Chapter 65 (1st Update)
Due to the heavy rain this year, the early morning is up, and the problem of flooding in the Sichuan River valley is still discussed.
Yun Chi controlled half of the disaster relief after the last flood in the capital, because there was an accident in the southwest, and he handed over the rest of the affairs to others, because he was not in the capital, he had earlier agreed to build water conservancy and water control plans in the Sichuan River Valley, but also because he was in the southwest, the road was far away, and it was difficult to control, and it was delayed.
Now, he has returned to the capital, and the problem of flood control in the Sichuan River Valley has been put back on the agenda.
Because it is still a preliminary plan, it is still to be revised at the discretion of the party.
Hua Yan listened to the affairs of the court, you said a word to me, I didn't see any real effective methods, and gradually became sleepy, and seeing that the ministers did not submit them again, they quietly went down the steps and slipped out of the hall from behind.
Yun Chi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.
The courtiers all found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be in a good mood today, since the trip to the southwest and the return of Lin'an, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has added a little bit of prestige, which makes people dare not think easily in front of him, but today, he has changed his solemn complexion for several days, and his eyebrows and eyes are a little softer, so that even if the whole morning court is discussing serious court affairs, the atmosphere is more relaxed than before.
Zhao Zaifu looked at Yun Chi, secretly thinking about what happened to the East Palace? I couldn't figure it out for a while.
After Hua Yan came out of the Golden Palace, she stood outside the gate of the palace, watching the rain fall outside like beads, crackling on the ground, and forming a line, thinking that the rain was heavier than before, and it was estimated that the area around the Sichuan River Valley was flooding again.
However, in recent years, the Sichuan River Valley has been empty, and the people who do not want to move out of their homeland have moved to live in the mountains, and there are few cases where the embankment bursts, a large area of water, and more than 100,000 people have been killed and injured five years ago.
She was thinking about it, when Zhao Zaifu's eldest follower came over and smiled and called a thousand, "Father-in-law Xiaozhongzi!" ”
Hua Yan turned her head and saluted him, but she couldn't call her name, so she simply smiled and didn't call him.
Na Chang Sui was worried about what Zhao Zaifu had explained, and he didn't care, he took out something from his sleeve, handed it to her, and whispered, "I saw that my little father-in-law likes this kind of play very much, and it happened that I met one in the market a few days ago, so I thought of my little father-in-law, take a look, can you wish?" ”
Hua Yan's mind turned, and instead of picking up his things, she lowered her voice and asked with a smile, "What is this?" ”
The man immediately opened the box, "It is a jade pot with excellent water head, it is rare to see, especially the carver, it is even more rare, you see, this is the handwriting of Yu Huasheng, a master of skillful carving in the previous dynasty." ”
Hua Yan reached out and took it when she heard this, looked at it casually, and nodded, "Yes, it's really Yu Huasheng's handwriting, it's really rare." ”
The man smiled and said, "Little father-in-law laughed!" It's extremely rare, and it's not easy to mess with. ”
Hua Yan put it in her hand and played with it, thinking about whether Xiao Zhongzi could easily accept the gift? He smiled and said, "It's a good thing, but it's useless!" ”
The man smiled and hurriedly said, "What did the little father-in-law say?" Do you like, where do you need to do it? If you like it, you and I have been friends for a few years, and it is okay to move around a thing in private. ”
Hua Yan didn't speak.
The man immediately said, "I have been on duty in front of Zaisuke for many years, and Zaisuke often says that when the water is clear, there are no fish." When the words fell, he smiled, "Otherwise, I'm a minion, where can I have the money to buy this thing?" ”
Hua Yan nodded, thinking that Zhao Zaifu was right.
Seeing him nodding, the man whispered, "Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you alone, but in the future, the emperor has regulations, and he will always mention some people to bring with him, and in the future, as the chief manager of the palace, the little father-in-law can't be the same as before. ”
Hua Yan was happy all of a sudden, "That's right." ”
When the man saw her nodding and smiling again, he seemed to be enlightened, and his heart was overjoyed, and he asked, "What does the little father-in-law think of this gift?" ”
Hua Yan said solemnly, "Excellent." ”
The man smiled and said, "That'...... Can the little father-in-law accept it? ”
Hua Yan thought that Xiao Zhongzi must be very fond of this kind of gadget, otherwise people would not take the initiative to send it to the door, generally take the initiative to send it to the door, will do what they like, she pondered that the water is clear and there is no fish is very right, and pondering that this gift is a double-edged sword, taking people with short hands and eating people with short mouths, it also depends on how to take and eat.
In the Sichuan River Valley, if you want to control the floods, you will have to use a large amount of money from the treasury in the future, although it is said that it is taken from the people and used by the people, but it will inevitably increase taxes, but if it is robbed of the rich and help the poor, and the country is prosperous, then this gift will not be collected in vain!
A jade pot worth thousands of gold was easily taken out by Changsui, which shows that Zhao Zaifu's mansion is very rich.
She remembered the gift received by Zhao Zaifu on his birthday, and the East Palace sent 600,000 taels of silver.
So, he made an exception for Xiao Zhongzi and nodded, "Thank you, brother, I really like this thing, so I will accept it!" I'll give you one another day, and I'll exchange gifts. ”
When the man heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said happily, "You don't have to. ”
Hua Yan stiffened her face, "It's said that it's a courtesy, if the brother doesn't agree, I can't accept this thing." ”
The man was stunned, and thought, "Well, if you are still courteous, you will be courteous." ”
Hua Yan felt that this person was worthy of being brought by Zhao Zaifu, and his mind was very lively, so he agreed in a blink of an eye. With such a big move, what do you want to say out of her mouth? So, she said wistfully, "Brother, your thing is too expensive, all these years, you also know me, only take a little bit of money from His Royal Highness, this is a courtesy...... It's not as precious as yours. ”
The man immediately said, "I have a friendship with my little father-in-law, and this gift is really fine." ”
Hua Yan took the initiative to say, "That's it, what's the matter with you, just say it today, as long as it's not the crime of killing your head and losing your head to be punished by His Royal Highness the Prince, I will respond to you." Otherwise, if I accept this gift from you, I will not be sure. After speaking, he couldn't put it down and played with the jade pot.
When the man heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and then looked at Xiao Zhongzi as if he was very happy with this jade pot, and his heart blossomed, thinking that Zai Fu would get out of the car and give this to him to Xiao Zhongzi, which was really useful, and instantly admired and admired Zhao Zaifu like a surging river.
So, he climbed up the pole given by Hua Yan and said, "This, it must not, where can I harm my little father-in-law." ”
"That's good." Hua Yan deliberately breathed a sigh of relief and urged, "Say quickly, Your Highness should go down to the court in a while." ”
The man didn't allow much thought, and leaned close to her and asked, "I can't think of anything else for a while, but I'm curious about what happened in the East Palace today?" Why did Your Highness wake up late? Since His Royal Highness was in charge of the country, except for the time when he was exempt from the dynasty, he was rain or shine, and he never missed the early dynasty for some reason. ”
Hua Yan didn't expect to ask such a simple matter, and then thought about it, the matter of Yun Chi's identity was not a simple matter, even if he had not slept well for a long time, she suddenly came yesterday, he was in a good mood, had a good night's sleep, got up late, and because she was going to follow, he cleaned up, so he delayed for a while, in fact, it was not too late.
But such a simple thing, in the eyes of others, turned out to be very simple.
Now Yun Chi's every move has made Zhao Zaifu, who is more than half a hundred years old and has experienced a lot, vigilant, not to mention the rest of the courtiers?
It can be seen that the majesty of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really extraordinary now!
She thought that people would give a jade pot worth thousands of gold, just to inquire about such a small matter, it couldn't make people feel that it was worthless, and there would be no next time.
So, she quietly said a shocking news to the long follower, "The crown princess came to Beijing yesterday!" ”
"What?" The long follower's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Xiao Zhongzi in disbelief. He didn't expect that Zaisuke just asked him to casually put a few words, and he actually came up with such a big news.
The crown princess came to Beijing?
Lin'an Huayan came to Beijing?
He was stunned for a long time, and looked at Hua Yan, "Little father-in-law, what you said is true?" This...... Why haven't you heard of it? ”
Hua Yan thought that I was entering Beijing, and she didn't want people to know, so naturally no one would know, including His Royal Highness the Prince. She grinned and said, "It's true, what am I lying to you for?" Your brother gave me such a big gift, I can't fool you. After the words fell, he rubbed the jade pot in his hand, "It was yesterday night, when the rain arrived in the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was happy, so he naturally missed the early dynasty." ”
"Oops...... This...... It's unexpected. Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just come back from Lin'an? Why did the crown princess come to Beijing? The man asked again.
Hua Yan shrugged, her face was not red and she said breathlessly, "After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to Beijing, he thought about the crown princess day and night, and sent three letters a day, but the crown princess was helpless, and he urged her to come to Beijing to stay for a while." ”
The man slapped his head, "This...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... After returning to Beijing, the court was busy...... Have time to write three letters a day? ”
Hua Yan gave him a look that you don't know His Royal Highness the Prince, sighed and said, "The sleeping space is empty, haven't you seen that His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes are all blue shadows these days?" I slept well yesterday, and the green shadow was gone. ”
