After all, paper can't contain fire.

The next day, Pei Yao used the momentum of thunder to thoroughly investigate the case of Lanzhou pirates robbing money and hurting people in the past three years.

When the emperor travels, he naturally won't just bring ordinary guards to protect him, and there are naturally people in the accompanying team who can investigate the case.

In addition, Pei Yao sent his cronies to visit the people to collect more information.

In the past few days, the facts are in front of us, and the trade at sea has indeed made the economy of coastal states such as Lanzhou more prosperous, but pirates and pirates have also been rampant in recent years, and all kinds of vicious robbery incidents have emerged one after another, and pirates are rampant.

What's even more serious is that some local unemployed vagrants and ruffians saw the huge profits of being pirates, and they all joined in one after another to make this windfall.

Moreover, the pirates composed of the Daqi people are several times more rampant than the pirates of overseas states and foreign countries.

Nowadays, the merchants of the open sea do not dare to come to Daqi to trade easily, and it is the caravan of Daqi who risks many dangers to go to sea to trade in other people's land, and then bring back the goods.

Needless to say, if this situation continues, it will definitely seriously affect the commerce and trade in the coastal areas, as well as the safety of the people's lives, and must be properly rectified.

Pei Yao has never been an emperor who is afraid of things, and his temperament is also hard, he defeated the Shangyang Kingdom back then, occupied the entire north, and doubled the territory of Daqi, he has never been afraid, and naturally he will not let the pirates go anywhere.

Therefore, the original leisure activity of experiencing the maritime trade culture has become the political activity of rectifying the officialdom of Lanzhou and purging the coastal bandits.

In this way, Fang Yu naturally couldn't intervene.

"This is really, busy in Kyoto, and even more busy when I come out, but I'm left as an idler."

"Our emperor is Mingjun, there is such a big hidden danger here, naturally it can't be left alone, if Niangniang feels bored, the slaves and maids accompany Niangniang to go out for a walk, the emperor also ordered it early in the morning, don't let Niangniang be stuffy, I have only arranged a team of guards of the Royal Forest Army, and sent it with Niangniang." Yan Wei comforted.

Fang Yu played with the jade-handled fan, and there was a fan with no match, looking out the window.

"Now I'm afraid of chaos outside, I'm going out, in case something happens, I don't have to worry the emperor, let's stay in the courtyard honestly."

At this time, you can't add to the chaos.

Qingrong smiled, "Also, Niangniang's safety is more important." ”

As he spoke, he poured a bowl of sour plum soup and handed it over.

"But according to the slave maid, if the mother is bored, it is better to call the family members of the local officials in Lanzhou, come to the courtyard to talk with them, make some tea parties, poetry meetings, flower arrangements and incense, and pass the time."

Hearing this suggestion, the fan in Fang Yu's hand paused slightly, as if he had thought of something, and sat up straight with a smile.

"It's also a good pastime, I'll talk to the emperor in the evening."

At night, Pei Yao was busy until late before returning.

When I entered the house, I saw that Fang Yu hadn't slept yet, sitting under the lamp and reading.

"Look carefully, why don't you sleep?" Pei Yao's voice was gentle.

Fang Yu put down the book in his hand, stood up and waited for him to take off his coat, "Wait for the emperor, people are free, and there are fewer feelings, and the emperor also said that the concubine, don't you also pick up the lights and be busy until so late." ”

"I wanted to take you here to relax, but I didn't expect to encounter this bad thing, I can't ignore it." Pei Yao sighed, slightly irritable between his eyebrows.

"This pirate matter is related to the people's livelihood, and it is naturally a major matter, and the emperor is dedicated to the people, which is as it should be." Fang Yu comforted, "The concubine is just distressed by the emperor." ”

As he spoke, he instructed the maids to fetch water to wipe Pei Yao's face.

And continued, "The concubine thinks, being idle is also idle, it is better to hold a tea party, invite the ladies on the Lanzhou border, come to a small gathering, talk, relieve boredom, and say that you can still get some news, and it can be regarded as helping the emperor a little, and these female relatives can't say something they don't know on the surface." ”

Hearing her say this, Pei Yao thought for a moment and nodded.

"It's a way, just right, I see that those people also want to test my mind, so give them a chance."

The two looked at each other and smiled, both understanding each other's thoughts.

Therefore, this day, Fang Yu called the lady in charge of this courtyard and asked her a lot about the inner houses of the dignitaries in Lanzhou City.

After some understanding, he turned his head and asked people to post to the outside world.

The ladies of each province received invitations from the imperial concubines, and they also had different thoughts for a while.

But no matter what, this invitation was something they couldn't refuse, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all appeared at the banquet on time the next day.

I thought that the imperial concubine Niangniang, who had been favored for many years and gave birth to the crown prince, would be a graceful, luxurious, calm and unfathomable woman, but I didn't expect that as soon as we met, everyone found that the imperial concubine seemed to be very approachable.

Fang Yu wore a royal blue palace dress today, combed a lotus bun, and wore a pearl white jade head, elegant and gentle, but also noble.

When he came out holding the maid's hand, he had a light smile on his face, and he was very affinity.

It's like the hospitable housewife of an ordinary rich and noble person.

"Hurry up, everyone, the refreshments are ready, ladies and gentlemen, sit down."

Fang Yu smiled and waved his hand, greeting him gently.

After all the ladies sat down, they took the initiative again.

"This palace also loves to drink tea, this time I came out, brought a lot of tea from the palace, thinking that since this is the palace to do the east, then take it out for the ladies to taste, I want to come to Lanzhou local tea, the taste is different, I don't know if the ladies are used to drinking it."

"The tea that Niangniang brought from the palace is naturally the best, and the tea that the courtiers and other Suri drinks is definitely not comparable.

Someone at the bottom quickly picked up the conversation.

Corresponding to the information he knew in his heart, as well as the sitting order that had been arranged a long time ago, Fang Yu recognized this as the wife of Zhizhou Chen Zhili.

"This palace listened to the people below, Mrs. Chen is also a tea lover, Mrs. should have a good taste today, and these snacks are also brought from Kyoto, the craftsmanship of the imperial chef, with this tea to taste, there is a different flavor."

Fang Yu said with a smile as if he was extremely familiar with her.

Seeing that she was recognized at a glance, Mrs. Chen's gaze changed slightly, and she immediately said kind words with great enthusiasm.

With the two of them warming up, other ladies also joined in.

Fang Yu is not good at showing, and she talks to everyone with a gentle and gentle chatter, but she really looks like a boring favorite concubine, pulling a group of ladies to relieve her boredom, so after a long time, it really makes many people less vigilant.

When the banquet was over and everyone dispersed, the affinity on Fang Yu's face was swept away, showing a bit of the superior's fierceness.

"Let's go, it's really rewarding today." (End of chapter)
