The emperor's body is getting better day by day, and the queen mother likes it very much, and immediately rewards the harem.

The imperial doctors waited every day and almost didn't fit their eyes, and each of them admired the moon for half a year.

Du Zhiyan also got two ingots of gold.

I went to the Penal Division for a few days and harvested two ingots of gold.

It's not that this job can't be done.

Two ingots of yellow and clear gold, Du Zhiyan's eyes lit up.

The emperor sighed: "Wealth fan." ”

It's not the first day that I'm lost in money, women, it's not a bad thing to have a little gold and silver. In the end, men will die, there will be no favor, and gold will not.

Outside handed the fold in, Gao Rang saw that it was an excerpt from Yongxing City, and his face changed greatly.

Sure enough, behind the fold, there were more than a dozen courtiers.

As far as Du Zhiyan knows, this Yongxing City is close to Yelang, which can be regarded as Chen Guo's side.

Although Yongxing City is not stable, because it is barren and remote, except for the New Year's holidays, it rarely hands over folds. Even if you hand over the excerpt, it is also an ordinary excerpt to the emperor and the queen mother.

Gao Rang saw that the excerpts handed by Yongxing City were like facing a great enemy, and more than a dozen ministers also followed, and it seemed that something had happened.

The emperor asked Du Zhiyan to hide behind the screen and not squeak.

Through the screen, you can see more than a dozen ministers entering the hall with their robes, and the black pressure is large, full of oppression.

The emperor flipped through the folds and sat back at the back of the case.

"The lovers are here." The emperor is calm as usual.

"I heard that the emperor is sick." The minister at the front said.

"Xie Aiqing remembers, I'm fine."

"The ministers don't remember the emperor, but the people of Yongxing City." The minister said.

Through the screen, I couldn't see the appearance of these people vaguely, but listening to this minister, I really didn't have a brain. The emperor's illness is almost gone, it's so easy to get better, you just saw that the emperor as a courtier shouldn't ask the emperor to say hello first, this half-hung man actually said that he didn't remember the emperor.

This half-voice is still a little familiar.

On the screen, there is a red dust concubine smiling, no one knows that it is a pattern of lychees, and strings of bright red lychees make people salivate. But it also blocked the view.

Du only said that his eyes were close to the screen, and the shadows were so full that he couldn't see clearly.

"Yongxing City is so far away from the capital, the locusts are overflowing in the old years, the rice fields are not harvested, a hail in the autumn killed the ears of corn, the farmers have no grain in stock, although there are no locusts and hail this year, but there are several heavy rains, the rainstorm crosses, and the rice fields are washed away, compared to the old year, this year is even more particles. Although there was a famine in the old year, but fortunately, the imperial court relieved, although the imperial court relieved this year, but it was also a drop in the bucket, and now the people of Yongxing City live like a year, the price of rice in Yongxing City has risen a hundred times compared with previous years, and the farmers can't afford to eat rice, so don't they want to riot? The minister was indignant.

I heard the courtiers next to him scolding in a low voice: "Lord Du, you are a supervisor of the imperial history, just do your job of supervising hundreds of officials, the affairs of Yongxing City are under the jurisdiction of our household department, aren't you acting as a substitute?" ”

"No, he told him what we said. It seems that we are incompetent. ”

Master Du, it's strange that this minister's voice is a little familiar, could it be that this half-witted man is his own father. My father used to be an errand boy clearly, is it that the more he is in charge, the more he goes back?

Du Zhiyan was a little nervous in her heart, for fear that her father would say anything nonsense.

Du Zhong was really not idle: "If the disaster relief is not handled well, and the people of Li suffer, the emperor has a bad reputation, and the ministers have to remember the emperor's virtue." ”

"Master Du, the emperor's illness is cured, why are you still threatening the emperor, is the emperor not dealing with it? The emperor cares more about the people, because he cares too much about the safety of the people, so he gave birth to this disease. ”

"However, now the price of rice and noodles in Yongxing City remains high, because of the lack of harvest, the people are already living hard, and now the only money left is not enough to buy rice and noodles, and the people's life is not good."

The ministers seconded.

"Does the emperor have a good plan? The price of rice noodles in Yongxing City needs to be lowered urgently. ”

If the emperor had a good plan, he would not have suffered from this illness.

Yongxing City is far away from the capital, and the old Yongxing City has lost its harvest due to reduced production, so the capital not only allocated silver taels, but also let the nearby city urgently send some rice and noodles for emergency. This year, Yongxing City has been famine again, although the silver of the imperial court has been allocated, but the matter of allocating silver, layer by layer, to the hands of the people is very limited, plus the price of rice and noodles has soared, and several cities around Yongxing City are not rich, and the people have some complaints.

A few days ago, the excerpts in Yongxing City were one after another, and the emperor tried to find a way day and night, but he didn't come up with a good idea to reduce the price of rice and noodles.

In the days when the emperor fainted, the excerpts from Yongxing City were suppressed.

Now that the emperor has just recovered from his illness, the fold of pressure has been handed over again.

More than a dozen ministers jointly knelt in front of the emperor, some sang red-faced, some sang white-faced, in short, the matter of Yongxing City needed the emperor's idea.

"The price of rice and noodles is related to the people's livelihood, if the people can't eat enough, they will inevitably have some chickens and dogs and thieves, and if it is serious, burning, killing and looting will not hesitate, Your Majesty, you can ask for a holy judgment."

"Your Majesty, you are young, you haven't experienced such a major event a few times, if the first emperor was there, with the means of the first emperor, it would be. I can't tell." A minister tilted his head.

The emperor didn't get used to him: "Luo Aiqing believes in the first emperor so much, it's better to send you to serve the first emperor." ”

The minister surnamed Luo hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, don't you dare to make such a joke, how many years has the first emperor died." ”

"Or, send you over there and ask the first emperor, how to solve the matter of Yongxing City, the price of rice and noodles, how to fall, didn't you say it, the first emperor has the means."

The minister surnamed Luo pursed his mouth and didn't dare to mention it anymore.

"Zhou Aiqing, do you have an idea?"

The minister shook his head.

"Du Aiqing, do you have an idea?" The emperor asked Du Zhong's head.

Du Zhong also stammered: "Your Majesty, the minister is just a supervisor of the imperial history, and the price of rice and noodles does not belong to the scope of the minister." ”

"Then you're messing around with them." The emperor squinted at the black and oppressive courtiers, what should I say, when I don't let them make up their minds, such as what should be called the child born after the queen is pregnant, these ministers have ideas, and when they make ideas, their mouths are tighter than the other.

"If Aiqing can solve the problem of eating for the people of Yongxing City, I will promote him to an official. If you can do it, take a step forward. ”

No one stood forward.

"Aren't all my lovers quite capable? Doesn't anyone dare to take a step forward? The emperor glanced at everyone, his deep eyes shining with cold light.

The courtiers had a cold on their backs, you look at me, I look at you, and they all took a step back.

Du Zhong was thinking with his head down, and suddenly noticed that the people around him had retreated, only he was standing in the front row like a bird, thinking that he was bad and was overshadowed by this group. Obviously, they led him to the front of the palace, saying that it was such a big thing, and an outstanding superintendent like Du Zhong must pay attention to the record on the side, but I didn't expect to sell him.

"Du Aiqing, you have an idea so soon?"

"Nope"

"No idea, what are you going to stand on?"

"Ministers" Du Zhong was speechless.

My father is in trouble.

You can't abandon your father.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan to keep Yong Star City safe."

The emperor is happy, my Aiqing has improved?

But look at it, these ministers are like quails with their necks shrunk one by one, which one looks like a responsible one.

But Du Zhiyan walked out from behind the screen: "Your Majesty, the concubine has a plan." ”

"I'm discussing business with Aiqing, and Du Chang is here for you to go back." The emperor gave Du Zhiyan a look, which means that I am in the office, why did you come out.

Sure enough, these ministers have a topic.

"This is Du Changzai? I heard that the emperor loves Du Changzai, since Du Changzai has high views, it is better to say it and listen to it, if he can save the people of Yongxing from fire and water, it can be regarded as Du Chang's blessing. ”

"Du Changzai is just a woman in the deep palace, how much insight can he have? None of us can come up with a way, but Du Changzai can come up with it? It's nothing but grandstanding. The minister surnamed Luo rolled his eyes: "If Du Chang is such a little woman, she can come up with a way, and the minister can also come up with a way." ”

The emperor is not used to him: "Since Luo Aiqing can come up with a way, come and come, you say it first." ”

A minister with the surname Luo.

Du only said that he often had ghost ideas, and the emperor knew about it.

But at present, Yongxing City has been out of harvest year after year, and the situation of the people is like fire and water, but it is not a joke.

Just like the courtiers said, Du Zhiyan is just a deep palace woman, what good way can she come up with, the emperor doesn't have much hope.

"Since Du Chang is saying that she has a plan, then listen to her say, if it doesn't work, it's all a joke, if it works, then she has done a great thing."

It's like a sentence.

The emperor sat up straight, looked at Du Zhiyan expectantly, "You can talk about it." ”

"The concubine's plan can make Yongxing City not short of food, and second, it can reduce the price of food in Yongxing City."

"What's the plan?"

"A woman's plan."

minister

The emperor smiled lightly, and when he saw that the ministers had dark faces, he waved his hand: "Aiqing, let's go back, I see that Du Changzai's method is feasible, so I will do what she says." ”

Look at me, people, and I'll look at you.

Your Majesty, your old man is hallucinating?

Did Du Changzai say any method?

She didn't seem to say anything. Your Majesty, where did you hear that?

The emperor has his own words: "Du Chang is in the same mind with me, and I know her thoughts without saying it, so I will follow her woman's plan." ”

"But."

"Don't count my words?"

"Long live the emperor. The ministers did not dare. ”

"Stand down."

"Yes."

The ministers were filled with righteous indignation one by one and pulled out of the Taihe Palace.

Before leaving the Taihe Palace, on the corner of the road, the people of the household surrounded Du Zhong.

Du Zhong laughed with him, a little embarrassed.

"Lord Du, the good daughter you raised, you can be regarded as fascinated by the emperor, we discussed the national affairs just now, she said that she has a plan, but we don't even know what the plan is, you are Du Changzai's father, do you know?"

"The old minister doesn't know." Eucommia snorted haha.

"The good daughter raised by Lord Du, now the emperor doesn't even care about the major affairs of the people of Li for her, and only cares about pleasure."

What the people in the household department said is not unreasonable.

Because they walked out of the Taihe Palace with their front feet, they went to Nanfu and called more than 20 singers in Nanfu, and the singers wore green off-the-shoulder shirts, combed high buns and walked past a group of ministers with a smile, and the fat powder was very fragrant.

"How can it be?"

"Lord Du, look at it, look at it, a good emperor, tsk."

"When he came out just now, the old minister also heard the emperor say that he called the singer of Nanfu to come over, and then drank and danced. The people of Yongxing City still can't get enough to eat. ”

The emperor was cured, the queen mother finally put down her plate of oily Buddha beads, the scriptures have not read two pages, and I heard that a group of singers had a party in the Taihe Palace, a group of people, the emperor coaxed away the minister, and left Du only to accompany him to drink and watch the performance, it has been two or three hours, and the singing and dancing of the Taihe Palace has not stopped.

It's really a businesswoman who doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings backyard flowers across the river.

The Queen Mother rubbed her Buddha beads again, couldn't calm down in her heart, took off the golden hairpin in the hair, and asked Aunt Guan to open the cabinet, took out a box of bracelets, earrings, gold ingots, and placed the golden hairpin in it.

In the heavy carved box, there is the gold and silver guy hidden by the Queen Mother.

"Send it to the emperor, just say that the people of Yongxing City are having a hard time, and the mourning family can't look at it, these gold and silver guys, let the emperor put it away, and send it to the hungry people in one piece, so that they can exchange it for some rice and flour food, which is also a piece of the mourning family's heart."

Aunt Guan went with the box in her hand and quickly brought it back.

"The emperor said, the Queen Mother, he has received your wishes, but now the price of rice and noodles in Yongxing City has risen to the sky, and the things in this box may not be able to buy two catties of rice, so the Queen Mother, you should keep it and wear it."

The Queen Mother almost choked.

The contents of this box are worth hundreds of taels of silver, to say the least.

The emperor actually said that he couldn't buy a few catties of rice? The emperor wants to kneel in the temple again, right?

"What else did the emperor say?"

"The emperor said that he was sick for a while, and his body was still weak, so he had to watch a song and dance performance these days, listen to a play or something, and make up for the deficit in his body. In the past few days, Du Changyu has been waiting in the Taihe Palace, so don't bother. ”

The Queen Mother slapped the Buddha beads on the small table.

I have lived most of my life and lived as someone else.

The emperor should also have a degree of favoring the Du family.

Even if Du Shi saved his life, he couldn't be so used to it.

What does it mean to be inconvenient for others to disturb?

Could it be that the people of Yongxing City have abandoned it?

Determined to be a faint king?

The so-called fighting the world is easy to defend the world, the ancestors and ancestors are easy to pass down the country, the emperor, you can't be cautious.

The next day, the emperor did not come to court early.

Hundreds of civil and military officials were talking about it in the court.

The Queen Mother came to the gate of Taihe Palace with her golden silk nanmu cane. The civil and military officials also knelt down. Outside the Taihe Palace, it is already crowded.

Gao Rang saw the Queen Mother coming up the stairs, and quickly knelt down: "Queen Mother, the slave asks the Queen Mother for peace." ”

"Get out of the way."

"Queen Mother, the emperor said that except for Du Chang, no outsiders will be allowed to enter."

"You dare to stop the way of mourning, Gao Rang, you are really getting better and better at errands."

Gao Rang fell to the ground, and there was a fine sweat in his ears.

The life of singing and dancing in Taihe Palace, compared to yesterday, today has added six new dancing girls. Two more musicians were added.

Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, can drink a glass is a glass.

The Queen Mother listened to the drums and laughter coming from the hall, and the crutches in her hand fell heavily to the ground.

The mighty officials are all looking at it.

Does the emperor not care about his own image at all?

The faint monarch and demon woman, it really makes no sense.
