Huo Yanzhi, who was originally depressed and avoided the palace eunuchs to hang out, almost didn't die of laughter by this laughing tree.

After laughing, he turned his gaze to the faint female voice just now, but he was not sure now.

Huo Yanzhi had something in his heart, so he didn't speak again, he paced half a circle with his hands behind his back, and then went back the way he came.

Halfway through, he couldn't help but sigh that his father was really a talent, and he could actually let the internal officials and eunuchs secretly build a secret passage and a small door to lead directly here. I heard that when Yuan Guifei was not a concubine, she was a palace person on duty here, and I don't know what kind of drug she gave her father to do such a ridiculous thing.

As soon as he returned to the temple, he saw the familiar pile of folds from afar, and he had a headache again.

King Shin temporarily gained a foothold in Jiangnan, and began to organize disaster relief with the household officials who went with him.

This year's sudden, extraordinarily large spring flood has directly destroyed the fields of several provinces south of the Yangtze River, and many peasants have been soaked in the seedlings as soon as they have planted them, and the harvest in the first half of the year has also been soaked, and many towns along the river have been flooded, washing away many people, livestock, and property, and destroying countless houses.

In such a big disaster, just giving some porridge and rice naturally won't help, and the problem now is how to get these displaced people who went north back to their hometowns.

In the past few days, the governors and governors from Henan, Shandong and other places have flown in like snowflakes, and they have said aggrievedly about their own difficulties, probably the main idea is that their families have no surplus food to help these refugees, Your Majesty, hurry up and make a decision to get them away, otherwise we will starve to death with them!

Even Jingzhao Mansion was a little anxious, and was very worried that these displaced people outside the capital would cause a bad public security impact.

After all, most of the people in and out of the capital are high-ranking nobles or relatives of high-ranking nobles, and if those short-sighted homeless people really bump into any of them, they will not be able to handle it. Will the arrest of the displaced people cause public outrage? If you let it go gently, it doesn't make sense!

In short, officials in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have been actively asking for disaster relief funds, turning a blind eye to the problem of displaced people, and even wishing that they would not come back, after all, the disaster relief money is also too much for monks and less porridge; Other neighboring provinces have been shouting "Your Majesty will take the displaced people away", and there is no shortage of such voices in the DPRK and China.

Huo Yanzhi is naturally inclined to the latter, but he doesn't have any good ideas, and it is vague to ask the cabinet, even if he gets angry, it is useless.

Guo Shoufu's old fox would only persuade him to calm his anger on the ground, and said that the problem of displaced people was not an overnight success, and that in addition to organizing farmers in the Jiangnan area to replant and produce, it was still necessary to ensure that the security of the capital was not affected, and the refugees in other provinces could only be postponed.

If this was the case in the past, Huo Yanzhi didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, he couldn't let the governor of Jiangnan send troops out to arrest the displaced people, let alone let other provinces directly cut down the displaced people, or directly accept the displaced people.

But after the governor of Jiangnan deliberately concealed Haikou's commit, he became suspicious. In particular, the information revealed in King Xin's second secret letter made him wonder if Guo Shoufu was plotting with the governor of Jiangnan.

It's a pity that King Xin has been there for a short time, and he can only find out that there were indeed ships that docked and left last month, and as for the details of the casualties of the people along the coast, it seems that they were covered up by the Governor Wu, and they can't dig deeper things for the time being......

Huo Yanzhi touched his chin and went through the resumes of Guo Shoufu and Governor Wu again.

Except that the latter was the chief examiner of the former and the former was the latter's mentor when he took the Chunyu exam, he didn't find any clues. Even, although the master and apprentice have a big family and a lot of children, grandchildren, nephews and nephews, they are stunned that they have not married, and they are also in the court and one outside these years, as if they are deliberately avoiding something.

Huo Yanzhi's heart suddenly moved, and he called Zhao Jiufu and asked, "Is Guo Shoufu sixty-nine or seventy?" Is there going to be a big deal this year? ”

Zhao Jiufu was a little confused, His Majesty suddenly asked if he thought Guo Shoufu was old, and he still wanted to occupy a seat and not move the pit?

"Your Majesty, it should be sixty-nine. However, Guo Shoufu is a native of the south, and I heard that their custom there is to hold a whole birthday a year in advance. ”

Huo Yanzhi nodded: "Well, Guo Shoufu has worked hard and is highly respected, so he can't be slow this time." You go to my private vault tomorrow to choose a few good things to prepare, and send them to Guo's mansion at the end of the month. ”

Zhao Jiufu wondered and walked away.

"It's strange, Your Majesty has never worried about a courtier's birthday banquet, why did he suddenly change his personality today? I'm afraid that even the birthdays of these ladies in the harem, Your Majesty doesn't remember any of them. Even after a few days of the lady's birthday, I reminded Your Majesty to remember to let me prepare a gift, tsk~"

Early the next morning, after serving Huo Yan from top to bottom, Zhao Jiufu pinched the key and went to open the door of the warehouse, and picked out a few auspicious, safe and unsurprising furnishings.

After beckoning the little eunuchs to clean up the things and put them in one place, he personally closed the door and prepared to leave.

It was also at this time that he heard a movement from next door: "Is there anyone outside?" Is Sister Yuxue here? I've finished copying the palace rules, can you let me out? Anyone? ”

Zhao Jiufu glanced at the two little eunuchs beside him suspiciously, and one of them came up to explain with a flexible mind.

"Mr. Zhao is busy, so he doesn't know about it, right? A few days ago, a palace man teased with the guards in private, and happened to be bumped into by the lady concubine, so Sister Yuxue punished someone here to copy the palace rules. With such a thick pile of palace rules, it used to take five or six days to finish copying at the earliest, but I didn't expect her to finish it so quickly, and I don't know if she has cut corners......"

Zhao Jiufu's stubby eyebrows twisted, he seemed to have heard of this, and he didn't ask too much, let alone which palace person was so lightly picked. But, listening to that thin female voice at this time, it seems a little familiar?

"Which palace man is it? What's your name? ”

The little eunuch said: "It seems to be called Wei's, it's new, and the little one hasn't dealt with her before......"

Zhao Jiufu opened his mouth, his expression was a little strange, he took two steps forward, looked at the big lock on the small door and stopped again.

"Since the punishment is over, just tell Yuxue and let her open the door and let her go. The little ones will be punished for making mistakes, but ......"

He didn't say anything more and left, although the little eunuch who was in charge of passing the word didn't understand it, he also moved the words to Yuxue, who frowned a little when he heard it, but still went to take Zhiwei out in person.

Seeing Zhi Wei's haggard but not embarrassed appearance, Yuxue nodded slightly in her heart, and her bad feelings for her also subsided a little.

"After this battle, do you have a long memory?"

Zhi Wei nodded hurriedly: "I was careless that day, and I shouldn't have delayed there." But Sister Yuxue, I really only told him one word, and I don't even know what his name is......"

"Alright, you don't have to explain this to me. This is the case with the palace rules, the guards and the palace maids must not have personal affairs, and those who violate them will be exiled at least and will not be killed. Even if you want to speak for official duties or for other reasons, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not fall into the prestige of your master......"

Yuxue came to a long list of sermons with a straight face, and Zhiwei didn't dare to be distracted, and after listening carefully, Yuxue let her go with satisfaction.

"Go down and freshen up, change your clothes and go back to duty. Sloppy and sloppy, don't be recognized as the emperor when you go out, you don't have to lose the face of the rest of us! ”

Zhi Wei, who has not been able to freshen up for the past few days and only barely relies on "dry cleaning" to keep her face tidy, retreated with a blushing face.

Yuxue held the thick pile of paper full of words, and then looked at Zhiwei's distant back, and her mood became complicated.

Although she was only from a civilian background, she also had a talented father who taught her to read and write when she was a child, and the truth that words are like others was taught to her by her father before he died. Therefore, when she saw this clear and vigorous handwriting, Yuxue began to wonder if her suspicion a while ago was wrong.

Someone who can patiently copy the thick palace rules in three days, and copy them so neatly and cleanly, and the style of writing is so atmospheric, if she hadn't known that it was written by Zhiwei first, she might have guessed that the writer was a man.

How can a person who can write such words be a flatterer who is bent on climbing the dragon's bed?

Zhi Wei, who had returned to normal and was in the palace team on duty, quickly noticed that the line of defense that Yuxue had been guarding seemed to be a little loose.

The most obvious sign is that Yuxue allowed her to enter the temple to water the bonsai, and in the afternoon, she even called her to fold a magnolia flower and insert it in a bottle, and hold it in the hall for decoration.

Zhi Wei was naturally very happy, and since then she has worked harder, and every time she enters the palace and meets the emperor, she tries not to look at her again.

I don't know if it's her psychological effect, after going back and forth like this a few times, Yuxue's eyes seem to be much more relaxed when she looks at her.

But the good times did not last long, and only a few days later, the emperor suddenly fell ill.

It's not a serious illness, it's just a cold and cold, and the imperial doctor's pulse also said that the solar terms are not good, and because the emperor is busy with government affairs, he prescribed a side medicine, and His Majesty got better again within two days of eating.

The emperor dragon was unwell, and the harem naturally had to express something, so the queen and many concubines came to visit together, although in the end, only the queen and a few concubines who really saw the emperor himself were put in. Zhiwei's status in Qiande Palace was already a bit marginalized, so she naturally wouldn't be stupid at this time, and she didn't meet the queen, Concubine Shu and others, and at this time she thanked Yuxue a few words in her heart.

After the emperor recovered from his illness, the queen suddenly rewarded the palace people in front of the emperor, in the name of serving His Majesty without merit and hard work, and the things were not valuable, so as not to violate the emperor's taboo.

But the strange thing is that Zhiwei found that her share seemed to be different from other second-class palace maids, with an extra pearl hairpin in it, and the workmanship was quite exquisite.

So, as a result, Yu Xue's eyes, which were in charge of receiving and distributing the work, were a little wrong.
