After the early dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Emperor left, some of the ministers who did not leave the palace were obviously divided into five parts, Zhou Qifei, Zhou Qijue and Zhou Qifeng each occupied three directions, and there were many ministers around them, and these three parts were surrounded by the most people around Zhou Qifei. The other part stared at the three princes who had just been crowned kings with hesitant faces, not knowing what they were thinking, obviously not knowing which prince to stand on. There are also some who are self-contained, do not participate in the conversation of these people, and leave in groups, these people are the neutral royalists, the proper people of the Eastern Zhou Emperor, for these neutral ministers, they are only loyal to the Eastern Zhou Emperor, no matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, although they may not be reused by the new emperor, but they can definitely save the lives of the whole family.

The several factions left in the main hall were all vigilantly looking at each other, which could be said to be distinct, and after a long time, they withdrew from the main hall under the leadership of their respective leaders, and each found a place to discuss countermeasures.

Among them, the most restless is naturally the third prince Zhou Qifei's faction. Just after the early dynasty, a group of people gathered in the Three Princes' Mansion.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" A confidant of Zhou Qifei, a minister, asked Zhou Qifei, who was sitting at the top, with a solemn and uneasy face.

Zhou Qifei's face was also solemn, if the Eastern Zhou Emperor had no intention of letting him succeed to the throne, he would also make him a prince, but if he had a plan to succeed him, he let the four princes and the six princes enter the court and also be crowned princes, forming a three-legged pattern today.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Qifei said with a little cruelty: "What can I do, now either they die or I die, order the people below to keep an eye on them in the main hall, and report immediately if there is any change." ”

At this time, Zhou Qifei, who was not the slightest defense, didn't know what to do, so he could only take one step at a time. Anyway, the battle for the throne has always been either you die or I die, and if you dare to participate in this battle, these people are naturally ready to lose their lives at any time.

"Yes, Your Highness." Everyone looked at each other, then stood up and leaned down. After this incident came out, everyone found that more and more people visited the mansion of the four princes and the six princes, and it reached the point where they could almost match the three princes in a very short period of time.

And when these news reached the palace side by side, Mo Wuxian and Gu Ange only smiled faintly, ignoring them, and let the three of them make a lot of trouble outside the city, they still stayed in the palace and drank tea and played chess every day, so comfortable.

Fortunately, even if the three of them fought openly and secretly, they still maintained their apparent brotherhood, friends and brothers, and they could be regarded as testing each other and did not make any big trouble, knowing that something happened completely made these three people tear their faces.

On April 19, the 31st year of Emperor Qian, there was a great drought in the northwest, the people were not able to make a living, because the affected area was too large, countless people in the northwest fled to nearby towns, the people's hearts were unstable, bandits were rampant, and the local officials could not hide it.

When the situation of the disaster in the northwest was handed to the desk of the Eastern Zhou Emperor, the Eastern Zhou Emperor dropped several books in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces, and demoted several officials in charge, so he suppressed his anger and asked the three rookies in the court to go to the northwest for disaster relief with the silver taels and materials for disaster relief, and at the same time ordered Wang Mo Wuxian to go with him as the minister of supervision.

The original intention of the Eastern Zhou Emperor's arrangement was to better provide disaster relief, after all, these three were political enemies of each other, and the three of them could supervise each other to prevent them from doing anything, and the fact that Mo Wuxian was supervising them could prevent them from forgetting their business because they were also political enemies. Although the three of them were a little dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Eastern Zhou Emperor, they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only go down with dissatisfaction and start preparing for this matter.

When the eunuch who delivered the decree came to the palace side by side, Mo Wuxian was nesting under the big tree in Fanyin Pavilion, pillowing Gu Ange's legs, covering his face with a book, and sleeping very sweetly.

Gu Ange was holding a cup of tea and looking at the book in his hand intently. Even the eunuch who came with the decree from the fire didn't know.

"Uhhh Lihuo looked at the two leisurely under the tree and thought about the son of Yan who was still fighting hard with a large number of folds in the study, and bowed a handful of bitter tears for the poor son of Yan for no reason, and when he met such a lazy master, the son of Yan could only squat in the corner and cry by himself.

"Prince, son." After mourning for Chu Yanzhi for a while, he opened his mouth to pray.

"Huh?" Hearing the voice, Mo Wuxian didn't move, and still looked like he was sleeping soundly, but Gu Ange put down the book in his hand and looked at Lihuo.

Lihuo didn't care, pointed to the eunuch beside him with low eyebrows and replied calmly: "This is the father-in-law from the palace who came to deliver the decree." ”

I don't know if it's because this group of guys in the palace is too scary, the eunuchs who came to the palace to deliver the decree never dared to take Qiao, and if the king of the side by side gave a reward, he would accept it, and he didn't dare to ask for it secretly if he didn't give a reward.

Now that he is being treated like this, he is just waiting obediently aside, not daring to say a word.

Gu Ange glanced at the eunuch who was standing beside Lihuo, smiled politely, and then reached out and pushed Mo Wuxian, who was sleeping beside him, and called, "A-Yuan, wake up, wake up." ”

"Huh?" Soon Mo Wuxian was pushed awake by Gu Ange, took down the book covering his face, his voice revealed a bit of laziness that he hadn't woken up yet, and rubbed Gu Ange's waist, which looked very much like some kind of large canine, looking inexplicably a little well-behaved.

Gu Ange rubbed Mo Wuxian's head with his hand, glanced at the eunuch who passed the decree, and saw that he lowered his head and didn't look at them, so he whispered helplessly: "Good, the father-in-law who delivered the decree in the palace is here, get up first to take the decree." ”

Mo Wuxian frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with this guy who came to disturb his peace, turned his head to look at the eunuch, sat up slightly straight, and then snorted coldly, "Just say something." ”

Gaozu once had a decree, and the kings and princesses of the past dynasties did not have to kneel when they saw the emperor, so the eunuch didn't dare to say anything, and neatly opened the bright yellow holy decree in his hand and began to read it.

After finishing the recitation, he respectfully walked to Mo Wuxian's side and handed over the holy decree.

Mo Wuxian didn't answer, he closed his eyes and recuperated himself, which made the eunuch worry in his heart if he had done something wrong to make His Royal Highness the King side by side unhappy.

Just when the eunuch was anxious there, a slender white hand took the decree in his hand, and he looked up at it and saw a face full of smiles.

"A-Yuan." Gu Ange's voice carried a bit of warning.

Hearing Gu Ange's voice, Mo Wuxian replied: "Okay, go back and tell Your Majesty, this king has taken it." ”

"Yes." The eunuch was relieved when he heard Mo Wuxian's answer, "In this case, the slave will return to the palace first, and the slave will retire." ”

Mo Wuxian just bowed his head slightly, and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Gu Ange could only helplessly order to leave the fire and send people out.

Listening to Gu Ange's gentle voice and smiling face, the eunuchs were almost moved to cry, fortunately, this prince is still a good talker, next time he won't say anything to come to the palace to deliver the decree, it's just too scary. These people waiting in the palace are very sensitive, and they are naturally cautious about the evil god like Mo Wuxian, for fear that one of them will accidentally put their lives into it.

So the eunuch, who had finally successfully completed this arduous task, did not wait to leave the fire and led the way, and fled as if something terrible was chasing him from behind.

After the two left, Gu Ange asked curiously while playing with the holy decree in his hand, "Why did His Majesty send you for such a thing, didn't he have some intention to deliberately transfer you out of the capital." ”

If you want to send a supervisor, why don't you just choose your own henchman? I have to say that this time it was really Gu Ange who thought too much, and the Eastern Zhou Emperor's original intention was really to let Mo Wuxian supervise it, after all, there was really no one in his henchmen who could suppress those three, or that there was no one in the entire court who could suppress them except Mo Wuxian, so even if the Eastern Zhou Emperor was unwilling, he could only let Mo Wuxian go.

Mo Wuxian didn't care about this, and shook his head indifferently, "Don't worry about so much, he just let this king go, and this king goes." There is Chu Yanzhi in the capital here, even if there is anything, there will be no accident for the time being, not to mention, even if there is really anything, does he plan to bring his three sons to the funeral. ”

If something happened to the capital, or if the Eastern Zhou Emperor planned to take advantage of this opportunity to make a move against Mo Wuxian, he would also have to weigh whether his three sons could go back alive. There are only a few princes in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, can he still play all at once.

After thinking about it, it seemed to be the same reason, and Gu Ange also put his mind at ease.

"The drought is not a joke, and I don't know if His Majesty's side can solve it." Frowning, Gu Ange said with some concern.

Before the eunuch came, they didn't even know the slightest rumor, and the drought in the spring delayed the spring ploughing, which was a living cut off the livelihood of those people, even if these people had food in their homes, how long could they last?

"First send someone to check the situation to see what the situation has come to, and then let the people below find a way to raise some food to transport over." Speaking of this, Mo Wuxian's head hurt a little, and he had to shoulder part of the grain and grass of the soldiers and horses under his command side by side of the palace, and now there is this kind of thing, even if it is a big business, it is a little unbearable. If these three princes can solve this matter well, it would be fine, if they were perfunctory, Mo Wuxian would not be able to watch those people starve to death.

"Okay, I'll let the people below figure it out too." Seeing Mo Wuxian's headache, Gu Ange reached out to help him rub his temples, and said, although she didn't know how much she could help, but she could help a little. As a healer, she can't abandon it.

"Hmm." Mo Wuxian nodded, but his furrowed brow never relaxed.

The people who stood side by side with the palace and Nalan Villa were very fast, but in just two days, the disaster situation in the northwest was delivered to the two of them. Looking at the shocking numbers written on it, Mo Wuxian's face was so gloomy that even Chu Yanzhi didn't dare to come to him. It says that there has been almost no rain in the northwest since the second half of last year, and at that time the people in the northwest are barely surviving on the little grain harvested that is twice as small as in previous years, and when the spring ploughing period in mid-March is not raining, all the grain planted is dried up, and the surplus grain left by each family has almost eaten at this time. Many families even began to buy grain to get by, and many merchants, seeing that it was profitable, even began to hoard a large amount of grain, taking the opportunity to raise the price of grain, and the government's inaction even sprinkled a handful of salt on the wounds of these poor people, so that many people were forced to stay away from their homes and flee everywhere. There are also some desperate people who simply go to the nearby grass to become a coward, and gather together to rob those big rice and grain households, and the northwest is like a mess, and it is completely impossible to see that they are living in this world where there is no war, and there is a desolate and miserable atmosphere everywhere. And now, the officials in the northwest saw that the disaster could not be hidden, so they made a break to the imperial court, and some local officials who still had some conscience also opened the granary and opened the warehouse to release grain, but it is a pity that there are too many people affected by the disaster, and these very few official actions are just a drop in the bucket, and they will soon be unable to support it.

In this regard, the Eastern Zhou Emperor asked people to find ways to alleviate the drought every day, and at the same time was busy making up some silver money, grain and grass, and asked those officials to open warehouses to release grain, and even forgot to deal with those officials who concealed and did not report, and were busy in the imperial study until late at night every day.

Fortunately, there have been no wars in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in recent years, and the treasury is quite abundant, otherwise I am afraid that the Eastern Zhou Emperor would not know what to do even if his hair is all white.

After three days of emergency fundraising, a part of the grain and grass and silver taels were also raised, so the Eastern Zhou Emperor asked Zhou Qifei and the other three and Mo Wuxian to rush to the northwest with these grains and grass first to appease the people, after all, they all knew that it was easy to cause a civil uprising in this situation, and when it was time, it would be out of control.

This time he went to the northwest, although it was in the name of a superintendent, but he did not set off with the three princes, but reported that the Eastern Zhou Emperor had already set off with Gu Ange the day before.

Because the matter was urgent, the two of them also traveled lightly, and after explaining some necessary things to Chu Yanzhi, they hurried away with Lihuo and Kuntu.

After seven or eight days of traveling, the group finally found an inn where they could settle down before dark.

Looking at the somewhat humble inn, several people were relieved, no matter how simple it was, it was better than living in the wilderness, these days they were all sleeping in the wilderness, even if Gu Ange didn't say anything, and was more comfortable than anyone else, Mo Wuxian still felt a little wronged by her.
