Chapter 16: A Dispute Between the Spy Emperor (1)

Lowering his eyes, Zhao Xiangling also put down his chopsticks: "Although there is a locust plague in Jiangnan this year, it has not caused much impact, and the price has risen wildly, mostly because someone is stockpiling grain." ”

Only food shortages will make prices go up. And what is behind the shortage, Zhao Xiangling does not need to say it thoroughly.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Hoarding grain and grass is only two possibilities, taking advantage of the food shortage to make money, piling up to fight in the future, since it is not the former, it can only be the latter.

"Your Majesty does you need a minister to investigate?" Li Ruiqing asked.

Zhao Xiangling's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled lightly: "No need, why bother to go to the left minister." The matter is still undecided, and it will be too late to talk about it then. ”

Li Ruiqing stopped talking, only looked at Zhao Xiangling, and saw her unusually calm face.

She's like that, when she needs to be calm, she can be serious in an instant.

"I'll use it well, I'll let Qinghua stay and clean it up later." Zhao Xiangling got up and shook his robe, "National Teacher, it's better for you to stay in Wutong Palace." Li Xiangfu has been very unstable recently, and I don't know what kind of person Zuo Xiang has provoked, so that someone has sent killers to assassinate him frequently, and even I am almost implicated. ”

Li Ruiqing got up with him, and couldn't help frowning when he heard these words. Assassination? He?

"I'm gone, I don't have to send it." Zhao Xiangling went forward, and Celadon immediately followed behind, and Qinghua stayed, cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and the unused meals.

"Celadon porcelain." Walking on the way back to his dormitory, Zhao Xiangling turned his head and asked Celadon Dao, "Why didn't anyone who let you stay in the Wutong Palace and watch the national teacher find anything abnormal." ”

Celadon was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, you know that the national teacher's kung fu is not low, and he doesn't want people to approach, so it really doesn't want half of the palace maid to get close to his house." ”

It's not that I haven't tried it, but I've been blasted out every time. There were so many people who bombarded it that no one dared to go.

Zhao Xiangling said: "Then no one found the wound on his hand?" ”

"Wounds?" Celadon continued, "I heard from the head of the person about this matter, because my hand was cut by the thorn of the lotus stem, I didn't return to your majesty, Your Majesty, don't you know?" ”

The person who pulled the national teacher into the water that day was clearly Zhao Xiangling, and Celadon thought that she should know about it, so she didn't tell her.

However, Zhao Xiangling didn't know.

She paused, was silent for a moment, and Fang muttered, "It turns out that it is the thorn of the lotus stalk......

Before she could think clearly, the sound of the flute came, gently raised, and drilled into her ears.

Looking at the sky, it is gradually darkening, and it is impossible for the palace people to have such leisure.

Zhao Xiangling's eyes moved slightly, and Celadon immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is the Xuanyin Gongzi you recruited into the palace last time, and it is the one who is with the National Teacher." ”

On the day of the feast, Li Ruiqing was not the only one who entered the palace.

"Xuanyin?" Zhao Xiangling sneered, disgust flashed in his eyes, "Since he is here to call me over with the sound of the flute, then I will reward him with a face." ”

Turning around, Zhao Xiangzero went in the direction of the flute.

When Celadon saw it, he hurriedly followed behind her: "Your Majesty, according to your orders, the slave maid ordered Donglin to investigate the identity of this person, and sure enough, he found a clue." ”

"Oh?"

"Although this person's identity is complete, he is said to be a descendant of the former dynasty who lived in seclusion as a medical saint, and there is evidence to prove his identity, and clues can also be found, but Your Majesty, you know that the descendant of the medical saint is ......"

It's Li Ruiqing.

Zhao Xiangling couldn't confirm this again. When he had a fetal poison attack on his body, he was looking for Li Ruiqing's mother.

After a pause, Celadon continued: "Later, I found that he seemed to have some connection with Jiangnan Weaving. ”

Zhao Xiangling listened to her and realized that she seemed to have finished speaking.

"What else?"

Celadon replied: "Your Majesty, you know this at present. ”

"Pass the order, Donglin and others will be fined for half a month." Zhao Xiangling said, "Give them more than two days to find out this thing!" ”

Celadon said: "Your Majesty, the figure behind him is really ......"

"It has something to do with Jiangnan Weaving, and you don't need to check it to know." Zhao Xiangling snorted, "The green sleeves he wore when he came to see me that day are the silk weaving made in Hangzhou, and you also recognize the origin of the green bamboo on his body, it is the embroidery girl who can embroider on both sides of the dragon robe for me before." ”

Of course, it will not be Zhao Xiangling who recognizes the embroidery technique, but Qingfeng, who is proficient in embroidery around her.

"What can be seen at a glance, Donglin didn't find out the reason for it for two days, it's really merciful that I didn't deduct their money." Zhao Xiangling said, "Tell them to check on me, and go to the top of the Ministry of Industry to check on me!" ”

Jiangnan weaving funds come from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, of which the Ministry of Industry is the most connected.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Celadon lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice.

The place where Xuanyin lives is a bamboo forest, which is very consistent with Zhao Xiangling's impression of seeing him for the first time.

One person stood tall, the flute sounded slowly, and the voice was complaining.

Zhao Xiang ordered the other attendants to stay where they were, and only let Celadon Qingyun follow her forward. After walking a few steps, he stopped not far from Xuanyin.

After finishing the song, Xuanyin put away the flute and turned his head towards Zhao Xiangling. He bowed down and said, "Your Majesty." ”

"No courtesy." Zhao Xiangling stood in place, with no intention of stepping forward.

Xuanyin got up and looked straight at Zhao Xiangling, his eyes did not dodge in the slightest. Zhao Xiangling didn't speak, so he couldn't leave on his own, so he could only stand where he was and wait for orders.

After a while, Zhao Xiangling said: "Xuanyin Master inherits the medical saint? ”

Xuanyin bowed: "Exactly." ”

"So......" Zhao Xiangling stretched out his hand, revealing an arm, "Why don't you take a look for me?" ”

Hao's wrist is like snow, and it looks more and more crystal clear in the rising moonlight, Zhao Xiangling seems to regard this person as his own, and does not pay attention to male and female defense with him.

Xuanyin reached out and put his finger on Zhao Xiangling's wrist: "Since Your Majesty can trust the grass people, what reason does the grass people have?" ”

He just wanted to put his finger on Zhao Xiangling's skin, but the latter put his hand behind his back, pointed to the pavilion behind him and said, "It's tiring to stand here, why don't we stand there." ”

Xuanyin's hand landed in the air. He looked at Zhao Xiangling's face and bowed his head slightly: "Since Your Majesty has words, how can Xuanyin not listen?" ”

Zhao Xiangling smiled and took the lead to the pavilion. Xuanyin followed behind her, keeping two steps away.

Celadon ordered someone to lay out the soft cushions, Zhao Xiangling sat down, pointed to the opposite of himself, and chuckled: "Xuanyin, you just sit there, you don't have to be formal." ”

Xuanyin glanced at the distance between the two and understood what Zhao Xiangling meant. This distance is not something that can be obtained by taking the pulse.

He didn't mention it again, but sat down and looked at the smile on Zhao Xiangling's face opposite and the ...... she was holding in her hand A flower rooster.

For a moment, there was a slight stunned look in Xuanyin's eyes.

Zhao Xiangling happened to catch it, touched the head of the rooster Ruiqing, and smiled at Xuanyin: "This is my new chick, how is it, is it good?" ”

In Zhao Xiangling's hand, the 'fledgling' had a red fleshy crown, a pair of black eyes wrapped in a layer of brown, its mouth tied with a small cage, and oily feathers covered the surface, reddish-brown, black, and white.

It's a big, and it couldn't be more obvious!
