Like Hu Yong said, these are the real victims, and they are the majority.

Jia Cong said: "These real disaster victims, you can let them work for relief, you can let them dredge rivers and canals, or reclaim wasteland, we just need to take care of them to eat and drink, isn't this all free labor?"

The rest of the old and weak women and children can let them help cook, and also take care of their food and drink, so that those black-hearted businessmen will not have a chance to take advantage of the loopholes.

In order to calm down the disaster as soon as possible, in addition to the state's grain transportation team, it is also possible to mobilize businessmen and large households in the interior to participate in it.

If you have the ability, you can also buy some food to sell in the past, that is, you can relieve the disaster and make money, and you can also recruit some maids, concubines, servants, and family members to relieve the pressure of the country, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone, and it can be regarded as serving the country. ”

After listening to Jia Cong's words, there were many ministers who were ready to move.

After all, transporting grain to the disaster area for sale has several times the profit, and it is false to say that it is not tempting.

Instead of letting others reap the benefits, Jia Cong's method is better, and he can also make some money to spend openly.

Jia Cong's method is still in favor of many people.

But those who are involved in disaster relief are not too happy.

If they do, they won't have anything to gain.

Emperor Longqing thought about it and was a little undecided.

Although it sounds like that, it's not that simple to do.

looked at Hu Yong and said, "Hu Aiqing, what do you think of Ning Guogong's idea?" Is it possible? ”

Hu Yong said: "Your Majesty, Ning Guogong's method sounds good, it is not easy to really do, you have to try it to know, anyway, there is a shortage of grain in the disaster area, and a large amount of grain is transported in, which is indeed a good thing, there is no shortage of food, and the price will be reduced." ”

Emperor Longqing said: "Your cabinet and Song Aiqing, you have to discuss it carefully, work out a practical method to implement it as soon as possible, the victims over there can't wait." ”

"The ministers obey."

······

As soon as Jia Cong arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped by a small eunuch.

The little eunuch said in a low voice: "Ning Guogong, Gonggong Dai is looking for you, please come with me." ”

Jia Cong nodded and followed him to a side hall.

After a while, Dai Quan rushed over.

"Ning Guogong, Xia Shouzhong is gone, it's just that Concubine Zhou mentioned this matter in front of His Majesty again, obviously to complain to you, you better be more careful in the future, don't be too reckless.

Although Your Majesty does not blame you, this kind of thing will also leave a bad impression in Your Majesty's heart, I hope Your Majesty can forget Xia Shouzhong, and this matter will pass, I am afraid that someone will mention it again. ”

This Zhou Guifei actually didn't stop, which was a bit excessive.

Is it really like Lao Tzu is a vegetarian? It's really a toast and don't eat and drink.

As far as her small actions are concerned, at most, they will affect Emperor Longqing's opinion of herself, and she will really be helpless to herself.

Although he is not good for their mother and son, it is no problem to find some trouble for her family.

It seems that they are going to find an opportunity to surprise their mother and son.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong said: "Thank you Manager Dai for reminding me, I will be careful in the future, if there is anything about me in the palace, please remind me in time, you can rest assured, as long as I am here, Your Majesty will be able to protect you more than a hundred years later." ”

When Dai Quan heard this, he smiled and said: "Ning Guogong, our family can remember your words, and our family will rely on Ning Guogong to protect them in their old age." ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Manager Dai, we have known each other for many years, and you should know that I am definitely very generous to my own people, so you can relax." ”

Dai Quan nodded, he was still very relieved about Jia Cong.

Not only is he loyal to His Majesty, but he is also surprisingly good to his family, and even His Majesty praises him as a loyal and filial person.

Dai Quan said: "Ning Guogong, our family is still on duty, we can't leave for too long, so I'll go back first, I won't send you this time, you are more familiar with the palace, you can go out of the palace by yourself." ”

Jia Cong said: "Mr. Dai, you can get busy, I'll just leave by myself." ”

Dai Quan nodded and left in a hurry.

He didn't go out with Jia Cong, and the fact that the two met alone can't be known.

The eunuchs in the palace secretly befriended the foreign ministers, it was a big crime, once it was discovered, it would be over, and His Majesty would not allow this kind of thing to happen.

When the time comes, it will be difficult to survive, so you have to be cautious.

Fortunately, Jia Cong was often summoned by Emperor Longqing, and he went in and out of the palace more frequently.

Dai Quan returned to the outside of the imperial study and exchanged a few words with the little eunuch there, knowing that His Majesty was not looking for him, so he was relieved.

As His Majesty's chief butler, he is in charge of all parts of the palace, and he can be described as powerful.

Even if some concubines want to see His Majesty, they must go through themselves first, and no matter where they go, others will give them some face.

Although Jia Cong has some skills and is a good person, he has not yet reached the point where he has taken the initiative to form an alliance with him.

The reason why it has come to this point.

One is because the second prince has murderous intentions towards himself, and he is the one with the most hope of ascending to the throne, once the second prince is put on the throne, he will definitely not end well.

Not only that, but the wealth I have accumulated over the years cannot be saved, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to even protect my life.

There is also one most important reason, that is, His Majesty's body has collapsed, and I am afraid it will not last long.

Once His Majesty returns to heaven, he will have no backstage, and the outcome is difficult to predict.

This is also the main reason why he is in a hurry to form an alliance with Jia Cong.

Jia Cong didn't know about this matter, few people knew about it, and even Longqing himself didn't know it very well.

The imperial doctor didn't dare to tell the truth to His Majesty, for fear that he would be beheaded in a fit of rage.

However, they did not dare to conceal Dai Quan, lest they be beaten upside down and become a scapegoat for others to get angry.

Dai Quan did not enter the imperial study and disturbed Emperor Longqing.

Instead, he sat down outside and thought about his own way back.

Jia Cong, without a doubt, is trustworthy, and the relationship between the two has always been good.

However, in order to be more secure, it is still necessary to deepen the connection between the two.

Thinking of this, Dai Quan couldn't help but secretly make a decision.

······

After Dai Quan left for a while, Jia Cong saw that there was no one around, so he left the side hall and walked outside the palace.

It's just that he just walked out a short distance when he met a little eunuch and stopped himself again.

"Villain, I've seen Ning Guogong."

Jia Cong stopped, looked at the little eunuch in front of him with a puzzled expression.

Although he often comes to the palace, this little eunuch doesn't know him, and he shouldn't be a person from His Majesty's side.

In this palace, there are at least thousands of palace maids and eunuchs, and it is normal for them not to realize it, but this suddenly stopped them, and they don't know what they are talking about? I don't know who it is.

Jia Cong said suspiciously: "This father-in-law, please forgive this father-in-law for being clumsy, I don't know which noble person my father-in-law is on an errand by?" ”

The little eunuch said: "Ning Guogong, it's normal that you don't know the little one, the little one has been on an errand by the queen's side, the queen mother summoned Ning Guogong, please come with the little one." ”

Summoned by the Queen? There should be no intersection between himself and the queen.

What does the queen want to do when she summons one of her ministers? Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will be suspicious if you find out?

Besides, he and the queen are also on the same side, that is, the last time I beat Xia Shouzhong, I saw the queen once, not twice.

The two have no friendship, so there shouldn't be any intersection, is it that Zhou Guifei wants to calculate herself?

In this palace, a foreign minister can't just break in.

Otherwise, if you go to a place you shouldn't go and see things you shouldn't see, you won't be able to tell.

In case Zhou Guifei calculated herself and led herself to a place where she shouldn't go, it would be troublesome.

Seeing that Jia Cong didn't follow, the little eunuch turned his head and said, "Ning Guogong, the queen mother is still waiting for you, let's go quickly." ”

Jia Cong said: "It's really the queen looking for me, you didn't lie to me, right?" ”

The little eunuch said: "Ning Guogong, the little one doesn't dare to lie to you, it's really the queen's mother who summoned you." ”

Jia Cong thought about it, it was unlikely that he could deceive himself, and raised his legs to follow.

After a while, the two came to Cining Palace, and Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief.

Last time, I was in Cining Palace, and I met the queen, and this is indeed the queen's palace.

The little eunuch said: "Ning Guogong, the queen mother is waiting for you inside, you can go in by yourself." ”

Jia Cong nodded and walked directly into Cining Palace.

It's different from the last time I came, the last time Emperor Longqing was here, the house was full of palace maids and eunuchs waiting, today, this hall is quiet, and there is no one.

Jia Cong wondered a little in his heart, how could it be deserted here at noon?

Turning a screen, a fragrance of roses rushed towards him, Jia Cong couldn't help but take a deep breath, this woman's palace is different.

】

Turning a screen again, the scene in front of him made Jia Cong directly stunned.

I saw a beautiful woman, bathing.

This woman is in her twenties, handsome, and her upper body is exposed, and she was shown by Jia Cong.

This woman is not a queen, she is much younger than the queen, who is this? How did it end up here?

Jia Cong had a bad feeling in his heart, if he couldn't get it, he was really calculated, this woman was probably His Majesty's concubine, so while she didn't see herself, she should withdraw quickly.

This is already a place of right and wrong, and it is really not suitable to stay for a long time.

Jia Cong was just about to leave quietly when the woman heard footsteps and looked up.

When he saw Jia Cong, his eyes widened in surprise, and he was about to scream when he opened his mouth.

If this is called out and provokes someone, it will really be over, this thing is not clear at all, and I guess no one will listen to your explanation.

Jia Cong didn't want to die, and she must not be allowed to shout.

Jia Cong quickly pounced and reached out to cover her mouth.

"Woo, woo······"

Fortunately, Jia Cong's speed was fast enough and he covered her mouth in time to prevent her from shouting.

But now this situation makes Jia Cong not know how to deal with it.

It is said that you should leave quickly, leave the place of right and wrong.

But if she just left, the woman shouted again, and she couldn't run at all.

Who is this woman? Looking at the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but look carefully.

The woman was covered by Jia Cong's mouth and looked at him with a frightened expression.

I knocked over the five-flavor bottle in my heart, how could he come here? I also happened to see myself bathing.

I was frightened just now, but fortunately he covered his mouth and didn't shout out, otherwise he would have been found out and he would have been finished.

Thinking of how naked he was now, the man was still looking at himself, his face turned red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

But the man covered his mouth, held his head, and couldn't shrink into the bucket if he wanted to, so he could only be admired.

Seeing the woman's appearance, Jia Cong also felt that something was wrong.

He whispered in her ear: "If you don't shout, I'll let go of my hand, I don't know who you are, once you shout out and someone finds out, I will be unlucky, you don't think it's much better, if you agree, just nod your head, and I'll let you go." ”

The woman hesitated for a moment, feeling that Jia Cong's words also made some sense, it was already like this, and there was no other way.

You can't just keep two people in a stalemate, then sooner or later someone will find out.

Thinking of this, the woman nodded.

Jia Cong saw that she agreed, and slowly let go of her hand.

However, the hand did not go too far to prevent her from speaking, but it was good to cover it again.

The woman seemed to understand what Jia Cong meant, and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't shout, and I don't want people to see it, you are with me, you are Ning Guogong, why did you come here." ”

This woman spoke softly, very nicely, I didn't expect her to know herself.

Jia Cong said: "You know me? Who are you? ”

The woman nodded and said, "Well, you often come to the palace, I have seen you from afar a few times, and after listening to the palace maids around me, I know that you are the Duke of Ning Guo, and I am Your Majesty's concubine Concubine Chen." ”

Jia Cong said: "I was led over by a little eunuch, he said that the queen mother summoned me, I just came, isn't this the place where the queen mother lives?" How did you bathe here? ”

Concubine Chen blinked, and was about to speak when she heard footsteps outside.

Jia Cong's face changed, his heart was broken, and he was caught now.

I looked around, and there was no place to hide, so what could I do?

looked at Concubine Chen and asked: "Is there a place for me to hide, if it is discovered, we are all finished, I guess this may be a trap, specially aimed at me, if you run into it, you will be unlucky." ”

Concubine Chen was also a little anxious, looked around and said: "You can't hide people here, even if you barely hide, you will be discovered, how is this good, you can be killed now." ”

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, even Jia Cong was a little anxious.

The eyes couldn't help but shoot a dangerous light, and the big deal was that the fish would die and the net would be broken, and the murder would be extinguished.

Concubine Chen looked down at the rose petals floating on the bath bucket, and she had an idea, and said: "Come to the bath tub quickly, there are petals to cover it, others can't find it, I won't call you, don't come out." ”
