"With what you say, it is worth peeling the skin and cutting the flesh, and the bones are broken." Xiao Huayong's heart was extremely excited, and he couldn't help but pull her into his arms and hug her tightly.

He is not afraid of anything, he is not afraid of her indifference, he is not afraid of her rational determination, he is not afraid that she weighs the gains and losses, but he is afraid that she will be indifferent, or he will choose to escape when he is moved.

Fortunately, fortunately, she can feel his affection, and she is also a bold and frank person, she does not deny or escape when she feels it. This is already a great response for him, allowing him to continue to move forward bravely, without fear of hardship.

The autumn leaves begin to fall, the bright lotus is dazzling, and the flowers and leaves are full of shadows and shadows.

The next morning was the court meeting, even Xiao Huayong was not absent, except for some step-by-step things, the first is the drought in Dengzhou, the civil unrest in Dengzhou was simply because the people received food, so the civil unrest was easily quelled, but this was temporary.

Anyone can see that if it doesn't rain in Dengzhou, the civil unrest will break out again sooner or later, and it will not be easy to calm down next time, and the imperial court will not have so much food to appease the people again.

Emperor Youning and the courtiers discussed for a long time, most of them still advocated private grain raising, which had to be paid by the treasury, and naturally there were other courtiers who proposed that His Majesty take the lead and take them to raise donations, so that they could encourage the rich squires from all over the world, and accumulate a lot, even if it has not rained in Dengzhou this year, it can also help the people tide over the difficulties, and the tax revenue from all over the country will come up in the coming year, and the treasury will naturally be full.

These proposals naturally won the support and approval of most of the courtiers, and many people raised objections, and there were few people who organized fund-raising in various places, and few people filled their private pockets from them, and used the disaster to use the name of His Majesty to squeeze the rich and rich of the squire.

Such a precedent was not absent from the previous dynasty or even earlier, several parties were arguing, Emperor Youning watched expressionlessly throughout the whole process, and when they were enough to compete with each other, Liu Sanzhi announced his retirement from the dynasty, Liu Sanzhi's voice just fell, and Xiao Changqing, the king of letters, stood up: "Your Majesty, about the drought in Dengzhou, there is something to do." ”

Emperor Youning, who was about to get up, sat back again when he heard this: "You say." ”

"His Majesty Taizong's affairs in the world, there is also a great drought from the sky, and after the amnesty of the harem, there will be rain from the sky." Xiao Changqing walked to the middle and bowed and said, "I don't know if I thought about it at night last night, and I dreamed of being instructed by a master, if Your Majesty follows His Majesty's example, it may be able to exchange for a rain in Dengzhou." ”

Xiao Changqing's words were like a drop of water splashing into the oil pot, crackling and exploding instantly, and the courtiers of the entire hall looked at Xiao Changqing with a hellish expression.

Amnesty harem, do you know what he will say again?

At this juncture, once the harem is amnestied, no matter who is released, or who is recorded after release, it is impossible to avoid Shen Xihe, the person who has already obtained the command to take charge of the palace, with Shen Xihe's skill and strength, who can bury her own people under her nose? In this way, wouldn't the entire harem fall into the hands of Shen Xihe?

Shen Xihe had just taken over the power of the harem from Xiao Changqing's biological mother, and Xiao Changqing turned his head to help Shen Xihe!

Not just a gang, but a gang through and through!

Some people who were not right-minded couldn't help but sweep their strange eyes to Xiao Huayong, who was the only one sitting except for His Majesty, wondering in their hearts that they had never heard of King Xin and the crown princess getting close in the past, if it weren't for the confusion of women, how could King Xin be such a shrewd person at this time, openly fall to Shen Xihe?

"Amnesty harem, rain from the sky, how can you be sure?" Emperor Youning's face turned cold.

In Shen Xihe's hands, he ate the northwest dark pile one after another, and the An family was given two big losses, Emperor Youning didn't want to hear about Shen Xihe at this time, and even someone was close to the East Palace, and he was already very jealous of Shen Xihe in his heart.

The forces of the harem have formed a balance, he has been in charge of the world for so many years, the Rong family has always won his heart, and there is no deception to him, and the harem has been well managed over the years, although he can't find out everyone, but most of the people he also knows who is buried in the Rong family's heart, and some uncertainty can also have a rough guess.

Really let Shen Xihe clean it up, he won't dare to enter the harem in the future!

This time in the palace, Shen Xihe was able to harm the An family so smoothly, it was because he only came to the palace once in a few years, and the people in the palace were not under control, so Shen Xihe took advantage of the loophole, how could he make the harem become the second palace?

"Your Majesty, the harem has not been released for 20 years since His Majesty ascended the throne, and the annual selection has not been interrupted, and the yin and qi in the palace have been stagnant, just like the great drought when His Majesty Taizong was in power a hundred years ago, although he can't be sure, but he also feels that the wisdom of the ancestors cannot be humiliated, and the people who let the palace go out of the palace are also accumulating merit, why not give it a try?" Xiao Changqing is reasonable.

But it was refuted by the ministers, especially the big family, who had their people in the palace, and this amnesty harem directly affected their interests, and they didn't want to be deaf and blind to the things in the palace in the future.

"Do you mean to see the courtiers?" Emperor Youning looked at Xiao Changqing.

"Your Majesty, this move is selfless, just for Your Majesty to share worries and seek benefits for the suffering people." Xiao Changqing lifted his robe and knelt down, straightening his back, "Please adopt it, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Youning couldn't guess what medicine Xiao Changqing was selling in the gourd for a while, after all, the existing evidence of the Dengzhou civil unrest seemed to be secretly fueled by his good son, but he didn't have enough evidence, so he didn't make a fuss.

I didn't expect Xiao Changqing to sing him another play to solve problems today, and he leaked the news that the eunuch predicted a rainy day, which caused the anger of the people, except for letting Lao Bayu destroy the accident, it was just to discredit him.

The people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic behind their backs, turn their heads and try their best to be anxious about the people's anxieties, is this a hurry to make up for it when they know that their deeds have been revealed, or is there another hidden story behind the civil unrest in Dengzhou?

"Amnesty harem, the matter is big, and it can't be arbitrary." Emperor Youning left this sentence, turned around and left.

After the courtiers also sent off His Majesty, they dispersed one after another, and no one thought that Xiao Changqing walked out of the hall and knelt down again: "I beg Your Majesty to give amnesty to the harem for the people of Dengzhou." ”

The door was closed, and no one responded, but Xiao Changqing's face did not change, and he knelt straight like a green pine.

"Do you need to, let's add a fire to Dengzhou?" Shen Xihe asked after Xiao Huayong came back.

Xiao Huayong smiled: "Don't bother the two masters, since the fifth child takes over this matter, it will naturally be done." ”

Just as Xiao Changqing spread the news of the eunuch in Dengzhou, it is easy to spread his words in the court today, and he only needs to fan the flames a little, and the people will naturally jointly ask for their lives when they hear that there will be rain in the harem of amnesty.

The harem belongs to the emperor, and if the emperor does not pardon the harem, it is for the sake of pleasure and disregards the life and death of the people.
