For the rest of the journey, the situation is not as serious as that of Weizhou, after all, there are some good officials who have done something in every era.

In addition, there are officials left by Mu Jingyi, and the further rectification of the rule of officials, the closer to Bianzhou, the better the situation becomes.

Luo Xiaoqiao and his entourage's itinerary was much faster, and after walking for two months, they had arrived in Caozhou, just in time for the "Flower Dynasty Festival" in February.

Luo Xiaoqiao walked in Caozhou City with great interest, taking a look at the local folk customs by the way.

……

Mu Jingyi, who was far away in Bianzhou, almost turned around for a whole month, and finally dealt with the government almost completely.

"Prime Minister Zuo, the emperor has ascended the throne, and seeing that the political situation is stable, it is also time for the draft."

An official came up to remind them that they naturally had plans to send their daughter to the palace.

This has been the case since ancient times, the new emperor has enveloped the power, and in-laws are the best means, and it is also a way to let the ministers feel the emperor's favor and die down.

"The show girl has always been counted by the household department, and the report is submitted, so I still listen to what Master Ge means about this matter."

When the junior official heard this, he immediately set his eyes on Ge Zhengtong.

Ge Zhengtong hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, my household department is not involved in this matter, if any of you are willing to take this errand, go and get it." ”

The officials frowned, full of disapproval: "Master Ge, you don't have a prevarication style on weekdays."

Ge Zhengtong looked at the sky with his eyes, but he touched his beard and didn't speak.

The officials from the north did not speak, and a group of people looked at each other.

Or did the right minister Wang Huaxin see something, and after the people dispersed, he quietly pulled Ge Zhengtong aside: "Lord Ge, I can't figure out the emperor's temper, this is a good intention and a good thing, tell me, what do you mean?" ”

Ge Zhengtong glanced him up and down, and he didn't smile: "The right minister hasn't been to Cangzhou?" ”

Wang Huaxin was confused: "I've been there, we just saw the emperor's decisiveness from Cangzhou."

"Isn't that the end of it, and you're still asking me what I'm doing?!" After Ge Zhengtong finished speaking, he shook his arms and left.

"This ...... This man...... What does that mean? "Right Xiang is confused.

However, the news above the officialdom has always been well-informed.

Although Ge Zhengtong only asked if the right minister had been to Cangzhou, the scheming officials had already refined the relevant information.

"Zuo Xiang, has something happened in Cangzhou?" Wang Huaxin asked Hualang.

Hua Lang looked at General Liu and the others in the distance, the expression on his face was a little complicated, "You didn't ask General Liu?" ”

"The Ministry of War is very secretive about this, and it is not interesting to ask for it," Wang Huaxin said.

"That's right if you didn't go," Hua Lang sighed, "I heard that a few generals were hung on the city wall on a cold day for a whole night." ”

"Why?" That's a confidant, Wang Huaxin is very puzzled.

"General Liu and General Hua sent a woman to the prince's room......"

Hua Lang's voice was fluttering and flickering, and there was a sense of unreality.

But at least for the moment, no one talks about the draft anymore.

As time passed, Mu Jingyi's mood became more and more depressed, especially when Feng Chenhao's letter was handed to him......

"Smack!" Mu Jingyi couldn't hold back any longer, slapped the letter on the table, stood up and was about to walk out.

The letter flickered as he moved, in large bold letters, "Cousin, I'm a father...... The big fat boy is very powerful, and not long after he was born, he was able to raise his head......"

I don't know when it started, Feng Chenhao also likes to use vernacular when he writes letters, perhaps influenced by Luo Xiaoqiao.

However, the letters written in the vernacular can indeed easily express feelings, and the joy that fills the whole article makes Mu Jingyi feel unhappy in comparison.

"Cousin, when the child is older, I'll take you there......"

Mu Jingyi asked Qin Yan, "Where are you?" ”

"Caozhou, we will be in Bianzhou in ten days," Qin said.

……

Outside the imperial study, there were about a dozen ministers standing, all of whom looked worried.

"Lord Qin, has the queen had any letters recently?" Ge Zhengtong asked Qin Yan cautiously.

Qin Yan's face was expressionless, "No!" ”

"That'...... The lower official didn't have anything important, so he said goodbye first and came back in a few days! Ge Zhengtong said that he was about to step back.

What are you kidding, when there is Luo Xiaoqiao's letter, Mu Jingyi's mood can still remain peaceful.

There was no news for a few days, and they didn't dare to rush at the gun.

The other ministers were still counting on him to be in front, and they were even more reluctant at this time.

If you want to say that this emperor was decisive before ascending the throne, it is true that after ascending the throne, the emperor's skills were also very good, and he saved enough face in the court.

But when I was called to the imperial study alone, it wasn't so good.

"Let Master Shi come in!" Mu Jingyi's voice was decisive, and Shi Yuanru, the secretary of the ministry, suddenly stood on end.

"I've seen the emperor!"

"Get up and speak."

"Yes!"

"How did you draft the test law you said before?" Mu Jingyi asked.

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan is revising", Shi Yuanru replied with some trepidation.

"Smack!" The book in front of Mu Jingyi fell on the table.

Shi Yuanru was excited, and subconsciously took a step back.

"This scientific expedition is presided over by your officials, and that's how your officials were chosen? Who is this Li Shibin? Don't you know about corruption and perversion of the law? Well?! ”

"Your Majesty, this, this subordinate will be checked a second time." Shi Yuanru fell to his knees in fright.

Li Shibin was indeed recommended by a subordinate, and felt that there was no problem in letting him be in charge of remote places, so he didn't check his background in detail, where did he think of it......

"Get out! Next time, you can say goodbye to your hometown! ”

"Ge Zhengtong!" Mu Jingyi shouted again.

"Your Majesty", Ge Zhengtong fast-forwarded in small steps and knelt down in the hall.

"How many states did the railway pass through? How many people are hired? How much silver is needed? Mu Jingyi's three questions came out.

Ge Zhengtong was a little dumbfounded, "This, let the lower official go back and ask the warden, the lower official can't remember clearly for a while." ”

Ge Zhengtong didn't dare to speak loudly.

"You didn't eat breakfast? Say what? Louder ......"

"Hua Lang, come in!"

"As the prime minister, the affairs of the people's livelihood can't be responded to, what do you want! Get out! ”

……

The officials hung their heads and looked at each other, full of bitterness.

Mu Jingyi explained the rest of the things, couldn't help it anymore, dressed in plain clothes, and went to Caozhou.

The official in charge of Caozhou Mansion is called Guan Xia, and at this time, he is staring at the merchants in the hall with a headache.

"Guan people, this year it is our turn to hold this "Flower Dynasty Festival" in Caozhou, last year's "Yuzhou" program was extremely outstanding, and the year before last, "Luzhou" is not a problem, we Caozhou, can not be left behind. ”

"Then what do you say? Yuzhou has a hundred flowers, and the butterfly fluttering meeting held in Luzhou ...... It's been a long time since other states thought of all the ways they can think of to celebrate, so how can we be brilliant? Guan Xia scratched his head with a headache.

"Didn't the lady come? Didn't ask her if she liked it? "A few of them knew the details and pricked up their ears.

"Xia Guan didn't dare to ......go," Guan Xia's head drooped.

"Master Guan, you're not right, this is a big deal, why don't you go with you to ask?"

……

When Luo Xiaoqiao went home, he saw a few black heads at the door, "A few adults are invited from the courtyard, what do you mean by coming here?" ”

After listening to Guan Xia's story, Luo Xiaoqiao covered his mouth and was happy, "This is a good festival, it just so happens that my Da Chu people are not prosperous, how about taking this opportunity to let a lover finally become a family?" ”

As soon as Guan Xia heard this, his eyes lit up, and this festive occasion was appropriate.

"Madame, how?"

"Have you ever heard of a heart-wrenching rhino?"

Luo Xiaoqiao remembered the prime-time program that was all the rage, what is it called Happy Camp? It's been so long that I almost can't remember.

It's okay to use their program and let the people follow suit.
