Chapter 407: Scattered
The big court meeting did not discuss a good matter, but three days later, the emperor was decided in the small court meeting.
In the ten years since the founding of the Great Shang Dynasty, in order to resist foreign enemies and prevent civil strife, military salaries have been increased twice.
People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and it is precisely with these two increases in military salaries that some people have tasted the sweetness.
"I am going to go and see the reconstruction after the disaster in person, and as for this spring planting, I also want to personally deliver it to the people."
Lu Yangge's words had just fallen, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs couldn't help but exclaim.
The crowd led by Gongsun Xiangye hurriedly knelt down and persuaded in unison: "Your Majesty, no, no." ”
Gongsun Xiangye said: "Your Majesty, you are the body of a true dragon, how can you be allowed to do such a thing and take such a risk." ”
Zhou Yang also stepped forward and said, "If Your Majesty wants to go, I am willing to escort Your Majesty there." ”
Gongsun Xiangye hurriedly shouted: "Zhou Yang, be cautious." ”
The emperor went out of the palace to deliver clothes and food to the victims, not to mention that it was so chaotic outside, even the emperor's body could not withstand the severe cold.
The winter snow outside hasn't completely melted yet.
"I have made up my mind, and General Zhou will send someone to escort me, so let's disperse."
After speaking, Lu Yangge didn't care about the faces of the courtiers, and got up directly and went back to the palace. However, this time she didn't forget to hold the small silver kettle, and Chen Luxing, who drank the last mouthful of goat's milk seriously.
She's in a bad mood and doesn't want to talk nonsense with people.
I just took this opportunity to go out for a walk, and by the way, I also saw how serious the disaster was outside.
On the fourth day of the new year, she went to Jiangjiaba to celebrate the New Year, in fact, she also wanted to go out to see the people after the snow disaster.
It's a pity that she was mixed up by Chen Luxing and Chen Yuan, she only walked out of Tangyi, a town across the river from the capital, which is much richer than the villages and towns below, and she can't see the real situation after the disaster.
Lu Yangge wanted to leave the palace to see the victims of the disaster.
got the news, not to mention the queen mother who cultivated herself in the palace and ate fasting and chanting Buddha, even the sick queen didn't hold back, and ran to the Taiji Hall wrapped in the cold.
Seeing Gongsun Wanying, who came to the Taiji Hall in a hurry and didn't even bother to take care of her makeup, Lu Yangge's heart softened.
In the past, when the second brother was there, if he didn't summon the queen, Gongsun Wanrong would not easily step into the gate of the Taiji Palace. Even if it comes, it must be dressed up beautifully.
But this time, her illness has not healed, her sideburns are scattered, and she came to the Taiji Hall with a pale face, which shows how anxious she is in her heart.
"Sister...... Your Majesty. ”
The queen hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and saluted, and waited for Gonggong Cheng to lead the little eunuchs to retreat before she hurriedly asked, "I heard that you are going to disaster relief?" ”
"Hmm."
Lu Yangge nodded and beckoned the queen to sit down, "Sister-in-law, don't panic, drink some tea to warm up first." ”
"What kind of tea to drink, do you know how terrible it is for the victims?"
Gongsun Wanying was in a hurry, and regardless of whether it was suitable or not, she sat down next to Lu Yangge and counted it down.
"I'm telling you, I've seen people who can kill people for half a steamed bun. There are still those who dare to give up their children in order to survive. If you go, just in case...... What should my children and I do if we encounter any danger? ”
As she spoke, Gongsun Wanying couldn't help crying.
She is the daughter of the prime minister's house, and she will give porridge and food with her mother every winter, and she doesn't know anything.
The emperor died, her husband, and her child's father were gone, but she didn't dare to cry loudly.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace thought that she had come to the emperor to be angry and fell ill.
didn't know that she would rather be angry with the emperor than let him go so early, leaving them orphans and widows.
Now, in front of Lu Yangge, she couldn't hold back anymore and vented all the pain in her heart.
Outside the hall, Cheng's father-in-law heard a faint cry from inside, and his face changed slightly.
After thinking about it, he asked the little eunuchs at the door to retreat.
And he himself consciously stayed away from the temple door, so far that no matter how sharp his ears were, he could not hear the movement inside.
The princess and queen are so pitiful, and the most pitiful is the queen mother.
Thinking of the Queen Mother's white hair, Cheng Fangyuan's heart was sour and astringent.
He still remembers the appearance of the Queen Mother when she was young, which can be described as unparalleled in beauty.
Who would have thought that the beautiful and kind-hearted girl would become the queen mother of a country, and she would lose her children because her husband won the country.
Now, there is really only a group of orphans and widows left in this palace.
If he didn't stand up again, he didn't know who would be able to bully this group of helpless women and children.
This, he categorically will not allow.
Cheng Fangyuan sighed slightly, thinking of the queen's cry again.
The queen must have come this time because the emperor said that he was going to disaster relief, and the queen was not at ease.
yes, who can rest assured.
Even he was also not at ease, and he was thinking about whether to go to the Queen Mother to talk to him and let the Queen Mother come forward to stop him.
But as soon as the queen cried just now, Cheng's father-in-law woke up again instantly.
The current emperor is not the emperor of the past, she is not only in good health, but also smart in her brain. If the emperor wants to go to disaster relief, she must have her purpose.
If you stop it, won't you disappoint the emperor.
Otherwise, he will take some people to protect the emperor out of the palace, as long as he is here, he will never let the bad guys get close to the emperor by half a step.
When the Queen Mother sent someone over, Cheng Gongcheng stood in a daze more than ten steps from the palace gate.
The little palace maid Yu'e sent the little prince over in the morning, the little girl who talked a lot.
She saw Gonggong Cheng standing outside the main hall, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Gonggong Cheng, the Queen Mother sent a slave to invite the emperor to sit in the Taiji Palace." ”
"Now?"
Cheng's father-in-law frowned in embarrassment, "Now the emperor and the queen are talking inside, why don't you go back and talk to the queen mother and ask her to wait." ”
This was said by any eunuch in the palace, and Yu'e could slap him with a big-eared scraper.
The Queen Mother wants to see the emperor, and there are still people who dare to call the Queen Mother and so on.
However, this person was replaced by the emperor's henchman and became a father-in-law, so it is another matter, after all, this father-in-law was the queen mother's person back then.
Yu'e was afraid that Father-in-law Cheng would misunderstand the meaning of her coming, so she hurriedly explained: "Father-in-law Cheng, the slave and maid will not hide it from you, the Queen Mother heard the rumors, saying that the emperor wanted to go out of the palace in person to relieve the disaster, so she asked the slave and maid to invite the emperor." Since the queen mother is also there, then you should go in and say goodbye to the father-in-law, and say that the queen mother asks Her Majesty and the queen mother to go to Renshou Palace to sit together. ”
"That ......"
Cheng Fangyuan hesitated for a moment before he said, "Then the miscellaneous family will go in and ask, Miss Yu'e is still waiting outside." ”
Hearing that the Queen Mother met, Lu Yangge and Gongsun Wanying hurriedly got up to clean their hands and wipe their faces, and Gongsun Wanying also made up makeup here for the emperor by the way.
In the end, it's not very good-looking to cry, and if you don't make up makeup, I'm afraid that she won't have a face.
