207 "Adaptation to the Soil"
The name of Guan Shaoqi is known to everyone in the business road, and the industry is all over the country.
The officials are all good businessmen, have first-class earning power, and make no small contribution to the national treasury every year. Although he was not an aristocrat, he was deeply courteous by the royal family and made good friends with various nobles.
And the current principal of the official family is Guan Shaoqi. The two are inseparable friends, and Guan Shaoqi also knows Shen Junmo's true identity.
Today, Shen Junmo came to him to borrow 30,000 quintals of rice from him. As for the reason, he also confessed to him.
A while ago, there were natural disasters in several towns in Hunshui County, causing many people to flee into the capital. When the emperor learned of this, he was furious. When the people are famine, it must be the government's inaction.
The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the local corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and opened a warehouse to provide grain relief to appease the victims. The imperial grain transportation route passes through the jurisdiction of the government of Yin Jianghuai. And Jiang Huai was originally a local talent, who was recommended and promoted by Shangguan by chance, obtained fame, took up the position of Fu Yin, and became Shangguan's peerless henchman.
I have to say that Jiang Huai is a very capable person who manages Fengqi City to be prosperous and prosperous. Fengqi County is not only an important place for economic development in the Southern Liang Kingdom, but also connects the northeast fortress, is an important frontier city, and is also an important place for soldiers.
If Shen Junmo wants to get control of this city, he must find a way to pull down Shangguan's peerless people.
If the imperial grain is stolen in the territory under the jurisdiction of Fengqi City, the emperor must condemn the local person in charge. Without the imperial grain, the desolate people will be restless, and then he will use these 30,000 loads of rice to appease the desolate people, not only won the hearts of the people, but the emperor will also be grateful to him. At that time, he recommended someone to the emperor to take over Jianghuai's position, and he was eighty or ninety percent sure.
In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor and the nine kings are at odds. But he could see clearly that the emperor's treatment of the nine kings was not so much patient and cowardice as tolerance.
In many things, the emperor is not afraid of the power of the Nine Kings, but turns a blind eye and deliberately accommodating.
He didn't know what entanglement there was between the emperor and the nine kings, but he knew that in the emperor's feelings for the nine kings, in addition to brotherly love, there was another kind of suspected guilt and compensation.
The emperor can treat himself badly, but it is related to the people's livelihood, but he still has his own principles, and he will not be ambiguous when he should be tough.
Therefore, he can't clash with the Nine Kings head-on, but must prescribe the right medicine, so that the emperor's trust in the Nine Kings will be shaken, and his power will be disintegrated bit by bit.
Shen Junmo came to the front hall, where Nalan Kang was sitting and drinking tea, but his expression was a little anxious and irritable.
"I don't know if the master is coming, I hope I will forgive me." Shen Junmo bowed his hand.
Nalan Kang got up, held his hands weakly, and said, "Whoever of us is with whom, there is no need to be so polite." ”
Shen Junmo tugged at the corners of his mouth lightly, made a gesture of please, and after Nalan Kang sat down again, he also sat down.
"Taishi came here so early, there must be something important."
Nalan Kang looked at him and said, "I won't go around in circles with you anymore, let's get straight to the point." He paused, then let out a long sigh and said, "I came this time for Concubine Li. ”
Shen Junmo's face was calm and composed, and he did not show doubts and unexpected reactions.
"I'm sure you've heard that, right?"
Shen Junmo nodded.
"I'm looking for you just to ask you to help Concubine Li." Nalan Kang said directly.
Shen Junmo frowned lightly and said, "The affairs of the harem, those of us who are courtiers, don't seem to be able to interfere. ”
Nalan Kang naturally knew his concerns, and he said, "I'm not asking you to intercede with the emperor. ”
Shen Junmo raised his eyebrows and looked at him puzzled.
Nalan Kang said: "If the emperor wants you to go on the expedition, I hope you can refuse for the time being." ”
Shen Junmo groaned and said, "Regarding the negotiation of peace or war, the emperor does not seem to have made a decision. Moreover, according to my observation, the emperor's intention is to favor the side of peace. ”
Nalan Kang seemed to be confident and said: "I have my own way to do this. ”
Shen Junmo looked at him as if surprised, first was silent, and then said faintly: "I have been fighting for many years, and I have seen too many tragic situations of displacement and family destruction. War is avoidable. ”
"Virtuous nephew, I know that you care about the people and can't bear to see the lives ruined. In fact, why don't I want the people to live and work in peace and contentment? However, those Miao nomads are too arrogant and rampant, and they don't give them a little deterrence, but they are afraid that they will continue to harass the people in the border areas, and they will also make the people complain, but they will feel that the court is cowardly and inactive. Those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world, the emperor will not fail to understand this truth. ”
Shen Junmo's face was calm, as if he was thinking.
"Besides, a mere Miao tribe is competing with our big country, like a mantis arm blocking a car. If they really want to fight, they are also afraid. ”
"What the master analyzed, the emperor can naturally think of it."
Nalan Kang smiled and said, "The Miao people took refuge in the North Yue Kingdom, which is why they are so unscrupulous. The North Vietnamese Kingdom has always been our confidant, but now the monarch of the North Vietnamese Kingdom is sick in bed, and the Six Princes have just quelled the civil strife, and the Six Princes are currently in control of the overall situation. And the emperor also knew that the virtuous nephew had saved the lives of the six princes. If I listen to you going on the expedition, it will definitely give you some face, and maybe you can calm down the conflict without having to meet each other. ”
It turned out that he had already calculated everything.
Shen Junmo said lightly: "But, the king's fate is difficult to disobey. ”
"Virtuous nephew, our master and apprentice also have a deep relationship. I think you'll have a way! Narankang hinted.
Shen Junmo frowned slightly, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his dark eyes were dark, with a hint of coldness.
Shen Junmo understood.
"It's not that you say no, just don't rush to take a stand. I heard that many deserted people have been pouring into the capital recently, and some of them have contracted serious diseases on the road and brought them into the city. The virtuous nephew is kind-hearted, and personally goes to distribute food to the victims every day, and has close contact, but you should be careful not to be infected. ”
This sounds like a word of concern, but it has a fairly obvious implication.
Is this what it means to make him seriously ill and bedridden? Let him stall for time and wait for the emperor to be in a hurry. He thought that Nalan Kang would then "do his best" to find a cure for his stubborn illness, and then ask for credit in front of the emperor.
He nodded in understanding.
Nalan Kang left satisfied, and Shen Junmo slowly hooked his lips with a sneer.
————————
In the palace.
Ah Jiu's body also had problems, and his condition deteriorated, and he looked haggard. The emperor was very worried and invited the imperial doctor to treat her.
The imperial doctor came several times, but they couldn't tell what she was suffering from. There was no sign of poisoning in the pulse, but the expression was sickly.
In the end, the result of the diagnosis and treatment given by the imperial doctor was that Concubine Xian Niangniang was not accustomed to the water and soil, had mood swings, and was worried about becoming ill, so she needed to maintain her mentality and recuperate with peace of mind.
Therefore, Ah Jiu also had an excuse to refuse Shangguan Junye. Whenever he wanted to stay in Guan Ju Palace, Ah Jiu tactfully asked him to leave on the grounds of fatigue and discomfort.
And a certain concubine thought that her plan had succeeded.
The poison she gave was not the kind that killed immediately, but made people depressed and lifeless all day long. Just ask a man how to be interested when he sees such a haggard face.
Maybe you will care about one or two at first, but over time, you will definitely lose your patience and freshness, and the time you will have less time to step into the Guan Ju Palace, it will gradually fade away.
A certain concubine was thinking so, and was proud.
As everyone knows, she invisibly helped Ah Jiu.
Speaking of which, Ah Jiu still has to thank that person! After all, the emperor comes here too often, and she will get tired of it. Talk to her all day long, and she has no obligation to listen to him!
And as for her pathology, of course, it is her own masterpiece.
Her poison is not all harmful. Clever use can also be used as a lifesaver.
On this day, the emperor did not come, but sent someone to send her a lot of supplements.
She heard that the emperor had been very busy in the past two days, and Ah Jiu was in her arms, and unceremoniously accepted the precious supplements, and generously rewarded Liu Eryu'er.
She lay leisurely on the chaise longue, blowing the breeze comfortably in the courtyard.
The emperor ordered no one to disturb her, and seeing that the emperor didn't come to her, the other concubines naturally wouldn't come again.
At this time, an uninvited guest came to the door.
"Niangniang, there is a palace maid named Xiaocai who asks to see you." Liu Er came to report.
"Xiao Cai?" Ah Jiu looked sideways slightly, looking dazed.
I don't have any impression of this person at all.
"She said it was Princess Yuening's palace maid......"
Yue Ning?
Ah Jiu sat up suddenly.
Depend on! I actually forgot about that girl. The mess has made her dizzy lately, and she hasn't heard any news about the kiss, so she naturally left it behind.
Ah Jiu patted his forehead and hurriedly said, "Go and bring her in." ”
After a while, Liu Er came to her with Xiao Cai.
Ah Jiu didn't even have time to see her appearance clearly, and Xiao Cai knelt in front of her with a "bang".
"What are you doing here!"
She's just "sick", and she's not dead yet, what is she going to do when she comes?
"Concubine Xian, please save the princess."
Ah Jiu frowned and said, "If there is anything, get up and talk about it." ”
Liu Er stepped forward to help Xiao Cai up.
Xiao Cai said anxiously: "Concubine Xian, princess...... She doesn't want to live anymore, so please go and persuade her. ”
"Damn! Playing suicide again? ”
Xiao Cai shook her head and said, "The princess is determined to die, if the slave didn't find out in time, I'm afraid she would have ...... the princess a long time ago" She had palpitations, thinking about that scene, she was both sympathetic and powerless to the princess, so she choked up.
"What's the matter, isn't it that you can't think about it before you get married?"
Although the emperor has not officially decreed, he has imprisoned the princess. The princess also has no way to ask for help, and she has no way out, so she has to show her determination to die......"
"What can death solve! Ya is so stupid! ”
"The slave and maid can't persuade the princess! Mother, go see her. The princess hadn't eaten for two days. The princess may be able to listen to you......"
Ah Jiu frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "Okay, you take me to have a look." ”
