"I ......" Yuan Chen's heart tightened, and he was a little at a loss for a while, "What have I done......"

"The previous dynasty was unstable, people's hearts were fluctuating, and the emperor was too anxious." Yun Qinghe patted him on the back and persuaded softly, "The emperor should know who are the people around him who are truly loyal to him, and the sharp knife should not be inward, but outward." ”

"The concubine understands what the emperor thinks, although Lord Xie is a civil official, he has a daughter of the Song family as his wife, although Wanzhou is a foreign daughter, but he has a husband as strong as Lian Yan, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is infinite for a while, and the emperor is jealous, which is not unreasonable."

"I was wrong." Yuan Chen frowned, his face showed guilt, "She has returned all the military power I gave to Song Huixin, although Lian Yan's momentum is strong, but he does not enter the court, only when I can't cope with it, I will lead troops to support, Shen Qing is happy again......"

The rest of the words, Yuan Chen didn't say anything, but his face was already as pale as paper.

Rectifying the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is tantamount to cutting off one's right-hand man.

Yuan Chen closed his eyes and slammed his fist on the table, looking pained, "What the hell have I done!" ”

"Your Majesty's ......" Yun Qinghe was taken aback by his actions, and hurriedly took his hand, his eyes were full of distress, "Since we are wrong, find a way to make up for it, Lord Xie was by your side when you were still a prince, loyal and loyal, and he will definitely not be separated from the emperor." ”

"I hope so." Yuan Chen had a headache right now, and he couldn't wait to slap himself twice to vent his anger.

"The emperor can rest assured, the concubine and Wanzhou are friends in the boudoir, and when she is looking for a leisure, the concubine summons her to the palace to chat about family life." Yun Qinghe soothed him, his tone soft.

A faint smile tugged at Yuan Chen's lips, and he said in a low voice, "Qinghe, thanks to you." ”

Yun Qinghe hung his head slightly, and smiled lightly, "The concubine and the emperor are one and the same, and it is the concubine's duty to share worries and solve problems for the emperor." ”

Yuan Chen looked at her, and only after a long time did he raise his hand and touch her cheek, and said in a deep voice, "Prime Minister Yun really raised you very well, you know books and etiquette, and you are smart and calm. ”

Yun Qinghe covered his mouth and snickered, his eyes full of tenderness, "The concubine is no longer a little girl who cries her nose for two strings of sugar gourds." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Chen also laughed out loud, and a trace of pampering flashed in his eyes that he didn't even notice.

Unconsciously, the two hearts were getting closer.

Zhuo County

On the second floor of the inn, Shen Ji sat alone at the table, looking at the carriage outside coldly through the window.

The carriage looks unpretentious, but there is a mystery inside, and the breeze blows through the curtains, revealing luxurious ornaments and blankets woven with gold threads.

After a hurried glance, Shen Ji concluded that the decoration of this carriage was at least worth a thousand gold.

"Sir, the Tang County Order has arrived."

Wen Mo walked into the house, taking into account that there were outsiders, and his behavior was quite passable, which could be called safe.

Hearing this, Shen Ji hooked his lips, with a faint smile on his face, and said quietly, "Hurry up, please come in." ”

"Yes." Wen Mo responded, turned around and invited the man into the house.

When the man saw Shen Ji, he hurriedly saluted and behaved restrainedly, "Xiaguan Tang Zhousheng has seen Lord Shen." ”

Shen Ji's eyes were slightly dark, and his gaze swept around the man.

The man was short and fat, with a big belly, and the flesh on his face trembled as soon as he spoke, and his face was oily, which was extremely incompatible with the clothes on his body that had been washed to white and had a few patches.

Tang Zhousheng seemed to be deliberately alienated, and Xiao Huangdou couldn't stop glancing at Shen Ji.

Shen Ji hooked his lips, raised his hand towards him, and said softly, "Tang County Order doesn't need to be polite, let's sit down quickly." ”

"Thank you, Lord Shen." Tang Zhou Sheng walked over timidly, his face could not hide his nervousness, "I don't know why Lord Shen came to Zhuo County, but what is the secret order from above?" ”

When he said this, Tang Zhousheng stared at Shen Ji tightly, as if he was afraid of missing the subtle emotions on his face.

"It's just an accident, I heard that Zhuo County suffered a flood not long ago, and there were countless casualties, so I came to ask." Shen Ji's face was calm, so that people couldn't catch the slightest mistake, "I don't know the taste of Tang County, so I didn't order, I first came to Zhuo County, I don't know what the characteristics are, and I have to bother Tang County to order a dish." ”

Hearing Shen Ji's words, Tang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and grinned, "Lord Shen rest assured, when you come to Zhuo County, the lower officials will naturally be entertained." ”

"Little Er!"

"Come on." The shopkeeper ran into the house with the tray in his arms, and when he saw that it was Tang Zhousheng, he immediately smiled on his face, "Lord Tang, it's you who are here." ”

Tang Zhou shook his head, moved his fingers casually, and raised his voice, "Let's have an eight-treasure duck, sheepskin filigree, and steamed sheep with wine...... Bring me all your specialties. ”

"Okay!" The shopkeeper answered, sipped the brush with the tip of his tongue, and wrote on the paper.

Seeing that Tangzhou was very skillful in ordering food, and his posture seemed to be a regular customer, Shen Ji raised his eyebrows, and a flash of interest flashed in his eyes.

This is the largest inn in Zhuo County, the food is not cheap, and the dishes ordered here are all the most expensive dishes, and I don't worry about my wallet at all.

Shen Ji smiled lightly and said nothing, and raised his hand to pour a glass of wine for Tang Zhou.

"Eh, how can you let Lord Shen pour wine for your subordinates?" Tang Zhousheng's face was terrified, and he was busy shirking, "My lord is really tormenting the officials." ”

"There is no one here, Tang County's order does not need to be formal." The corners of Shen Ji's mouth rose slightly, put down the wine jug in his hand, and said in a deep voice.

Tang Zhou Sheng retracted his hand, scratched his head and smiled, "I have long heard that Lord Shen is like a flower of kaolin, and he is a rare beautiful man. ”

Shen Ji's eyebrows were warm, his eyes were clear, and he looked very friendly, not half aggressive.

Tang Zhousheng thought that he had slapped the right sycophant, and he was complacent in his heart, and he worked harder and harder on his mouth, "Lord Shen has been promoted to three levels in a row for half a year, which can be called a legend, and it is an honor for the lower officials to be able to dine at the same table with adults." ”

Shen Ji looked at him with a smile and suddenly changed the topic, "There was a flood on the border of Zhuo County, which flooded many houses, I don't know how it was rebuilt?" ”

Tang Zhousheng's face turned pale, and his smile froze on his face, "Rebuild...... What reconstruction? ”

Shen Ji looked at him and pretended not to know, "Didn't the imperial court allocate disaster relief funds?" Or is it ...... Tang County didn't receive the silver? ”

"Disaster relief funds...... Tang Zhousheng laughed embarrassedly, pretending to be calm, "Naturally, I received it and put it into reconstruction, but the silver is not enough, and the progress is slow." ”

"I see." Shen Ji nodded, his tone flat.

Tang Zhousheng blinked, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Shen Ji's voice sounded again.

"It's better to wait until the meal is finished, and Tang County will take me to the disaster area to take a look."

Shen Ji's expression was calm, as if he was talking about an inconsequential trivial matter.

"Shen... Lord Shen ......" Tang Zhousheng was stunned for a long time before pulling the corners of his stiff mouth and said in a low voice, "The current situation in the disaster area is not good, the water can flood half of the body, you ......"

"It doesn't matter." Shen Ji interrupted him and replied with a smile, "As you are in your position and leading the court, you should do things for the people." ”

"Look at the sweat on the head of Tang County, what are you nervous about?"
