131 The ministers are here
Chapter 131 is here
Prime Minister Zhang's Mansion.
"Third child, why didn't you go to Rong Zhao today?" Zhang Changxing was puzzled.
Zhang Changyan sighed: "Ah Zhao was recruited into the palace by the emperor, the rain is so heavy, and the emperor is really-"
Prime Minister Zhang immediately scolded: "Shut up, full of nonsense!" The emperor is also something you can criticize? ”
Zhang Changyan immediately shut up and shrunk his neck.
Zhang Changxing looked at Zhang Changyan, then at Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, coughed, and changed the topic: "Rong Zhao, no, it's Taifu Rong who is really valued by the emperor now, and the prince and Taifu who are so young, not to mention women, even men." ”
Zhang Changzhi nodded, his eyes respectful, "If he ascends the throne as a new emperor one day, he will definitely be sealed, Taifu...... That's really the first person in the Dayan Dynasty. ”
Zhang Changyan silently added: "It's the same now. ”
Prime Minister Zhang looked at his three sons.
These three were bundled up, and they were not as good as Rong Ping's daughter, who sighed silently.
Why is the screen so good?
Six daughters, the sixth is still a fake son dressed as a man, this hell mode has even been overturned!
That's a ...... Good life.
relied on his father and brothers to crush him.
Now that he relies on his daughter, he can suppress him again, and he really has nowhere to reason.
Prime Minister Zhang Cheng was deeply tired, and he asked Zhang Changyan: "Third child, I am going to have someone recommend you to the court as an official, are you willing?" ”
Zhang Changyan's eyes widened, he jumped up directly, and said loudly: "I don't want to!" ”
Zhang Changxing also said: "Father, why did the third child enter the court as an official?" Isn't it right for him to follow Rong Shizi now? Wouldn't it be better if you could marry in the future, ah no, if you marry Rong Shizi? ”
Prime Minister Zhang shook his head, why didn't he think about it before, but helplessly, the gap was too big.
He sighed: "If it was possible before, you see that now, Rong Zhaodu is already a first-class product, and he is about to become a first-class household book, who was only in charge of money before, but now he is participating in national affairs, and he has the talent of a prime minister." ”
Looking at his son again, even if he looks at it with the eyes of an old father, he doesn't feel worthy of Rong Zhao.
The prime minister said that Rong Zhao could be the prime minister......
Zhang Changxing took a deep breath, only feeling that the third had a long way to go.
Zhang Changyan shook his head firmly: "No matter, anyway, I don't become an official in the court, and now it's good to help Ah Zhao manage her industry." ”
Rong Zhao's other properties are managed by him, and occasionally he is too busy, and he has to help with errands in the bank.
He kind of likes to do these things.
Moreover, after following Rong Zhao for a long time, I have learned Rong Zhao's attitude and behavior, and I seem to like these "businessmen" more than politics.
Moreover, Rong Zhao's temperament is still young, who knows what will happen in the future?
As long as he doesn't enter the court, he can follow Rong Zhao wherever he goes and what he does.
Prime Minister Zhang frowned, and scolded directly: "You are an unsuccessful thing, just rely on me and your two brothers, you will not be motivated-"
Zhang Changyan was confident: "It's good for you to be motivated, I don't like to be motivated." ”
Prime Minister Zhang will continue to scold.
Zhang Changxing hurriedly said: "Dad, don't force the third child, he can do whatever he likes,
At first glance, he is not worthy of Rong Zhao, but whether Rong Zhao is a Taifu, a Shangshu, or a prime minister, he is always a big official. ”
He smiled and narrowed his eyes and rubbed his hands: "The third child will learn to be a housekeeper hard, and he will marry Rong Zhao in the future and give Rong Zhao a housekeeper, isn't it good?" ”
This is simply outrageous!
Prime Minister Zhang glared: "That's a disgrace to my Zhang family and the men in the world!" ”
"But that's Rong Zhao." Zhang Changxing argued.
Yes, that's Rong Zhao.
However, Prime Minister Zhang still sighed, shook his head, and said helplessly: "If she is only for slaughter, it doesn't matter, but I'm afraid that she will be ...... Empress. ”
The three brothers of the Zhang family were all stunned.
Zhang Changxing suddenly thought that the king of deer was married, but neither King An nor King Jin had it.
If it is not the king of deer who ascends the throne, it is the king of An and the king of Jin......
The position of queen, I'm afraid it really has to be given to Rong Zhao.
Zhang Changyan shook his head firmly: "No, Ah Zhao will not be the queen." ”
Prime Minister Zhang frowned: "Why?" ”
Zhang Changyan was very firm: "Because she doesn't want to." ”
Prime Minister Zhang sneered, "You know again? That's the queen, the mother of a country, if she gives birth to a princess in the future, how can she not want to be in such a position? ”
He only thought that the third child was crazy.
Zhang Changyan still said: "Ah Zhao will not be willing." ”
In fact, Rong Zhao doesn't even want to be an official, how can he be a queen?
A person like her, who has a gap in her heart and has the world in mind, is not a person who can stand behind others.
-
August 1, 27th year of Yongming.
Just settled Beiyan and Xibo, King An is still looking for Zhou, and has not yet returned to Beijing.
Before he could catch his breath, the Yellow River burst its banks and Mingzhou flooded.
This time it was more serious than before, Mingzhou Zhizhou was the emperor's person on the surface, but he was actually the king's person, after the heavy rain in Mingzhou, he immediately went to the Yellow River embankment to check and organize disaster relief.
However, the flood in Mingzhou, the Yellow River burst, and the governor of Mingzhou disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown.
When the king received the news, he immediately entered the palace.
Emperor Yongming was unwell and suppressed the news.
Before he could deal with this matter, Emperor Yongming fell ill that night, and he stopped the next day.
Emperor Yongming was in poor health, and the imperial doctor went in and out every day, and the news couldn't be suppressed at all.
The dark tide between the DPRK and China is surging, and the situation is tense.
Like a volcanic crater poised for action, a restless flame hides beneath the calm.
Natural disasters will not be suspended because of the situation, in just three days, the heavy rain has caused heavy losses in Mingzhou, drowning countless people, and a county downstream has been completely flooded.
After the urgent report arrived in the capital, the officials looked at each other, and their eyes all looked at King Jin and King Deer.
Once Emperor Yongming has an accident, the heir is between the three kings.
It's normal to let them make up their minds at this point.
King Jin: "This matter should be reported to the imperial grandfather immediately, the disaster situation cannot be delayed, and I dare not delay." ”
The deer king glanced at him and said lightly: "Father Emperor Dragon is sick, the imperial doctor said that it should not be worked on or stimulated, if this emergency report damages the dragon body, who will bear it?" ”
King Jin tugged at the corners of his mouth, and looked at the deer king with a blank look: "What does Uncle Deer think should be?" ”
After Emperor Yongming fell ill, King An had not yet returned to Beijing, and King Deer had bitten King Jin, and he was already a little crazy.
King Deer: "My father has already ordered that people should be cured of the water, why don't you add some people and money and food for disaster relief?" ”
King Jin frowned: "Now it is no longer possible to cure the disaster with additional people and money, the disaster situation in Mingzhou is extraordinary, if it is not controlled as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be starvation everywhere, and displaced people will flock to other states and counties......"
The deer king's cold face was sharp, "So what?" Disaster relief is nothing more than money and food, if King Jin has other ideas, otherwise he will go to Mingzhou to treat the disaster. ”
Cui Taifu stroked his beard and said softly: "Last year's flood in Mingzhou was the king to treat the disaster, and the flood is probably more effective for the king." ”
Immediately, echoing the sound more.
"Well, in the matter of controlling the waters, the king should be respected."
"King Jin is worried about Mingzhou, it would be better if he could go to Mingzhou in person."
"Yes, the king is worried about the people......"
……
Prime Minister Zhang lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the helplessness in his eyes.
The deer king did it on purpose!
Take retreat as advance, let Pei Huaibei show his attitude, and then pick him up......
This is to force King Jin to go to Mingzhou to control the water!
Now the situation, Emperor Yongming is lying on the bed, and he is only cold, but well-informed people know that Emperor Yongming is not very awake and faints from time to time.
If Emperor Yongming is ill and King An has not returned, King Jin is out of Beijing, isn't King Deer the new emperor who is ironclad?
At this critical time, they are trying their best to return to Beijing, how can there be any reason to go out to control the water!
Yin Zhao of the Capital Mansion said: "His Royal Highness the King of the Dragon, the son of the phoenix, should not be in danger, and experienced officials should be dispatched to deal with the disaster." ”
The deer king glanced at Lord Zhao deeply.
At this time, help King Jin speak, no matter what attitude he has, at least he will not be a person who supports King Deer.
Lord Wen replied: "Isn't that what His Royal Highness the King of Deer said, send more people?" His Royal Highness really has no reason to object. ”
The words of the Deer King Party can be summed up as -
If there is an opinion, you go yourself.
If you don't go, then listen to the arrangement of His Royal Highness the Deer King.
Whether it is the former or the latter, it will be blocked to death.
However, Pei Huaibei calmly spoke: "At this time, the stakes are very important, and I should let the imperial grandfather know, if the imperial grandfather wants me to go to Mingzhou to treat the disaster, I should naturally go." ”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
The deer king looked at him deeply and said, "Since His Royal Highness the King insists on it, then let's go to see the Emperor together." ”
can let Pei Huaibei go to Mingzhou, of course the deer king will no longer stop him from seeing the emperor.
When they arrived at the dormitory, the imperial physician and Xiao Huangmen were in the dormitory.
Everyone was gloomy.
The deer king lowered his voice: "How is my father?" ”
The imperial doctor bowed his head respectfully: "The emperor is awake, but he still has a fever......"
Looking at this expression, you can know that although Emperor Yongming is awake, the situation is not good, but very bad.
Inside the dormitory.
A hoarse and somewhat indistinct voice sounded: "Who?" ”
It's Emperor Yongming!
The deer king's expression was solemn, and he immediately entered and saluted respectfully: "Father, it is the son and the king."
, as well as some courtiers...... Is my father okay? ”
Emperor Yongming opened his cloudy eyes and sat up with difficulty.
His voice was weak: "What's the matter?" ”
King Deer and Mrs. Cui looked at each other and slowly came out of the ranks.
-
"The emperor decreed that the emperor and grandson should go to Mingzhou to cure the disaster!" For this news, the screen is incredulous.
Rong Zhao frowned and asked, "When?" ”
"Today." The person standing in front of them said respectfully, "Today, King Jin and King Lu are in a stalemate about the flood in Mingzhou, so they went to the emperor, and the emperor decreed that King Jin would go out of Beijing to Mingzhou tomorrow for disaster relief." ”
Rong Ping's voice was tentative: "Is the king willing?" ”
"The king should respond immediately."
Rong Ping gasped, he turned his head to look at Rong Zhao, his face full of doubts: "What do you mean?" Why is King Jin willing to go out of Beijing at this time? Also, what does the emperor mean? Is this to kick King Jin out of the ranks of the prince? ”
At such a critical time, leaving Beijing is tantamount to giving up hope.
King An is indeed not in the capital, but people can come back at any time, and the fast horse will not be more than six or seven days.
Even if there is something, he is not afraid, the 200,000 troops at the border pass are still in his hands, and there is still a chance.
But King Jin went to control the water, and he couldn't come back at all in a month!
Besides, not coming back and letting him go out are completely two different concepts.
Rong Zhao also frowned, and then as if she thought of something, she asked, "Does the emperor still refer to other people?" Or is King Jin the only one out of Beijing? ”
"There is also Lord Zhang Changxing, Lord Zhang, Lord Xiao Zhao, the son of Yin of the Beijing Suburb Mansion, and the head of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households."
Rong Zhao lowered his eyes slightly, deep in thought.
Rong Ping was puzzled: "What's wrong?" What's the mystery here? ”
Rong Zhao looked at him and muttered: "Zhang Changxing is Prime Minister Zhang's person, Zhao Yu and Zhao Gongzi are the son of Yin of the Capital Mansion, the head of the Ministry of Works is the person of King Jin, and there is no person from the King of Deer in the Ministry of Households......"
Rongping's pupils shrank.
At first glance, I heard that King Jin and others went to Mingzhou to treat the disaster, thinking that they were kicked out of the ranks of the princes, even if they were not, it was only because Emperor Yongming took a fancy to the flood in Mingzhou, so he sent these important people.
These people may not be in high positions now, but behind them stand extremely important ministers.
But Rong Zhao woke him up.
None of these people are the people of the King of the Deer.
If the emperor really doesn't like King Jin, doesn't consider letting him inherit the throne, or wants to make King Deer the prince, then he won't arrange for King Jin to be all people who are not King Deer.
Zhang Changxing has his back to the prime minister and is the emperor's confidant.
Behind Zhao Yu is the capital mansion Yin, this position is not only the emperor's henchman, but also extremely important.
The Ministry of Industry was originally the power of King Jin.
Hubu is now Rong Zhao's territory, and it is also a typical neutral party.
After thinking clearly that Emperor Yongming did not exclude King Jin, Rong Ping still had doubts: "Then why did King Jin go to Mingzhou to control the water?" ”
Rong Zhao shook his head.
Her voice was soft: "No matter what he is going for, this trip is dangerous, more dangerous than ever." ”
When Rong Ping heard this, he sighed: "Mingzhou, it's really disturbing, the first prince died in Mingzhou to control the water......"
Day 2.
Rong Zhao went to the household department early in the morning,
King Jin and Zhang Changxing are going to Mingzhou today, and the household department will give them silver taels for disaster relief and allocate grain.
King Jin saluted: "It's too much trouble for Mrs. Rong." ()”
“
“▽()_[(()”
Pei Huaibei took a deep breath and solemnly took it.
After reading the booklet, the deed of the household department, and the certificate of deposit of the household department, he signed the booklet with a seal.
Behind him, Zhang Changxing sighed: "Mrs. Rong is really thoughtful and extremely well prepared. ”
Rong Zhao smiled and said to them: "I also asked people to buy some medicinal herbs, you all bring them, the flood is not safe, easy to get sick, and the medicinal herbs must be missing." ”
Pei Huaibei nodded: "Thank you Taifu Rong." ”
Rong Zhao smiled.
Pei Huaibei handed her the booklet in his hand and looked deeply at the woman in the purple dress in front of him.
Then he raised his hand again and saluted, and his voice was soft: "Mrs. Rong, let's not bother too much and say goodbye." ”
Rong Zhao stretched out and took the booklet.
Pei Huaibei whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Take care, be careful." ”
With that, he turned and strode away.
Although the back is not burly, it is tall and firm, and has its own style and bones.
Zhang Changxing and Zhao Yu also said goodbye to Rong Zhao.
Zhang Changxing: "Let's go, see you later." ”
Rong Zhao looked at their backs and raised his voice: "Be careful, and invite you Fu Luxuan to drink when you come back." ”
Zhang Changxing said with a smile: "Don't forget! ”
Rong Zhao smiled and shook his head, the three of them had already left.
On August 2, King Jin and his entourage left Beijing and rushed to Mingzhou as fast as possible.
Since King Jin left, there was only one prince left in the capital.
Emperor Yongming's health has not been well, intermittent illness, the deer king began to meddle in the government, judging from the current situation, the deer king is the most likely to inherit the throne.
Countless people rushed to the deer king.
And this also made him act more and more smoothly, and when Emperor Yongming could not call the shots, the king of the deer would be in charge.
The officials did not dare to speak easily, and several important officials of the Anwang Party were in a bad situation.
There has been a previous behavior, and the deer king is extremely careful this time.
When Emperor Yongming woke up, he waited in front of his bed and handed over all important matters to Emperor Yongming to deal with.
Only when Emperor Yongming is powerless, he will intervene.
The affairs of the court, he also handled them in an orderly manner.
It's a pity that Emperor Yongming has never ordered him to supervise the country, but King An's party can't sit still, and frequently writes to ask King An to return to Beijing.
On August 7, King An wrote a letter in his own hand, hoping to return to Beijing.
On August 10, Mingzhou reported that the flood was serious, and there was an epidemic in Tu County, Mingzhou, which was spreading rapidly, and the displaced people were everywhere, and Mingzhou was in chaos.
When the news reached the capital, everyone was shocked.
And soon, rumors spread.
"It's heavy rain and plague, it's clear that the geese won, why do you punish the geese?"
"I heard that the emperor is still sick...... This is the heavens punishing those who raise the army. ”
"Oh my God, that's unlucky."
"That's a plague, I don't know how many people will die, hurry up and control it, don't spread it."
……
The plague of this age was a big problem.
If the epidemic is serious and the symptoms are fatal, once it spreads, it is almost equivalent to a disaster that destroys the country!
News and rumors reached the ears of Emperor Yongming.
Emperor Yongming vomited blood on the spot.
Rong Ping and Rong Zhao hurriedly entered the palace overnight, and all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty rushed to the palace.
Bedroom.
Emperor Yongming's face was pale, and he sat on the bed, and all the officials who came in were startled, and then hurriedly saluted respectfully.
The deer king knelt respectfully beside him, holding the medicine bowl.
Emperor Yongming's voice was hoarse: "What the hell is going on?" And what about the plague? ”
Cui Taifu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's just that a plague has occurred in a county town in Mingzhou, and it must be controlled, and the emperor's dragon body is the most important." ”
Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's expression was solemn, and he slowly spoke: "What Mrs. Cui said is polite, you should immediately send a medical officer to Mingzhou, it is now heavy rain in Mingzhou, and when the rain stops, you will definitely get better." ”
Although he comforted the emperor, there was worry and uneasiness in his eyes.
His second son, Zhang Changxing, is still in Mingzhou.
Pei Zheng took two steps forward, with a worried face, "Father, drink the medicine first, King Jin is still in Mingzhou, he will definitely be able to control the epidemic, the rumors are just nonsense, the son ordered someone to control the rumors, and when the epidemic subsides, it will be self-defeating." ”
Emperor Yongming asked again: "What about King Jin?" What about officials at all levels in Minneto? ”
An official hung his head: "I don't know...... Mingzhou is in turmoil, and there is no news from King Jin. ”
There must be something big going on in Mingzhou!
Whether it is a big chaos or the news is blocked, the situation in the whole Mingzhou must be very bad.
Emperor Yongming's cloudy gaze swept over all the officials present.
It's all a group of people who don't know what they're thinking, either a group of old bones, or they don't have the ability to help him solve his troubles.
But soon, his gaze froze.
A touch of cyan in the crowd is really obvious.
Emperor Yongming's gaze stayed on Rong Zhao, and his voice was hoarse: "Ah Zhao, come here......"
Rong Zhao stepped forward a few times and said respectfully: "The minister is here." ”
Rong Ping's heart tightened, and the whole person's nerves tensed instantly.
Emperor Yongming smiled.
The sentence "the minister is here" makes people feel at ease immediately.
She never said much, just a sentence of "being there", which is her attitude and her ability to make people down-to-earth and stable.
Emperor Yongming grabbed her wrist and clenched it tightly, her voice was still hoarse, but it was very powerful-
"I will order Mrs. Rong to be the messenger and take the medical officer to Mingzhou tomorrow to quell the epidemic. Mingzhou floods, epidemics, inconvenient news exchanges, Mingzhou and neighboring Zhengzhou, troops, officials, all handed over to Rong Taifu to transfer, all affairs, Rong Taifu has full authority to handle, if anyone does not obey the order, kill! ”
At this time, all the officials present widened their eyes in shock.
Give her so much authority!
But Rong Ping's legs were weak and he almost sat on the ground.
beside
Prime Minister Zhang Cheng pulled him to death,
Don't let him lose his temper in front of the emperor.
This is the emperor's weight!
Even if there is a flood in Mingzhou, even if there is an epidemic in Mingzhou, the people who are valued by him must be on top and cannot escape.
Zhang Chengxiang understands the psychology of Rong Ping very well.
His son is in Mingzhou, can he not understand?
However, at this moment, in front of such Emperor Yongming, he can't lose his temper, and he can't be unhappy.
Being able to give the military power and management rights of the two states in one breath already shows that Emperor Yongming has no scruples at this time, which is not a decision that a sober emperor can make.
But because he was not sober, no one dared to resist.
Emperor Yongming's cloudy eyes were red, and he pinched Rong Zhao's hand hard, his fingertips turned white, word by word: "I handed over Mingzhou to you, and I will definitely treat disasters and save people and control the epidemic." ”
Rong Zhao took a deep breath, saluted respectfully, and responded loudly: "The minister's order!" ”
Her expression was reassuringly calm and calm.
That night, the entire Dayan court stayed awake all night.
gave Rong Zhao so much authority, and asked her to leave tomorrow, the officials had to be all busy this night.
Drafting, writing, and the deployment of personnel and materials.
All six departments are busy.
Rong Ping grabbed Rong Zhao's arm when he left the dormitory, and his voice trembled: "Ah Zhao......"
He was so flustered that he didn't even know how to speak.
In addition to the floods and epidemics in Kaiming State, with such a great authority comes greater responsibility.
If the flood and the epidemic can't be controlled, Rong Zhao will be responsible, if there is chaos, she will also be responsible, and if something happens to King Jin, she will probably be responsible.
This Qincha has stepped into the Yama Hall with half his life!
Rong Zhao raised his hand and patted him, reassuringly; "Dad, don't worry, I don't know what the situation is in Mingzhou, it may not be as bad as I imagined, I will be fine."
What else does Rongping want to say.
"Mrs. Rong!" Someone shouted, in a hurried tone.
Rong Zhao smiled at Rong Ping, and his tone was relaxed: "Father, which time in the past two years have I not been on the line of life and death, this is nothing, besides, this may not be my chance, you wait for me to come back, it will be fine." ”
After speaking, she patted Rongping on the shoulder again and strode away, her back firm.
How can the screen be reassured?
He seemed restless and even staggered when he walked.
Prime Minister Zhang walked over and stretched out his hand to help him.
The two old rivals in their sixties were worried about their children at this time, and walked out of the palace together.
Rong Zhao was busy all night.
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, at this time, the deer king Pei Zheng stood in front of her.
Rong Zhao paused, and the two looked at each other.!
