Chapter 217: It's Too Hard

Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Empress Tao hurried to Xingqing Palace.

Facing the expectant eyes of the ministers, she snorted coldly, brushed her sleeves away, and entered the dormitory directly.

This group of courtiers is more ruthless than anyone else on weekdays.

This will be questioned, and she will begin to think of her as a queen.

There is no such good thing in the world.

This year's drought and the reason why the disaster is so serious are all caused by the family behind this group of courtiers.

However, if the tenants' rents were lower, and the interest on the money farms was less, the villagers who suffered from the disaster would not be so miserable.

Everyone understands the truth, but no one gives even a little kindness.

When you open your mouth, you must call the people, and when you close your mouth, you must talk about the people's livelihood, but none of the things you do really think about the people's livelihood.

A group of ruthless people who eat people and don't spit out bones, hehe......

Emperor Yongtai had woken up, unwilling to get up, and lay on the bed to shut himself up.

Sun Bangnian didn't dare to persuade him, he couldn't persuade him.

Seeing Empress Tao arrive, he was obviously relieved.

Anyway, he doesn't have to bear the pressure alone.

Empress Tao sat down at the head of the bed and gently held the emperor's hand.

The Emperor did not move.

She said softly: "The courtiers are all waiting outside, if Your Majesty doesn't want to see them, the concubines will go and send them personally." ”

Emperor Yongtai finally moved, he turned his head sideways and stared at Empress Tao, "Are you looking at my jokes?" ”

Empress Tao looked sad, "At this time, does Your Majesty still doubt my intentions?" ”

Emperor Yongtai suddenly sat up and grabbed Empress Tao's neck.

Empress Tao was stunned and looked terrified.

Sun Bangnian opened his mouth even wider, but he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of alarming the courtiers outside, and even more afraid of alarming the emperor to become cannon fodder.

Emperor Yongtai roared sharply, "Don't want to see my jokes." I don't want to snatch my country. Whoever dares to do something bad, I will kill him. ”

Empress Tao grabbed his hand, "Your Majesty, you let go of me." I was out of breath. ”

Emperor Yongtai snorted coldly, and finally let go of Empress Tao.

Queen Tao lay on the head of the bed, coughing and hissing, and felt like she wanted to die.

She clutched her neck, very uncomfortable.

Every breath is irritating the throat, and it hurts and hurts.

She didn't have to look at it, she knew that her neck must have been blue and purple.

She raised her head and looked at Emperor Yongtai, her gaze calmer than ever.

"Is Your Majesty pleased? Do you want me to give you my life? ”

Emperor Yongtai was furious, "You dare to complain? ”

"Why can't I complain?"

Empress Tao asked him directly.

Emperor Yongtai was stunned by the queen's rhetorical question.

He looked at Queen Tao in front of him with confusion, and couldn't understand why she had such a bad attitude, wasn't she afraid that he would punish her?

Queen Tao straightened her collar and tried her best to cover the bruises on her neck.

It was very hot, and there was an ice basin in the dormitory, which was still difficult to keep out the heat.

Sun Bang was sweating profusely, and he stood in the corner with his bent body, trying to reduce his sense of presence.

I just hate that there is no stealth.

Empress Tao said in a calm tone: "There is a great drought in the world, the people's livelihood is withering, and the autumn harvest has begun in the south, but the harvest is less than three percent of previous years. Not to mention paying taxes, even eating is a problem. The granaries of the government were empty, and the imperial court had no extra food to take out. San Lang went out of Beijing for disaster relief, and he also relied on Princess Chengyang's food support.

At this time, His Majesty did not think about how to provide disaster relief, alleviate the disaster, and settle the victims, but he was in the palace, cutting people with a sword, and even strangled me. Since quelling the rebellion of the princes and kings, His Majesty is really in high spirits, and has forgotten the time when he first succeeded to the throne, walking on thin ice and trembling. Now, with a little blow, will Your Majesty not be able to withstand it? ”

"You are presumptuous!" Emperor Yongtai rebuked.

Empress Tao sneered, "I am indeed presumptuous! It's just that His Majesty has already done something to me, and there are some things I have to say before I die, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have time. His Majesty was concerned about the people's livelihood and the society of the Great Wei Dynasty, and deeply hated the local officials for not thinking about disaster relief, but instead colluding with the local heroes and forcing the good to become slaves.

A group of black sheep, and there is ready-made evidence, as the so-called extraordinary time to do extraordinary things, why don't Your Majesty pick up the butcher's knife, learn from Emperor Zhongzong, and kill all the corrupt officials in the world. If you kill him and bleed like a river, you don't believe that there are still people who dare to commit crimes against the wind and force Liang to be slaves. Or is it that Your Majesty is afraid and does not dare to let the officialdom stain blood? ”

"You...... Who told you to say this to my face? Who is it? ”

There was no one to instruct them, and these words were all from the bottom of the court's heart. Although the concubine is a woman, she also knows that the country's society is the most important, and human life is nothing. It's just that Your Majesty has this determination? ”

Bang!

Emperor Yongtai smashed the porcelain pillow and kicked over the stool.

Empress Tao looked at it coldly and was unmoved.

Emperor Yongtai grabbed her by the collar and pulled her to him, "What do you want to do?" What do you want to do with the temptation to kill and use a knife against the officialdom? ”

Empress Tao smiled coldly, "The concubine dares to ask, does Your Majesty want the country or the officialdom?" To protect the officialdom and lose the support of the people, to protect the hearts of the people, it is necessary to kill all the corrupt officials in the world. There is no third way. Unless, Your Majesty can conjure food out of thin air. ”

Emperor Yongtai breathed rapidly, and the hot breath he exhaled sprayed directly on Empress Tao's cheeks.

Empress Tao felt the heat and felt that her body was already wet with sweat.

But she didn't dare to slack off, nor did she dare to call herself tired.

She had to hold on, not showing the slightest weakness.

Emperor Yongtai sneered, "Who gave you the idea?" Who wants to provoke officialdom and for what purpose? Is it the Tao family, or Princess Chengyang? ”

Empress Tao shook her head, "It has nothing to do with them, the words I said just now are the words of the concubine's heart." ”

"You can't fool me. Are you sure that I won't kill you, that's why you dare to speak out in front of me? You are presumptuous! If you dare to interfere in the government and try to influence my decision, you will die! ”

"Then does Your Majesty want to execute your concubines?"

Call! Call! Call!

Emperor Yongtai's breathing was very rough, and it clearly entered the ears of Empress Tao.

Empress Tao looked at him indifferently, her gaze straight and calm.

Emperor Yongtai smiled coldly, "Don't worry, I won't execute you." Whether it's your personal thoughts, or someone who gives you an idea, I will now officially answer you, don't want to get involved in the government. Whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, I have my own measure. ”

Queen Tao smiled, amazingly beautiful.

She said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, concubine! Now that Your Majesty has made a decision, the concubine will retire! ”

She bowed slightly, her head bowed, waiting for the emperor to let go of her collar.

While letting go of her collar, Emperor Yongtai pushed violently, and Empress Tao leaned back, almost falling to the ground.

finally stabilized his figure, and heard the emperor scold, "Get out!" I don't even want to see you lately. ”

Empress Tao was expressionless, got up, saluted, didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Sun Bangnian was in a hurry, the queen mother was gone, what should he do.

However, in this situation, he didn't dare to stop Queen Tao, so he could only watch Queen Tao leave.

……

Queen Tao returned to Weiyang Palace, and she was extremely unhappy.

Directly smashed half of the room.

She couldn't stay calm, she was angrier than ever.

When she was in Xingqing Palace, she suppressed the anger in her heart with willpower beyond ordinary people.

At this moment, when she returned to Weiyang Palace, she no longer had to endure it.

smashed it hard, and the breath in her heart finally calmed down.

She waved her hand, and her own palace people cleaned up the mess on the ground.

She instructed Young Eunuch Mei, "Go and invite His Royal Highness the Second Prince, this palace has something to say to him." ”

Young Eunuch Mei bowed down to receive the order and sent someone to hurriedly invite the second prince, Xiao Chengwen.

……

When the chamberlain arrived at the prince's mansion, Xiao Chengwen was fishing.

Perhaps influenced by Yan Yunge, Xiao Chengwen has also fallen in love with fishing recently.

Fishing is good, it can exercise patience, and let the ups and downs quickly calm down.

The chamberlain arrived and invited him into the palace.

He was not in a hurry and said, "When His Highness is done, I will go to the palace." ”

The corners of the waiter's mouth twitched, can fishing be more important than the queen's summons?

The chamberlain reminded him: "Your Highness, the queen mother came out of Xingqing Palace and made a big fire. It is better for His Royal Highness to enter the palace early, and not to let the queen wait for a long time. ”

Xiao Chengwen raised his eyebrows, "The queen mother is angry, and she can't calm down for a while." His Royal Highness entered the palace in a hurry at this time, and the conversation could not be fruitful. It's better to let the queen mother calm down first, and I will enter the palace later. ”

The chamberlain panicked, "Your Highness, don't be joking. It doesn't matter if you enter the palace later, our family's head is about to move. ”

Xiao Chengwen smiled, "With your godfather to protect you, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Even if I have a godfather to protect me, my family is afraid! If you can't fulfill the queen's orders, you are incompetent. Impotence or death! ”

The waiter was verbose, and the noise made Xiao Chengwen's ears hurt.

Fish, can't be caught.

Xiao Chengwen looked at the fishing rod that was not moving, and was a little depressed.

That's it, that's it, let's go to the palace.

He told the chamberlain to wait, he wanted to go back to his room and change his clothes, and by the way, his face looked more pale and sickly.

Grandpa Fei waited by his side and whispered: "Since the eldest girl was born, His Royal Highness's health has been much better. Niangniang will be happy to know that His Royal Highness's health has improved. Why does Your Highness still cover up? ”

Xiao Chengwen smiled at the bronze mirror, "The queen mother may not be happy to see my health improve. Father is probably the same idea. ”

Grandpa Fei's hand paused obviously, and then sighed, "Your Highness is too difficult!" ”

Xiao Chengwen didn't care much, "It's been so many years whether it's difficult or not, you don't have to care." ”

Father-in-law Fei became more and more distressed.

Xiao Chengwen was concerned about other things, "Yan Yuntong is about to get married, is Mrs. Heli ready?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the congratulatory gifts have been prepared for a long time. For this congratulatory gift, the lady specially took the dowry money out. ”

When Xiao Chengwen heard this, he immediately said: "How much money did she take, let the account room make up for her in full." The congratulatory gift was sent in the name of the prince's mansion, how could she be allowed to take the dowry silver to subsidize it. Fuzhong is not so poor. ”

Fei Gonggong bowed down.

Xiao Chengwen then changed his tone and said: "This year's harvest is not good, and His Royal Highness may really have to suffer poverty." Over there at Nirvana Villa, can you send enough food to His Royal Highness this year? ”

Grandpa Fei hurriedly said: "The old slave will send someone to ask later." If you can't give enough food, you have to have a charter. ”

"Send someone who knows how to do things, ask questions, talk well, and don't offend people. Nowadays, whoever has food in his hands has confidence. ”

"The old slave understands!"

------Off topic------

I can't think of a suitable chapter name, and the three words "big disaster" represent the mood of the ingot.
