Hearing that his brother said that there was a plague in his hometown, Gu Zhaorong was also shocked, and asked anxiously, "How could this be? I didn't hear the slightest sound of wind in the capital."
A bit of resentment appeared in Gu Congzhi's eyes, and said: "The local official in Changzhou blocked the news, and we couldn't deliver the mail at all. My mother and I spent a lot of silver and arranging the guards to get it in the middle of the night. Ran out."
Yao Yanyan, who was sitting at the side, heard him say this, her eyebrows were upside down, and angrily said: "It is unreasonable that the magistrate of Changzhou dared to conceal the epidemic. Isn't this causing trouble for the court?"
Gu Liu wiped away his tears and cried, "I still ask your mother to be the master. You must report this matter to your majesty!" A mother who had served by her side for many years also got sick. Gu Liu was so sad that he almost fainted. past.
Yao Yanyan nodded and stood up and said to Gu Liu: "Don't worry, I will go to your Majesty now." Then to Gu Zhaorong, "You settle down with your family first."
Gu Zhaorong knelt down gratefully, "Thank you, Niang."
Yao Yanyan looked at Gu Zhaorong and almost kowtowed her head with gratitude. She couldn't help but think of the scene where the people in the city saw her off yesterday. She sighed and waved her hand and said: "As long as you make more delicious food for the palace and your majesty. ."
Gu Zhaorong heard this and immediately agreed.
Yao Yanyan went to the Imperial Study Room.
On the way to the Imperial Study Room, she was a little tangled in her heart. Although the investigation of Prime Minister Zhang’s line of personnel has added a lot of income to the treasury, his majesty must train and raise soldiers, build weapons, and reduce taxes, plus courtiers’ salary, imperial expenses, etc. This money looks at it. Many, in fact, it is not spent, and the plague broke out in Changzhou, and the local officials still concealed it without reporting it. It is necessary to use medicinal food to control the disease. These are all money!
If the treasury's money is not enough, wouldn't your majesty's small treasury be kept
Yao Yanyan couldn't bear to think of her Majesty's desperately saving money like a small animal who only wants to spend the winter.
But if you really want to use your majesty's small treasury, she must persuade her if she can't bear it anymore. If the money is gone, you can make more money. If the people are gone, they will have nothing.
The palace people carrying the sedan chair walked fast, and Yao Yanyan was thinking about it, and the imperial study room arrived.
She carried her skirt and got off the sedan chair. She walked to the door on the stone steps in front of the Imperial Study Room, and looked inside. She thought that she would see the scene of your Majesty scrambling and carefully reviewing memorials. As a result, after the table in the Imperial Study Room , But there is no figure of your majesty.
She asked the little eunuch who was guarding the gate, "Where is your majesty?"
The little eunuch whispered: "Mother, your majesty is resting in the room, your majesty has confessed that no one can disturb."
Can anyone interrupt
Is Yao Yanyan anyone? Of course not.
So she raised her hand and waved away the little eunuch who was trying to persuade her, and strode directly into the royal study room. As she walked into the room, she was still thinking, it's almost evening, how could your majesty take a rest at this time
In the imperial study room, the smoke from the top of the Rui Beast incense burner exudes a light and pleasant fragrance. Yao Yanyan is dressed in a rouge palace dress, and when the long skirt is dragged across the ground, she makes a gentle rustling sound. She has not yet walked inside. At that moment, I heard a small sound as the drawer was closed.
What is your majesty doing? Yao Yanyan walked over gently, turned the screen of Jinxiu Mountain and River, and saw her Majesty lying on the soft collapse in the inner room.
Before taking off his shirt, he was covered with a thin blanket. On his handsome face, he had a pair of phoenix eyes closed tightly, his long eyelashes were covered, his breathing was shallow, his chest was slightly undulating, and he seemed to be asleep.
Yao Yanyan looked at him quietly for a while, and suddenly sighed, "Hey, it seems that I came at an untimely time, and your Majesty actually fell asleep."
His Majesty the Emperor lying on the couch was motionless, like a solidified jade sculpture.
Yao Yanyan walked up to her Majesty and sat down, resting her cheeks and looking at His Majesty's flawless face, suddenly her eyes moved, and she said to herself: "While your Majesty is asleep now, I will tease him!"
After Yao Yanyan's words fell, she saw her majesty's finger on her side move lightly. She pretended not to know, she stood up, walked a few steps in the inner room, making the appearance of patrolling the inner room looking for something, and while looking at it, she said: "How can I tease your Majesty? Scratch him?"
She said so, but her eyes were fixed on your Majesty. Seeing that he was motionless, she smiled and said, "No, your Majesty is asleep. It's not fun to scratch him. It's not fun to scratch his feet with feathers. ?"
Your Majesty's hand on his side moved again, Yao Yanyan resisted smiling, and shook her head again: "No, what if your Majesty wakes up and finds out? It's too late to put your shoes on!"
Yao Yanyan said that she walked slowly to her side and sat down, leaned over and pinched a few strands of her hair, and began to sweep around the tip of her nose.
His Majesty's face remained motionless, but the fingers on his side couldn't help but move several times.
Yao Yanyan saw it, smiled, and swept several times. When her brows couldn't help but faint, she finally stopped and sighed: "Hey, it seems that your majesty is really asleep, then I will Stop teasing him."
Seeing His Majesty's brow stretched, motionless, as if he was relieved. Yao Yanyan suffocated a smile and tried to say in a serious tone: "Well, since your Majesty is asleep, let me look for a book!"
She cast her gaze on the golden nanmu cabinet beside your Majesty’s bed. The cabinet was exquisitely made. There were four legs supporting the cabinet underneath. The top was divided into three levels. The first two levels were drawers with a picture of a fairy giving a child. The third level It is a small multi-treasure rack, and on that multi-treasure rack, there are also a few exquisite small jade carvings.
As she walked to the cabinet, making a gesture to open the drawer, she said to herself: "I don't know what's in this drawer..."
His Majesty opened his eyes secretly, Yu Guang glanced at Yao Yanyan, and saw Ai Concubine pressing one hand on the pull ring of the drawer, she was about to open her eyes, immediately opened her eyes and shouted: "Ai Concubine! "
Yao Yanyan turned her head and looked at the emperor in surprise, "Your Majesty, aren't you asleep?"
His Majesty the Emperor didn't blink his eyes and said, "I smelled a familiar fragrance in my sleep. I guessed that my concubine was coming and woke up."
Your Majesty has really become more and more able to speak recently. Yao Yanyan glanced at him, gave up the drawer, sat sideways on the soft side, and without further delay, she told him about the plague in Changzhou.
His Majesty the Emperor frowned when he heard the words "Plague". In the palace, the two actually didn't know how terrible the plague could be, but after hearing these two words, they subconsciously had a bad premonition. Because every time there was an epidemic, the court had to spend a lot of money to go to the disaster area. For His Majesty and Yao Yanyan, the problem that needed a lot of money to solve must be very serious.
His Majesty the Emperor asked: "Is the news true?"
Yao Yanyan said: "It should be true. The appearance of Gu Zhaorong's mother and brother does not look like a lie."
His Majesty the Emperor said: "Changzhou is so far away from the capital. Since they escaped, why didn't they inform the district officials along the way?"
This Yao Yanyan had forgotten to ask, she said, "But I see the look on her mother, this should be true. Your Majesty, please ask Mr. Yixin quickly!"
His Majesty the Emperor nodded and quickly summoned Mr. Yixin.
Prime Minister Zhang's conspiracy case has not yet been swept away. Feng Yuan is on trial at the Criminal Ministry. Hearing his Majesty's urgent call, he did not dare to neglect, but hurried over from the Criminal Ministry.
As soon as he came, the emperor said that the plague might have occurred in Changzhou.
Feng Yuan's expression became serious when he heard the words, and said, "Gu Zhaorong's family has no reason or guts to deceive the king. The mother and son rushed all the way to the capital, but they did not dare to report the news to the counties along the way. They wanted to eat here. Unfortunately, your Majesty, the Weissier guessed that officials in Changzhou and its nearby counties should have colluded in one place. You must send someone to investigate this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, the epidemic will only get worse."
His Majesty saw a clever man like Feng Yuan with a solemn expression, and he quickly summoned Gu Congzhi’s mother and son until he met the emperor. Gu Congzhi told all the truth. He bluntly said that they will go to Chang after they escaped from Changzhou. The prefectural government told about the epidemic. Unexpectedly, before entering the Yangzhou government, he saw people around the governor of Changzhou coming out of the Yangzhou government, and there were people secretly tracking down their mother and son along the way. They didn’t dare to care and threw everything away. Valuable jewelry clothes, just dressed as ordinary people, wandering all the way, day and night, arrived in the capital, but did not want to just arrive in the capital, the mother who had always been tough, fell ill, and their identity papers were lost again, this It was only delayed for a few days.
Hearing Gu Congzhi's words, Feng Yuan said: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed, you have to send someone to Changzhou quickly." The plague emerged in Xiazhou and counties. The local governor must be punished, the Changzhou governor. In order to conceal this, I do not know how many people will be killed.
His Majesty the emperor immediately nodded and drafted the imperial decree according to Feng Yuan's suggestion. He sent someone with soldiers and horses to go to Changzhou first, and then ordered the establishment of a national treasury to quickly prepare silver grains to be sent to Changzhou.
This is the end.
When His Majesty was finished, he looked up and found that the day outside was dark, and there were screams in his stomach. It was time for dinner.
He was about to greet his concubine to have a meal, when he suddenly realized that there was no concubine by his side. His Majesty the Emperor tilted his head in confusion, remembering something, and quickly walked into the inner room a few steps, and saw that the concubine was pulled away and collapsed. The drawer next to me took out the book inside.
His Majesty the Emperor shouted in surprise, "Ai Concubine, don't!"
Yao Yanyan, who had a guilty conscience, was startled. One hand shivered. The book fell to the ground with a bang. The page opened, revealing a pair of men and women with untidy clothes and overlapping pictures sitting on swings. They are the people. Love the spring palace.
Yao Yanyan:...
She was heartbroken, when did Your Majesty become so heavy!
My finger was bitten by a mosquito the day before yesterday, and it is still swollen there, these damn mosquitoes! Too vicious! So I picked up the electric mosquito swatter, and every time I heard the sound of slaps, I seemed to slap a vicious villain, full of joy and complicated mood.
