The reason why Li Mu walked out of Renshou Palace with a condensed face was of course not as the palace maids and eunuchs guessed, Princess Zhou did not agree to obey him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Why did you leave so soon? Could it be that Princess Zhou is not attractive?

That's not it, Princess Zhou is very attractive, although her appearance is slightly lower than that of Zhang Yan, who is known as the queen of cleatra, she also has the color of the harem.

Zhang Yan's posture is more complicated, when she didn't enter the palace, she was a lady, but she had a charming and gorgeous appearance, this kind of combination of knowledge and charm is like a cup of poison that makes men want to stop.

On the contrary, Princess Zhou is like an antidote to this cup of poison, dignified and beautiful, and the country is full of beauty, just like the bowl of stomach-nourishing decanting soup after drinking a cup of intoxicating spirits.

Li Mu really wants to stay in the warm pavilion of Renshou Palace for a while, and the beauty is talking about life on the side, which will be a wonderful thing.

But he heard bad news from Princess Zhou, so he had to leave Renshou Palace in a hurry and rush towards the Taihe Palace, which was also the reason why those palace maids and eunuchs wanted to be crooked.

Walking on the royal road of the palace, Li Mu played with the jade wrench in his hand and rushed towards the Taihe Palace, recalling the news he had just gotten in his mind.

From the mouth of Princess Zhou, I learned that it has officially entered the first year of Chongzhen, that is, 1628, not only that, but more than half of this year has passed.

Li Mu stayed in this plane for a month, and there was a nine-fold time difference between the two planes, and a full nine months had passed since he left the Ming plane.

Nine months is enough for the Ming plane to enter the first year of Chongzhen, and consume most of the year.

This is not the most important thing, time has passed, and the most important thing is that the Great Ming Plane has passed the season of the first grain harvest.

The correction is that in the first year of Chongzhen, as recorded in history, there was a great drought in the north, thousands of miles of red land, and no grass grew in Shaanxi, and Shaanxi began to have a great drought for many years since this year.

It also began the most famous migration in history.

...

At this time, the only topic discussed by the ministers at the Taihe Palace court meeting was the great drought in Shaanxi at the beginning of the spring of this year, and the people's summer grain was not harvested.

The temple was full of ministers who were qualified to go to the court, but it was not as noisy as the vegetable market during the great court meetings in the past.

At this time, the ministers in the court class lowered their heads one by one, either looking at the soap-colored official boots under their feet, or looking at the gold brick floor paved in the Taihe Palace, looking like there was a big secret in it.

The dragon chair was empty, and the new emperor Zhu Cihong did not sit on it.

This is because the new emperor is small, young and not more important, even if it is placed on the dragon chair, it will not play any role, the child will not sit upright well, crawling around to cause worry, and sometimes pay attention to whether it will wet the dragon chair.

In order to let the new emperor listen to the government, the ministers below raised their eyes and saw a trickle of Danbi slowly flowing down when they reported on the government, which really damaged the majesty of the emperor.

If this is the case, it is better to leave the dragon chair empty first, and wait for the new emperor to grow up and be sensible, anyway, it is now the queen mother who is in charge of the country, and the young new emperor will not be needed.

Therefore, every time there is a big court meeting, Zhang Yan, the Empress Dowager of Yi'an, will sit on the phoenix chair on the right side of the dragon chair and listen to the reports of the courtiers below.

Today is no exception.

Seeing that the Manchu Dynasty was silent, Zhang Yan, who was the empress dowager of the prison country, frowned, was silent for a while, sighed and said: "You are all my ministers of the Ming Dynasty, isn't there anyone who gives the mourning family a charter?" ”

Obviously, with a questioning tone, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu looked moved, shrunk his neck, and remained silent, no one dared to stand up and speak.

This matter is easy to do for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and it is not easy to do, as long as the court has silver, it is very easy to solve, it is nothing more than the matter of the household department using the silver to buy food for disaster relief.

The problem is that the household department simply does not have any money to come up with.

Of course, it is also possible to let the granaries in various places open warehouses to put grain for disaster relief, but no one dares to say this method, because no one knows how much grain there is in the granaries in various places.

Anyone who whitewashes the peace will say, but no one dares to speak first when the facts are exposed.

For a while, the entire court could not hear a trace of other sounds, only the breathing and heartbeat of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, saw that no one in the Manchu Dynasty had spoken, put her hands in front of her and said again: "Do the ministers let the mourning family watch the disaster in Shaanxi, and the people have no harvest?" But the imperial court can't come up with a feasible solution? ”

When the Manchu Dynasty heard Zhang Yan's words, he bowed down and pleaded: "The ministers are incompetent. ”

Looking at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhang Yan felt sad and said: "Is there no one who can save the people of Li who have been affected by the disaster in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

At this time, Zhang Yan knew that it was so difficult to take care of the huge country, unlike usual, when he just looked at the six pieces of music.

Now she wants to have someone who can shelter her from the wind and rain and solve all her troubles for her, so that she doesn't have to be overwhelmed like she is now.

A figure unconsciously appeared in his mind, and then he shook his head, feeling impossible, the figure that Zhang Yan thought of was Li Mu, but nine months had passed, and she had not received any news of his return.

It was like Li Mu appearing out of thin air, making her feel that the things that happened before were like a dream.

Retracting her thoughts, Zhang Yan looked at the full hall of civil and military and wanted to point out someone to ask, but it was not always a way to do this: "Does Huang Ge have a way?" ”

Huang Liji, who had his eyes closed, heard that he was named by the Queen Mother, tidied up his court clothes and came to the middle, and said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager, the people of Shaanxi have no harvest in the great drought, and the old minister feels that in addition to reducing or reducing taxes in Shaanxi, only the imperial court will allocate money to buy grain from grain merchants for disaster relief, but." ”

Seeing that Huang Liji paused, Zhang Yan hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”

Huang Liji, who paused, continued: "Back to the Queen Mother, Shaanxi has suffered a disaster, and the grain merchants will definitely take the opportunity to raise prices, and the silver allocated by the household department will not be able to buy much grain at that time. ”

"What about opening the warehouse and putting grain?" Zhang Yan thought that the imperial court had a granary.

"The Queen Mother, as far as the old minister knows, the grain in the Jingcang is only enough to maintain the operation of the capital, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the grain and grass in Liaodong are still not surplus, and the grain storage situation in other places is also very worrying, and the wars in the first emperor have been almost consumed." After speaking, Huang Liji stopped talking.

Zhang Yan knew the meaning of Huang Liji's words, and the implication was that the grain in Jingcang could not be moved, and there was not much left in the local area because of the continuous war.

But how is this good?

Zhang Yan, who had lost her square inch, sat on the phoenix chair and sighed: "Could it be that the mourning family can only watch the people of Li suffer?" ”

Hearing Zhang Yan's sigh, Huang Liji had to stand up again and said: "The old minister implores the Queen Mother to allocate money from the treasury to buy food for the household department to save the people of Liming. ”

When the other officials heard Huang Liji's proposal to allocate money from within, they were all overjoyed, at least this method did not require them to waste a slight, and it was the royal silver.

Besides, some time ago, they heard that Jinyiwei copied eight Jin merchants in Shanxi, adding a lot of money to the royal treasury, and it was time to take it out.

This thought was only for a moment, and after Huang Liji finished speaking, other officials also asked one after another: "I implore the Queen Mother to have mercy on the people of Li and open the inner house." ”

Seeing that the Manchu Dynasty was like this, Zhang Yan really didn't have any way, but fortunately, the inner money is indeed rich now, and the more than 120 million taels of silver that Li Mu put in were used for the expenses of the palace, that is, for Jinyiwei.

Just as Zhang Yan was about to say yes, a loud, but cold voice sounded outside the Taihe Palace, which made the entire hall look sideways.

"Want to use your money?"

"A bunch of waste, what's the use of the Ming Dynasty wanting courtiers like you? It's better to kill it. ”

After saying this, a figure gradually approached the door of the Taihe Palace.
