thank you for reminding me." ”
After that, he went hand in hand with the five officials.
The treasure hall that had just dispersed was still a little chaotic, and after a moment, those who watched the play, ridiculed, and sighed all dissipated with the voices of the people after retreating, and poured out of the hall together, leaving Su Huai'an to kneel in place.
The little eunuch who stayed on the side of the hall waited for a while, but he didn't see this new Shangshu get up, and he hurriedly ran to Su Huai'an and called softly, "Master Su? Vegetarian-sama? ”
"Huh?" Su Huai'an was taken aback.
"We're retreating." The little eunuch bowed down and said.
Su Huai'an woke up at this time, she glanced around the hall, and then whispered, "This father-in-law." ”
"You say." The little eunuch bowed his back even more, so that he could hear Su Huai'an speak clearly.
"Can you please give me a hand?" She secretly tried a few times just now, and found that she couldn't stand up.
The little father-in-law is good, and he took advantage of the situation to help Su Huai'an.
Su Huai'an barely stood up at this time, and walked out of the main hall very unfavorably.
As soon as she came out, Su Huai'an felt that the cold wind was so strong that she slapped her face head-on and poured it into her collar, she quickly tightened her collar and felt that her head was a little clearer, and the feeling of disaster was even stronger.
As soon as Su Huai'an came out of the palace gate, the strong rain in the sky had just stopped, and the weather in the capital at the end of summer began to turn cold because of the rain for several days.
She was in a hurry, thinking about how to deal with the disaster in Yanhe Mansion, but she also knew that she was just an idle waiter before, and the original Shangshu suppressed her and never let her participate in the core issues.
