In the spring of the eleventh year of Dashang, on February 6, Lu Hebei passed away suddenly accompanied by the queen and his sister.

He was still so young, and the oldest of the little children he left behind was just knee-high.

The country of this big businessman and several women in the palace were all left behind by him and left to Lu Yangge to protect.

Gongsun Wanying couldn't accept this reality and fainted at the beginning.

Lu Yangge wiped his tears, and with the help of Cheng's father-in-law, he changed his second brother's clothes, found Chen Xiaohu again, and sent the body out of the capital overnight.

The palace was not mourned, and Chen Xiaohu personally drove to escort Lu Hebei's body to Dongyang County.

The second day coincided with the Great Pilgrimage.

Cheng's father-in-law persuaded Lu Yangge to rest, and stayed up all night, his eyes were blue, and the meeting was still over.

Lu Yangge shook her head, her second brother is so sick, and she still doesn't forget about state affairs and politics, if she is lax, wouldn't she be sorry for the trust of her second brother.

In the court, the civil ministers and the military generals insisted on their own words, one to increase military spending and raise strong soldiers and horses. First, it is necessary to save resources and open up the flow of water, and use more money and grain for disaster relief.

Lu Yangge looked at the people below arguing with red ears with empty eyes, but his mind had already followed Lu Hebei's departure, down the water, and went to Dongyang County.

Her second brother should have arrived in Dongyang County.

Last night, it was Xiaohu who came in and took the second brother's body out in a carriage.

The emperor died of illness, and the queen couldn't accept the blow and fell ill all of a sudden. Chen Luming was still young, and the queen could only hand her over to the queen mother to take care of when she was sick. Even Chen Luxing, who stayed in Renshou Palace, Lu Yangge did not let people take him back to Taiji Palace.

There are two children, which can somewhat make the Queen Mother feel relieved.

And the second brother just died, Lu Yangge always felt that the second brother's heroic soul was still there, and she didn't want to put the child in the palace.

Lu Yangge thought that when the second brother died, she should be the strongest, but she didn't expect that it was the Queen Mother who gritted her teeth and held on.

In the morning, the palace maid in Renshou Palace carried the little prince and sent it, saying that it was ordered by the queen mother, so that the little prince and the emperor could go to court together. Cheng's father-in-law was not at ease, and after asking a few more words, he learned that the queen mother had white hair overnight and looked more than ten years old.

Hearing this, Lu Yangge mourned in his heart.

Her brother died, and she had to endure the pain and go to the early court.

My aunt's three sons died, and she poured all her love and hope into her second brother, who would have expected that this time she would let her aunt send a white-haired person to a black-haired person.

For so many years, it turned out that my aunt had been carrying it hard.

The death of the second brother, for the aunt, she was no less painful than watching her son die in her arms.

Yesterday, in order to keep the palace in chaos, even if the queen mother knew that the second brother had gone, she could only endure her grief and did not come to see him off for the last time.

This is probably because my aunt is grieving, so she will have gray hair overnight.

If he could, Lu Yangge would like to run to Renshou Palace and hug the Queen Mother and cry.

But she can't, now she is not the princess of Dashang, she is the emperor of Dashang.

Her every word and deed, every move, is watched by tens of millions of people, and she can't take a wrong step.

Even if she had just lost her loved one yesterday, today she would sit on this Jinluan Palace, listening to a group of ministers arguing and arguing.

Increase military salaries.

Scold!

Lu Yangge sneered, the border passes are stable, and military salaries are never deducted everywhere, these people want to increase military salaries, but they just want to contribute to their own forces.

When their power grows, she, the emperor, may have no way to take them.

The dynasty of the Great Shang was robbed by Chen Quan, so how many people below are eyeing it and want to snatch a shot from the Chen family.

It's just a pity that now this big merchant has fallen into the hands of their Lu family, even if they do everything they can, Lu Yangge will not let this big businessman finally become an existence that drags down Chen Luxing.

As for what the civil officials said, opening up sources and reducing expenditures, and taking out more money and food to help the people, the starting point is indeed good.

It's just that the person who put forward this is not right-minded, and it is called disaster relief, because he is afraid that when the time comes, the money and grain will fall into his hands, and it will be the people who will suffer.

Even if he can distribute all the money and grain to the people who have suffered from the disaster, who knows that the money and grain were allocated by the emperor.

When the time comes, let him win the hearts of the people, maybe a few years later, this person will have the intention of rebellion.

Or because he paid for him to earn prestige.

"Your Majesty."

Gongsun Xiangye stepped forward and bowed, "I hope Your Majesty will decide." ”

Everyone clasped their fists and shouted in unison: "I hope Your Majesty will decide." ”

There was a "clang" sound.

Lu Yangge on the dragon chair seemed to have just been woken up, and raised his hand to wave the small silver pot that Chen Luxing had put aside and fell to the ground.

This small silver kettle was given to Lu Yangge by Zhou Yang, and later in order to make Chen Luxing, who accompanied her to the court, not starving, she asked the people in the imperial dining room to pour goat's milk and rice soup into the small silver kettle every day.

Mellow goat's milk, sticky rice soup, the little prince can listen and drink while sitting on the dragon chair, and he will not be noticed.

This time, Chen Luxing had just drunk the goat's milk and white fungus soup inside, and put the small silver kettle on the chair, but he was swept to the ground by his father.

Chen Luxing snorted: "Little silver kettle." ”

Cheng's father-in-law on the side hurriedly squatted down and raised his middle finger and gently "shhh

Chen Luxing also realized that he shouldn't make a sound at the moment, so he hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth, and his big eyes were spinning.

He wondered why his father was angry.

The small silver kettle made of silver rolled down the white jade steps all the way down until it reached the front of Gongsun Xiangye before it stopped steadily.

The originally noisy hall fell silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes fell on the silver kettle on the ground first, and then secretly looked at the emperor on the dragon chair.

Everyone speculated in their hearts, is the emperor annoyed?

Who is the emperor annoyed? Is it unwilling to increase military salaries? Still unwilling to help the people?

Lu Yangge sat calmly on the dragon chair, she raised her head slightly, and glanced at the people below.

For a long time, just when everyone didn't dare to take a breath, Lu Yangge got up suddenly, turned around and left without saying a word.

Cheng's father-in-law hurriedly shouted: "Retreat." ”

Bent down and picked up the little prince, and chased him out.

The ministers were left looking at each other, but they were confused for a while, and they didn't understand why the emperor was angry.

When everyone was talking and exiting the hall one by one, Zhou Yang slowly stepped forward, picked up the silver pot on the ground, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it.

Seeing the small table come out, he hurriedly handed over the silver kettle in his hand: "The grandfather of the table is looking for this silver kettle?" ”

"Exactly, thank you General Zhou."

The small table carefully took the silver kettle and held it, turned around and prepared to go to the apse.

Zhou Yang hurriedly raised his voice and asked, "But Your Majesty sent your father-in-law to find this silver kettle." ”

At the foot of the small table, he turned his head and said, "No, it's the little prince." Every day in the court, this silver kettle is filled with some hot water, the little prince loves to drink, this silver kettle can not be lost. ”

Hot water?

Zhou Yang laughed, obviously he smelled the smell of goat's milk and white fungus soup.

However, it wasn't His Majesty who asked the father-in-law to come to find it, which somewhat disappointed Zhou Yang.

It turns out that this silver kettle, the princess gave it to the little prince!

I thought she liked it very much!
