Ruoyan didn't sleep very peacefully, and Luo Hansheng was still in his dreams. She panicked in her heart, and her heart hurt as if she was going to die. Crying wet pillow in his sleep, Li Yizhe listened to Ruoyan's cry and took Ruoyan into his arms, wanting to coax Ruoyan, but his body froze in the next second. He heard Ruoyan's mouth calling Luo Hansheng's name.

He sat up, got out of bed softly, got dressed and walked out in a rage.

Ling Yin and Xue Ying were so frightened at the entrance of the hall that their faces turned pale.

Li Yizhe went straight back to the imperial study after leaving the Jiaofang Palace, and it happened that Zhongshu asked Zhong Liqing to see him.

Zhongshu Ling Zhong Liqing is nearly sixty years old and is the grandfather of Zhong Liqing. He has been an honest official for decades, and his official reputation is excellent. It's just that Zhong Liqing is old, and the things in the court can be ignored, so there is something important to come to see today.

Zhong Liqing knelt on the ground, his white beard and hair looked very old, and his spirit looked good. Li Yizhe saw that he was too old to let him kneel all the time, so he asked Gonggong Lin to give him a seat.

Zhong Liqing sat on the rosewood chair and opened his mouth to tell Li Yizhe about the matter: "Your Majesty, yesterday the Weishui flood on the outskirts of Chang'an City washed away the dam and waterlogged most of the crops. Victims have not yet poured into the city, but this relief should be arranged as soon as possible. When the minister heard about this, he was furious, and the officials below wanted to hide it and not report it. ”

Li Yizhe was already angry, and the table was slammed: "Who is so bold!" ”

"Cao Yun makes Feng Ji." Zhongli Qing replied.

"Feng Ji? If I remember correctly, he was Feng Meiren's uncle. I've heard that it's a little bit of an idea. It's so out of proportion. Li Yizhe was very angry.

"According to the old minister, fortunately, Lord Feng's matter fortunately did not cause a big disaster, and he can be punished lightly and punished with a big warning." Zhong Liqing was kind-hearted, and when he saw that Li Yizhe started a fire, he knew that Feng Ji was afraid that he would be severely punished this time, so he inevitably begged for a few sentences for him.

"Lightly haired?" Li Yizhe snorted coldly, "Don't you want the world to think that I am indulging in these moths who hide their feelings and don't report them?!" Lin Shengnian, pass it to the book of the Criminal Department in the matter! I will not take it lightly! ”

"Your Majesty, I gave Lord Liu a leave of absence yesterday, saying that he was suffering from a sudden illness. The old slave asked the Song court this morning and said that it was not good for people to be afraid. Lin Gonggong cautiously explained.

"Then there is no need to discuss the matter again." Li Yizhe was extremely angry, "Execute it." Noon Gate beheaded. He was executed three days later. ”

It is not unreasonable for Li Yizhe to be angry, the suburbs of Chang'an are close to the Imperial City of the Son of Heaven, and if the homeless people riot, it is really a dangerous trouble. Feng Ji has been in charge of Caoyun for many years, and most of his performance appraisals are just good, he has no achievements, and he just wants not to make mistakes. Such an official is of little value, and there are countless talents who can replace him. It's just because Feng Ji's brother Feng Yue is a servant of the ministry and takes care of him a lot, so he has not been dismissed.

Zhong Liqing frowned: "Your Majesty, isn't it too harsh to deal with it like this?" Why don't you let Lord Feng make meritorious contributions? What matters now is how we provide relief. ”

Zhong Liqing also wanted to intercede for Feng Ji again.

Li Yizhe calmed down and thought for a moment, then pinched his eyebrows: "Since Lord Zhongli asked for this, then let him be spared." confiscated family property and demoted to commoners. Gonggong Lin, you go to the will of me. ”

"Your Majesty." Zhong Liqing bowed and said, "The old minister should not have said something, but he was kind to the old minister back then, and the old minister can't look at His Majesty's thin heirs. Please also ask Your Majesty to be wet with rain and dew, have children earlier, and extend the heirs. ”

"I know in my heart, and I have a book in the work to bother adults. Father-in-law Lin, you go and send off Lord Zhongli. ”

After Gonggong Lin sent Zhong Liqing out, Li Yizhe just finished drinking a cup of tea. He put down the teacup and sighed: "What's the matter with the illness in the matter?" You arrange to go down with something. I remember that a few days ago, Fanbang paid tribute to a century-old Ganoderma lucidum. Go and have someone send it to him. Mention the Song court's judgment, and ask him to bother with it. ”

"Yes. Your Majesty, the old slave of Lord Lin Shujing Lin recommended by the Minister of State before saw that it was a good one, and the grain, grass and military salaries were properly arranged, and the front line came to report in the morning, saying that the materials were already in place. This Lord Lin was different from the previous practice, which was to transfer grain from the boundaries around the front line, and the grain and grass on the road were mobilized by the cities near the route. It's more efficient, it's more proper, and it's a good news. Gonggong Lin looked at Li Yizhe's face was not good, and he was busy reporting the good news.

Li Yizhe snorted coldly: "Grain and grass are the lifeblood of the front line, so he naturally bothered to work hard, after all, if something happens, Luo Hansheng will be upset." I've heard of that man for a long time, and he said that he was a grateful person. In his early years, his family suffered an accident and lived on the streets, and the family couldn't drink a mouthful of hot soup, so it was Luo Hansheng who gave his family a bite to eat and funded him to enter the imperial examination. He is naturally loyal to Luo Hansheng. It's a talent, yes, but it's a pity that it's not easy to win over. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to mind, this Lord Lin is good to Xiangye, and it is our Zhou Tang who is fighting for face on the front line. Do you say? Relax, too. Over the years, Xiangye has been loyal to Zhou Tang, dedicated to the country and the people. I can't make a mistake at this juncture. Lin Gonggong persuaded.

Li Yizhe was very annoyed, and pulled over the table and began to review it. In the past few days, I have been running to Jiaofang Palace every day, but I haven't seen it, but I have accumulated most of it.

If Yan woke up again, it was already evening. Seeing that she was awake, Ling Yin hurriedly brought a cup of warm water and fed it to her. Xueying took the warm bird's nest porridge from the kitchen. Bird's nest is the finest blood bird's nest, with rock sugar added to it, which is very delicious.

Xueying finished feeding Ruoyan a whole bowl of bird's nest porridge and brought some appetizers.

Ling Yin looked at Ruoyan and couldn't help but sigh: "Why do you have to practice your body, now that she has lost so much weight, she is afraid that she will starve her body, so the slave maid will order the people below to make up for her mother these days." Sun Yuan said that Niangniang has just started to eat now, and it is not appropriate to use too much, mainly light. The kitchenette will bring the food later. ”

"You're bothered." Ruoyan smiled at Ling Yin.

"Where did the mother say? Xiang Ye gave the slave to the mother because he trusted the slave and the maid, if something happened to the mother, how could the slave and the maid explain to the mother? Don't think about it so much, what Xiangye hopes is that the mother is good. Ling Yin picked up a handkerchief for Ruoyan to wipe the residual porridge from the corner of her mouth, but the distress in her eyes couldn't be erased.

"It's me who I'm sorry Brother Sheng." Ruoyan leaned on the soft pillow and hung her head.

"Why do you think so? Now that Niangniang is in the palace, what do you think of the world if she doesn't have a round room with His Majesty? Originally, at the palace banquet, the prime minister and His Majesty robbed people, and it was already very eye-catching. If Niangniang continues like this, what will His Majesty do if he settles all the accounts on Xiangye's head? Niangniang obeys His Majesty, it is herself who suffers so much, and it is Xiangye who is implicated. Niangniang and His Majesty rounded up the house, which helped Xiangye. Ling Yin persuaded her.

"Ling Yin, but I don't love Your Majesty."

"How many couples in this world are in love? Some of the ladies in large families are the top wives, and the importance of marrying a daughter-in-law is family background. There was no affection for him, so he carried his aunt and accepted the room. But life doesn't go on for a lifetime. Instead of being so miserable, why not open a little? The slave maid sees that Niangniang is blessed, no matter what, His Majesty is distressed and loves Niangniang. Niangniang can't embarrass herself like this. ”

"I understand the reason, Your Majesty treats me well, but sometimes things are forced to be." Ruoyan looked at the peony embroidered on the curtain, decorated with gold thread, beautiful and luxurious, but what was the use of not what she liked.

"Ling Yin, do you know? My sister used to live in this palace. ”

Ling Yin was stunned.

"Later, then my sister died. Jumping from such a high wall, the blood-stained white snow turned red, like plum blossoms blooming in the snow. The red dazzle. I hate this, I hate the whole Imperial City. When I was a child, my mother told me that the women in Chang'an City asked for a lifetime of Chang'an, but when they entered this palace wall, their lives became precarious. The expression on Ruoyan's face was obscure, and the dappled sunset was reflected like an old picture.

"Niangniang......" Ling Yin didn't know how to persuade again.

Xue Ying took the meal and put it on the table next to the bed, took a small plate with a smile, and brought a few dishes to Ruoyan: "Don't think so much, Niangniang, eat more, and get better as soon as possible, let's go to the imperial tomb to worship the first queen, okay?" ”

Ruoyan was stunned, yes, she is dead, and she hasn't gone to see Sister A. After all these years, Sister Ah has no relatives, and I am afraid that no one even goes to worship.

She should go see Sister.

After Li Yizhe finished approving the excerpt, it was already the third watch, thinking that Ruoyan had already fallen asleep, so he only sent Lin Gonggong to ask Ruoyan if he had eaten at night, what he used and how much?

After asking, he ordered someone to find a few better cooks to go to Ruoyan's small kitchen to prepare food for Ruoyan.

When she was about to go back to the dormitory to rest, Meng Jieyu carried a food box into the imperial study and asked to see her, Meng Jieyu smiled and saluted: "The concubine sees Your Majesty." ”

Li Yizhe frowned: "Why haven't you stopped so late?" ”

"The concubine was worried about the body of the concubine and couldn't sleep, and I heard that His Majesty had not rested yet, so she stewed berries with milk and sent them to Your Majesty, thinking that Your Majesty could sleep better with them."

"You're bothered."

"As long as Your Majesty is good, the concubine will be content. The concubine Niangniang is now new to the palace, and there are always many things that she is not suitable for. In addition, Jiaofang Palace is the place where the deceased sister of the mother lived, and it is inevitable that the mother will feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable. A few days ago, Xueying also sent someone to ask the concubine, the mother wanted to go to the imperial tomb, because it was the first time to go, so she asked the concubine if she would go with her. Your Majesty should also think more about Niangniang, now that Niangniang is finally willing to eat, Your Majesty should accompany Niangniang more. Meng Jieyu persuaded with a gentle smile.

I have to say that Meng Jieyu is indeed able to speak well with one mouth, and in a few words, she attributed the matter of Ruoyan's hunger strike to missing her deceased sister, without mentioning Luo Hansheng.

Most of the anger in Li Yizhe's heart was suddenly extinguished.
