Chapter 804: Loyalty Against Ear
804
Fengyi Palace.
The emperor signaled to the eunuch not to report his arrival.
The queen was listening to the eunuch in charge, and when she saw the emperor coming, she hurriedly got up to say hello.
"I heard from Hulu that you have been getting better in the past few days, and you have to ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look at it, don't take it lightly." The emperor said and sat down with the queen's hand.
"The emperor doesn't have to worry about me, it's just a little problem. However, in the previous dynasty, there were thousands of things every day, and you had to advocate for them, which was really hard. The queen said gently.
"Have you heard about Liangzhou?" The emperor's expression was slightly down, and there were disasters in the spring and autumn of Liangzhou, and there was a serious failure, which was really not good news.
"I'm worried about this, too, but I have to support it as much as I can anyway." The queen said: "Originally, Yining and the two of us sympathized and said that as long as this year can be like last year, Liangzhou will basically be self-sufficient." But there have always been unforeseen circumstances, and nature has endured it, so we can only find a way to get through the difficulties first. ”
"Let's call a few neighboring states and counties to support first, it will take some time to requisition food from other places." The emperor said.
"Your Majesty, you also know about the shortage of grain in the two Taicangs near the capital, right? How are you going to handle this? The queen poured a cup of tea and handed it to the emperor to ask.
"I knew about this matter at the beginning of the year, and I have already reprimanded Chen Zheng and others." The Emperor said, "Let them never act like this in the future." ”
"Your Majesty's handling is too light," the queen said: "The lack of grain reserves is a major incident, how can you take it lightly?" I heard that there is also a matter of the Jing family brothers, Chen Zheng and others took the initiative to change the rice beans handed over to the local treasury into money and grain, and the Jing brothers actually thought that this would save time and effort, and encouraged other states and counties to follow suit. If Your Majesty does not prohibit it and punish them severely, they will cause even greater disasters in the future. ”
"Jingyu and Jingjin are also kind-hearted, transporting food is really laborious, not to mention that they didn't expect that there would be a disaster in Liangzhou this year!" The emperor couldn't help but excuse his hair.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, you must not abolish the public for personal gain!" The queen spoke bitterly.
"Don't worry, queen, the matter is not so serious, and it is not irreparable." The emperor tried to appease the queen: "Let Liangzhou think of a way by himself, Zhong Ye and Yining are not straw bales, not to mention that I have already asked Zhong Ye to take full authority to deal with the affairs of Liangzhou." ”
The queen couldn't help but get angry when she heard this, and the emperor still didn't get rid of her childlike heart sometimes: "If the two of them have a way, will they still write to the court for help?" It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and seeing that it is about to snow over there, how can she survive the winter without food? ”
"And what do you want me to do?! The people have already been levied on the silver taels, will they go back and collect the grain again?! The emperor's voice unconsciously raised: "I know, because of Chu Chu's affairs, you have always had a grudge against the two brothers of the Jing family. Maybe it's just that I'm drunk and immoral, won't you be done with more care? ”
"Your Majesty, what did you say? What have I ever done to talented people? The queen asked angrily.
"How can you do anything to her little talent? You are the most virtuous queen," the emperor sneered: "Since you entered the palace, you have been following the example of those virtuous queens in the world all day long, for fear that I am a dou who can't be helped." Now who inside and outside the court does not praise you! But to me, you're no longer as cute as you used to be. ”
When the queen heard this, she was unspeakably sad. didn't argue with the emperor anymore, just wept silently.
Her original intention was to share the emperor's worries, after all, the Great Zhou Dynasty was worried about domestic and foreign troubles. The slightest carelessness can lead to the destruction of human beings.
She constantly asks herself not to be as willful as before, and the word queen is not only an honor, but also a responsibility.
"Okay, don't cry, it's my words that are serious." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand to wipe the queen's tears: "Do you know that you are too virtuous, it always makes me feel that you don't care about me at all." When you married me, it was just because I was asked to save people, and I never asked how sincere you were to me. Now that you are even more open-mouthed and closed-mouthed, it is a state affair, and I am already very tired in the previous dynasty. When I came to the harem, I just wanted to distract myself and relieve my boredom, and I didn't want to mention those things again. ”
"Don't Your Majesty, I am the mother of a nation. Only when the people are safe, can I be safe. Otherwise, why would I not care about the common people, but only for my own pleasure? The queen sighed and said: "Of course, Your Majesty is hard, and the concubines are also distressed, but what should be said is still to be said." Otherwise, the people in the harem only want to please you and welcome you, so that you are drunk in the gentle countryside and do not know diligence, then you will not become a sinner. ”
Of course, the emperor knows that what the queen said is reasonable, but the words of loyalty are always contrary to the ear.
He didn't want to argue, stood up and said, "The queen is just getting better, let's rest for a few more days." I've left beforehand. ”
The emperor went to the talented people when he came out of Fengyi Palace, because the other concubines were also personally selected by the queen, and they all demanded themselves with the standards of virtuous and virtuous people.
Only talented people honestly listen to the emperor's words, and they will not move out of the big truth at every turn.
"It's better for women to be stupid sometimes," the emperor meditated in his heart as he walked: "If you are too smart and clever, if you are too strong, you will not be cute." ”
The gourd has been following behind the emperor, a pair of dead fish eyes are cold, and his face is expressionless.
Since entering the palace, he has always been respectful and respectful by the emperor's side.
But now that Grandpa Zhong is in a hurry, the Jing brothers of the former dynasty united a group of people to stumble Zhong Ye openly and secretly.
Now it is just a little sign of it, but Hulu knows in his heart that they are afraid that Zhong Ye's credit will be too great and they will be overwhelmed.
The talented person who was not favored at first is now a celebrity around the emperor.
And he is already three months pregnant, but his waist is still as slender as when he first entered the palace, and he has not yet shown his pregnancy.
Hulu knows that with a background like her, even if she gives birth to a prince, it is impossible to succeed to the throne, but it is enough for her to stabilize her position in the palace.
With her as the Jing family's brother's internal response, it will inevitably be more troublesome to deal with.
"The concubine asks the emperor for peace." Highly talented people salute, I have to say that her figure is really beautiful.
"Excuse me, you are heavy now," the emperor said very casually: "I will eat lunch at your place, and it is still early before dinner, you can play a song for me!" ”
Gao Cai people will never refuse any request from the emperor, and immediately ordered the palace maid to carry Gong Hou over.
Ten fingers plucked the strings, and the music poured out like jewels.
The emperor sighed lightly, closed his eyes, and slowly relaxed his body and mind.
By the time the talented man played the song, the emperor had already fallen asleep, snoring softly.
The talented man ordered everyone to go down, and she sat quietly on the side.
