The sky will be bright, and the lights of Deqing Palace are about to go out.

Jiang Churan pushed away the twists and turns of the imperial case, leaned on the chaise longue tiredly, and did not sleep all night. Yun Zhi walked up behind her lightly and pressed her head lightly with his fingertips.

Yun Zhi's voice was soft: "Your Majesty, take a break, slave staring at the jade leak." ”

Jiang Churan squinted his eyes and said "um", and said, "As soon as I go to court, let Changming follow me, and Yun Niang will also rest for a while." ”

Yun Zhi still moved softly, did not answer, and after a while, he heard the soothing breathing of the little emperor, and Yun Zhi saw that Jiang Churan was asleep, so he went to the inner hall to get a blanket and draped it over her.

Yun Zhi looked at Jiang Churan who was asleep, her face was full of tiredness, and she sighed lightly in her heart: The girl of the folk is at the age of carefree at this time, and her little majesty has already carried the people on her shoulders, 'diligent in political affairs, and the moon forgets tiredness' is all nonsense, how can you not be tired?

At two o'clock, the sky is bright, and Mao Zheng should go to court.

A ray of sunlight shone on the porcelain clock in the Deqing Palace, and then passed through the carved window frame, the lamp went out, and the hall gradually brightened.

Yun Zhi saw that the hour was almost up, and she stepped forward and called the emperor softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up." ”

Jiang Churan slept lightly, she sat up slowly, and let Yun Zhi put the official clothes she took from the clothes on her body, the gold thread hook on the dark clothes was embroidered with two dragons and two phoenixes, and the mouth was full of beads, and the nine-chain beads hanging from the waist around the ring were hidden under the gown, and the big belt was tied with a ribbon made of six-colored brocade, wearing a dragon pattern white jade.

After some washing, the maid of the palace who combed her hair retreated, Yun Zhi helped Jiang Churan to get up from the jade platform, she presented the jade bone dice to the little emperor, Jiang Churan took it and played with it in her hand, and said to Yun Zhi: "Yun Niang stay, let Changming follow me." ”

"Yes." Yun Zhi responded, "Slave go to the Imperial Doctor's Department and let Imperial Doctor Xu cook a bowl of calming decoction?" ”

"Hmm." Jiang Churan nodded.

The bell rang outside the noon gate, and the civil and military officials waiting at the east gate began to rush in, Yao Pu was the head of the civil official queue, his face was faintly melancholy, and the secret report from the palace said: The emperor has not slept all night.

When the hundred officials passed the white marble steps and stepped into the Jinluan Palace, Jiang Churan had just come down from the soft sedan chair, and the palace maid who was accompanying her knelt down to straighten her clothes, and then she raised her feet and walked in, and the ministers below all bowed down and lowered their heads, and there was silence above the hall, and only the crisp jade crushing sound from the collision of the twelve drooping crowns on the crown when Jiang Churan walked could be heard.

"Ministers and others meet Your Majesty, long live our emperor."

"Aiqing is flat."

Zhao Yuke said: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Yao Pu walking out, with three ribbons in front of the gray knees, wearing Shan Yuanyu. He held the jade wat board in his hand, Jiang Churan's gaze fell on his hand, the finger was firmly on his finger, and the blood-colored red jade was glowing, increasing a little demonic.

"Exactly."

"This year, none of the flood control projects in the south have collapsed, the affected areas have been greatly reduced, and only a few low-lying villages in the mountains have been washed away by the flash floods."

Jiang Churan had a rare look of relief on her face, and she said approvingly: "Yao Xiang has done a good job in supervising the flood control in the south, and the relief and reconstruction of individual areas should be taken care of by the local governors. ”

Hearing Yao Pu's report on the floods in the south, Shen Bingxin, the head of the household department, also walked out, and her tone was sharp: "The minister has a book." ”

"Quasi-play."

"Back to Your Majesty, as the prime minister said, the losses caused by the floods in the south this year are much less than in previous years, but there is no shortage of requests for silver relief approved by the local authorities.

Jiang Churan played with the hand of the jade bone dice, she bit the words "corrupt officials and corrupt officials", and everyone in the court was shocked.

"Shen Aiqing is reasonable, when I was the prince and the supervisor of the country, I felt that the flood in the south of the Yangtze River was so difficult, and the silver taken from the treasury was flicked again and again, no matter how you look at it, it can block the embankment, but it still can't fill the stomachs of some people." Jiang Churan seemed to glance down casually, but his gaze stopped at Du Tianwei.

She changed her words: "So...... For the thorough investigation of the corruption of the bank, I don't know what good candidates Zhong Aiqing recommends? ”

Mu Yizhu was about to go out to rank, Jiang Churan glanced at her, and the meaning of that look was obvious: go back.

She paused and stood back obediently, although she didn't understand why, but she listened to Jiang Churan.

No one has come forward to speak, probably because it's not a good job.

"Deputy Zhang Yushi." Jiang Churan suddenly called Zhang Yihe.

"The minister is here."

"You supervise hundreds of officials, who do you think is better to hand over this matter to?"

As soon as the emperor said this, Zhang Zhihe suddenly felt several eyes pressed on his body, some of which were full of fear, Zhang Yaohe sneered in his heart: Those who rode the wall are now afraid, why don't they want to think about today when they rush to Xu's house.

But now is not the time, he thought for a while and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers and the hundred officials only look at the dirt, if the ministers are innocent or Your Majesty's eyes are bright, the ministers can't say." ”

Jiang Churan was not interested in his sycophants, and he didn't expect him to say anything ugly: "Zhang Qing, step down." ”

"In my opinion, it's better for Master Xu of Fengming Pavilion to take this position."

Li Yao heard the emperor say this, he was a little anxious, it was very likely that he would not be able to return to Beijing if he went to the south, and the emperor must still have a grudge against the book, he just wanted to come out to intercede, and saw that Xu Mu had already stood up and said: "The minister accepts the order." ”

Li Zhengbang hurriedly grabbed him, lowered his voice and said, "Rebel, settle down." ”

Li Yao was helpless, lost his strength, and stood there decadently.

……

"Retreat."

……

Department of the Imperial Physician.

Yun Zhi walked into the hall, and a little palace maid stepped forward to salute: "Aunt Yun." ”

Yun Zhi nodded at her: "What about Imperial Doctor Xu?" ”

"Back to my aunt, Imperial Physician Xu is discussing medical skills with Gu Lao, but do you want the slave to report it?"

"Well, there you go." The palace maid didn't dare to slack off, and walked quickly into the hall.

After a while, I saw a handsome man dressed in white and with a small crown walking out, and when he saw Yun Zhi, he gave a gentle salute: "Neglect my aunt." ”

Yun Zhi also returned the salute: "Second Prince Xu is a slave." ”

"I also bother to ask the second prince to boil a bowl of soothing decoction for His Majesty."

Xu Jichen nodded, took Yun Zhi into the medicine hall, he tied up his sleeves, took ginseng, stone lotus meat, wheat winter, licorice, lotus whiskers and gourd seeds and put them in a casserole and boiled with water.

"Your Majesty is young, so you still have to drink less of these decoctions." Xu Jichen talked to Yun Zhi while looking at the fire.

"Which of those major family and country affairs can be delayed?"

Xu Jichen stopped talking, the emperor's suffering was not something he could understand, so he could only make the medicine sweeter, not bitter.

Yun Zhi asked, "Lord Xu and Gu Lao are very familiar?" ”

"It's not really, Gu Lao is very interested in medical skills, and discussing with him is very helpful to improve my medical skills."

mentioned that Xu Jichen was interested in something, like turning on a switch, so he kept talking: "Gu Lao is very interested in incurable diseases, and he has solved a lot. "Gu Lao knows a lot of medicinal materials, but there are not many medicinal materials in the palace, so he has to go west to purchase them in a caravan"......

Yun Zhi listened from the sidelines, did not answer, and nodded from time to time.

About three sticks of incense, Xu Jichen stopped talking, and he poured the medicine into the jade bowl: "Auntie, it's okay." ”

Yun Zhi took it carefully: "There is Lao Xu Tai Doctor." ”

After sending the people out, Xu Jichen returned to the medicine hall, poured out the medicine residue, sealed it with a silk cloth, and put it into a small cabinet with a lock, and there were many such small medicine bags in it.

After locking it again, he opened a dossier and recorded the medicine used by the little emperor, no way, Yao Xiang wanted to see it.
