Chapter 50: If you want to die, you will die
"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read! Tonight is a new year, and everything can start from scratch! Let's hope that will change......"
Feng Lingyu smiled slightly, feeling that her wish was a little bigger, what can she do now for a year, it is not set in stone, and it may not even be able to keep her head.
The girl in front of her rarely smiled, and Baili Qingchen could tell whether she was smiling from the bottom of her heart or sneering, and she didn't seem to have any enthusiasm for life at this time.
She is like a wall clock in this deep palace, watching the time pass minute by minute, but she does not change anything.
"There will definitely be a change!"
At midnight, the watchman rang the gong, announcing that the year was over and the new year had begun, Feng Lingyu picked up the wine glass on the table and touched it with him, and said very happily,
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
The two of them chatted very happily and drank a lot of wine, and when Baili Qingchen left, he hugged Feng Lingyu back to the bed.
Feng Lingyu slowly opened her eyes after hearing the sound of the door closing, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she muttered in her heart, this little eunuch is quite interesting.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Queen Mother suddenly said she was ill, changed Wang Qinghua's name to Yunishang, and recruited her into the palace to wait.
Everyone knew that this jade dress was Wang Qinghua, but no one dared to debunk it.
The palace seems to be wrapped in a mysterious power, and everyone knows that now the Wang family is dominant, and it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble in the future.
General Feng is far away, and he can't say when he will come back, maybe it won't be so easy to come back.
The emperor has been even more busy these days, worshipping his ancestors, holding various activities, and the most important thing is that the new year is about to begin, and it is urgent to solve the problem of lack of food for the common people.
But no one in the court was able to solve this matter, the drought lasted for three years, the land did not grow grass, the people starved to death, and then it turned into a plague, even if it was the New Year, there were countless beggars everywhere in the city.
"Your Majesty...... The minister has already checked, those beggars are from Qingzhou, Qingzhou has been in drought for three years, there has been no harvest for many years, the people have fled in all directions, and many people have starved to death on the road.
If this matter is not resolved this year, more people will die by the end of the year, and it will also cause riots in various places! ”
Li Baihan told the emperor all the information he had collected during this time.
The man in the wheelchair frowned slightly, as if he already knew what was going on outside, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"In the past two years of war, the war has been tight, the treasury is empty, and there is no way to raise disaster relief funds......"
"This kind of thing has to be handed over to Lord Wang, you don't have to worry about this matter, send someone to gather the fleeing people together, give porridge every day, and then think of other ways!"
Baili Qingchen has always been worried about this matter, although the war has been raging in the past few years, it has not disturbed the normal life of the people, but the three years of drought are enough to ruin the fate of a country.
Heaven is not beautiful, and no one can do anything about this kind of thing.
"The Queen Mother drove to ......"
A sharp and shrill voice interrupted the conversation between the two people, and Baili Qingchen waved his hand to let him retreat.
Li Baihan nodded lightly and left through the back door.
"Sons see the queen mother!"
Baili Qingchen came out to greet him and said expressionlessly.
"The emperor doesn't seem to be in a good mood lately? This palace has also heard about some things outside the city, and if there is a problem, we have to solve it quickly.
It hasn't rained in Yucheng for three years, what does this mean, this shows that God can't stand it, someone must have angered God, so I invited a famous mage outside the palace and asked him to ask for rain!
The emperor should also prepare, call everyone in the palace at noon tomorrow, and be sure to arrive at the Temple of Heaven! ”
The tone of the Queen Mother's order made people listen very unpleasantly, but they didn't dare to refute it.
Baili Qingchen sighed and looked at the woman in front of him speechlessly.
"The thing that gives rain should be done every year, those wizards are deceitful, I have never seen them ask for rain, why does the queen mother be fooled every year?"
"It's better to believe it than not, this is a well-known shaman, and they know a kind of witchcraft, which I heard is very effective.
Even if you can't ask for rain, it can also show that there is something ominous in our country, since Feng Lingyu was named the queen mother, the situation in Xucheng has been repeated.
The main palace felt that she should be offered as a sacrifice to the rain god and made the queen! ”
As soon as the queen mother's voice fell, all the servants in the palace were so frightened that they didn't dare to raise their heads, which was clearly to kill the queen mother, and they killed them with this high-sounding reason.
You know, in such an environment, rumors and superstitions are very scary, and once you have an ominous reputation on the record, you may be burned alive.
The eunuchs and palace maids are all very frightened, now the queen mother is covering the sky with one hand, and she can do whatever she wants, the emperor is like a fictitious, and something will happen sooner or later if it goes on like this.
"What does the queen mean? Feng Lingyu is a weak woman, and it has anything to do with whether it rains or not? ”
Baili Qingchen sneered, eager to turn the woman in front of her into ashes, and the Queen Mother could think of such a disgusting way to get rid of Feng Lingyu.
"You don't understand this, this palace has already counted the queen's birthday, well, the queen is born an ominous person!"
The Queen Mother sat there talking serious nonsense, and no one dared to question what he said anyway, and even there were people in the palace who believed her words.
"The queen mother means to let me kill my queen mother with my own hands? If Feng Lingyu dies this year, and it still doesn't rain, will the queen mother be killed next year? ”
Baili Qing's breezy words frightened the Queen Mother so much that she almost didn't fall down, and suddenly became very nervous.
"This ...... When the first emperor died, all the living non-poor people had to be sent to the imperial mausoleum or martyrdom, perhaps because the position of the queen mother made God dissatisfied.
It's better for the Queen Mother to sacrifice for this matter, and let the shaman burn the Queen Mother to death tomorrow, which can show that my belief in God is very, very sincere! ”
Baili Qingchen didn't care whether the old guy would be angry at all, and the words he said made everyone gasp.
Don't say whether this kind of thing is right or wrong, as an emperor to say this kind of thing to his mother, it is a great rebellion.
The queen mother rarely saw him refute herself so angrily slapped the chair, stared at Baili Qingchen coldly, and gritted her teeth and roared, "Your Majesty, is this nonsense, you actually want to kill your own queen mother, is the emperor crazy?" ”
"Killing one's own mother and killing one's own wife are the same crimes, if you want to move God, killing your own queen mother may be more sincere!"
Baili Qingchen raised his hand and withdrew all the minions, sat opposite the old queen mother and said with a faint smile, "The queen mother is full of benevolence and morality, and her family and country are full of the world, so that we can make it rain quickly in Xucheng and benefit the people, the queen mother should be very willing, right?" ”
