Chapter 163: Prescription
The country is rugged and has narrow plains. Due to the lack of land suitable for cultivation, the agricultural area is small. The food harvested is barely enough to meet the needs of the population of the country. But to make matters worse this year, a locust plague has occurred in the country, and if effective treatment measures are not taken immediately, the crops will not be harvested.
However, there is no cure to kill the locusts and curb the spread of the locust plague. There is no country in the country of Huouxi, but there is a treasure in the world, but there is a country of outstanding people. In desperation, Ha Xin'er had no choice but to send envoys to the country with generous gifts, hoping that Zhu Heyu would give the prescription to Hu Ou Xi and save the country from fire and water.
It's just that Zhu Heyu is obsessed with Ha Xin'er. A few months ago, when Ha Xin'er wanted to help Zhu Heyu with the grain and grass of Hu Ou Xiguo, Ha Xin'er bluntly blocked her and released Lu Zilei in exchange. When Zhu Heyu asked Ha Xin'er to release Zhuran, Ha Xin'er proposed a way to exchange one person for one - to exchange Zhuran for Lu Zihan.
Two things made Zhu Heyu very unhappy. The envoys came to ask for a prescription, and first, Zhu Heyu considered that the locust plague was related to the livelihood of the people of the country of Ou and Xi, and did not help Ha Xin'er to tide over the difficulties.
Second, there was a famine in the country of Ouxi, and the hunger was uncontrollable, which affected the border trade between the two countries.
Third, when Zhu Heyu had no way out, Ha Xin'er helped out. Now that the country is in trouble, even if he has no love for Ha Xin'er, he is grateful.
Therefore, the prescription is for Hashin'er. But in order to humiliate Ha Xin'er, Zhu Heyu asked him to come to the country in person to get it.
That time when he heard that the Empress Dowager was leaving, Zhu Heyu was afraid that he would not see the old lady for the last time, so he rushed from Lingxi to Kyoto in spite of his serious injuries, which took only two days. He asked Ha Xin'er to come and get the prescription in person, although the insect plague was urgent, it would take three days to go back and forth. The locust plague is urgent, and three days will further reduce grain production. Therefore, when confirming that Ha Xin'er had come out of the country of Ou Xi and rushed to Kyoto City in the country of Yuanchen, Zhu Heyu privately sent someone to send the prescription to Hu Ou Xi, and Ha Xin'er could only make a trip to the country in vain. By the time Hu Ouxi came to deliver a message to Ha Xin'er, it would be another day and a half. In the next few days, he will humiliate Hassin'er. humiliating Ha Xin'er without affecting the suppression of the disaster, Zhu Heyu's heart was very happy.
Zhu Heyu thought to himself that Ha Xin'er, as the king of a country, in order to save the people of a country, if he couldn't withstand this trip, he was not worthy of being the monarch of the country.
In a day and a half, Ha Shin'er finally arrived in Kyoto City. In order to humiliate him, Zhu Heyu deliberately did not receive him in the Vermilion Bird Palace, but in his Yiqing Palace.
It was already afternoon when Ha Xin'er saw Zhu Heyu. Zhu Heyu is playing chess with Zhu Ran in the Yiqing Palace. When Zhao Yuquan came to report that the monarch of the Hu'ou Xi Kingdom had come to see the emperor, Zhu Ran was really surprised.
Ha Xin'er entered the hall, and the dust and servants who rushed to Kyoto from Lingxi made the already unhandsome face even more rugged. The locust plague is urgent, and he has asked Zhu Heyu to restrain his innate arrogance a little, but only slightly. used the etiquette of the elders of the Huou Xiguo to make a gesture to Zhu Heyu. immediately went straight to the point and asked Zhu Heyu for a prescription.
Zhu Heyu has been fighting in Lingxi for a long time, and he has long been familiar with the etiquette of the Huou Xiguo, and seeing that Ha Xin'er is so inferior to him, he deliberately did not mention the prescription, but said to Zhu Ran beside him: "The Great Khan has worked hard to come and serve tea to the Great Khan!" ”
Ha Xin'er noticed Zhu Ran at this time, and glanced at Zhu Ran with a trace of emotion that Zhu Ran couldn't understand. Zhu Ran guessed that Ha Xin'er wanted her to intercede with Zhu Heyu. It's just that... Zhu Heyu's attitude of obviously delaying the prescription at this moment, Zhu Ran didn't dare to say more. She knew why Zhu Heyu was like this, when she was in the country of Hu'ouxi, Ha Xin'er embarrassed him, and he wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge back. The locust plague is urgent, and there must not be a moment's delay! Zhu Ran was deeply disappointed in Zhu Heyu in his heart, he was not humiliating Ha Xin'er, but joking with the lives of the people of Huou Xiguo! Although the life and death of the people of the country is not a matter for the people of the country, human life is a matter of heaven, and all living beings are precious!
Is Zhu Heyu so narrow-minded!
Zhu Ran poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ha Xin'er according to Zhu Heyuzhi's instructions, "Great Khan, please use tea." ”
Ha Xin'er looked at Zhuran and took the teacup. Furious in his heart, he wanted to throw the tea cup on the ground, but for the sake of medicine, he still restrained himself, and put the cup on the pear blossom wood case with a lot of strength, making a lot of noise.
Zhu Ran secretly sighed in his heart that Ha Xin'er had no city in his chest, and he didn't know what it meant to know the times as a handsome man. This is the Yuanchen Kingdom, and you Ha Xin'er have a request from Zhu Heyu, the emperor of the Yuanchen Kingdom, how can you refuse to suffer the slightest grievance as in your own country.
Zhu Heyu smiled sarcastically when he saw Ha Xin'er's move. Asked Ha Xin'er: "Is the Great Khan's beloved concubine rude to the Great Khan, or is Jueyuan Chenguo's tea inferior to Ouxi Spirits?" ”
Hearing Zhu Heyu's words, Ha Xin'er also smiled sarcastically, but he didn't answer Zhu Heyu for a long time.
Zhu Ran was afraid that Ha Xin'er would say something wrong and provoke Zhu Heyu's anger, and in the end, the people of Ou and Xi Kingdom would suffer, so he looked at Ha Xin'er and then at Zhu Heyu, and said: "Qing tea has the fragrance of clear tea, and the mellow of spirits and spirits, there is no comparison, it just depends on personal preference!" As he spoke, he picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Zhu Heyu, and said to Zhu Heyu: "After playing chess for a long time, the emperor moistens his throat." ”
Seeing that Zhu Ran had set up a staircase for him, Ha Xin'er followed down, picked up the cup placed on the wooden table, drank all the tea inside, and then exclaimed: "Good tea!" ”
Zhu Heyu glanced at him, and said leisurely: "Since the Great Khan likes to drink tea, I will taste a few more cups with the Great Khan at the grand ceremony of the Yuan Ji Kingdom tomorrow." ”
The implication of Zhu Heyu's words is......
As soon as Ha Xin'er heard this, the anger that was forcibly suppressed came out again, the locust plague in the country of Ou and Xi was imminent, but Zhu Heyu deliberately delayed time here!
Zhu Ran couldn't help but say beside him: "Your Majesty, ......"
Zhu Heyu waved his hand at Zhu Ran and said, "You go down first." ”
Zhu Ran couldn't help but confide in him, and retreated decently.
After walking a few steps out of the Yiqing Palace, I saw that Ha Xin'er was pregnant, and walked in front at the same pace as before, leaving the palace maid far behind. Ha Xin'er walked towards the Yiqing Palace, and Zhuran went to the Chenghuan Palace. The two met on the cobblestone-covered road.
It was just a face-to-face, Zhu Ran didn't say anything to Ha Xin'er, and Ha Xin'er didn't even look at Zhu Ran. Instead, the little eunuch who followed Zhu Ran knelt down to greet Ha Xin'er, and Ha Xin'er was also disdainful.
After Ha Xin'er walked away, the eunuch got up. Zhu Ran looked at the eunuch and asked, "What kind of errand do you do in the Yiqing Palace on weekdays?" ”
"If you go back to Niangniang, the slave is responsible for doing some chores in the Yiqing Palace."
Zhu Ran stopped and smiled at the little eunuch: "Do you recognize Lord Hubu Shangshu Xi Sushengxi?" ”
The eunuchs who can do things in the Yiqing Palace are all shrewd people, who are favored and who are not, like a mirror in their hearts. Seeing Zhu Ran asking, the little eunuch hurriedly said, "The slave recognizes!" ”
Zhu Ran nodded, and said, "Before King Lin An and General Xi left Beijing, they left a jade pendant here with me. I wanted to keep it for him, but the jade pendant was engraved with Western characters, thinking it was General Xi's ......"
Before Zhu Ran finished speaking, the little eunuch understood what Zhu Ran meant, and smiled at Zhu Ran: "General Xi has traveled all over the world, Lord Xi must be missing, and he must be happy to see this jade pendant." When Lord Xi comes to the Yiqing Palace, the slave must go to the Chenghuan Hall to inform the mother. ”
Zhu Ran smiled with satisfaction, but still said: "The concubine is not allowed to interfere in politics, although it is a matter of giving jade pendants, but I am afraid of causing people to be suspicious......"
"The slave understands that the emperor has all the opportunities and will not take care of such a trivial matter."
Zhu Ran sighed that it was easy to talk to a smart person, looked at the little eunuch, and said with a smile: "Gonggong Zhao only became a second-class manager at the age of thirty, you are still young, let's experience in the position of third-class manager first!" ”
Joy descended from the sky, and the little eunuch knelt on the ground to thank him. Zhao Yuquan only became a third-class manager at the age of twenty-five, and he is not even eighteen now!
"Don't be busy thanking me yet, let's talk about it when I see the emperor begging for your position another day!"
"Xie Niangniang's cultivation is a great grace! Xie Niangniang cultivates great grace! ”
