Eunuch Zhang carefully placed the bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup on the table, but when he looked up, he saw Xie Fei dozing off with a memorial in one hand.
"Hmm." Xie Fei frowned slightly, opened his eyes slowly and glanced at Zhang Dezi who was beside him, and asked casually, "What time is it?"
Zhang Dezi handed over the white fungus lotus seed soup and replied, "If you go back to the emperor, it's already half an hour, and it's time to go to bed and rest."
Xie Fei took the bowl without saying a word, and drank it calmly one by one. His dark eyes looked at the book just put down, and his mind couldn't help but turn.
There is nothing special about the book, but what is special is the content inside. The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi sent it to Beijing in an expedited manner by 800 li, and asked the Holy Master to allocate silver and food for disaster relief, because it rained frequently in Guangdong and Guangxi in the past half month, which caused floods. Crops were destroyed and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced.
He remembered that Qi Xuan had said that not long after the powers of Prime Minister Zuo and General Gao were taken back, he received the memorial of the flood. Because of dissatisfaction in his heart, both of them looked at their eyes and hearts when discussing solutions in the early morning. Not a single bit of opinion was expressed, and even others with their party prevaricates themselves.
Qi Xuan is very angry, but he can't. He can't give up the rights he has, and Zuo Xiang and General Gao also want to use this to make the emperor compromise. The two sides will not give in to each other. Under the misery, there are faint signs of riots, and as a result, Qi Xuan has a headache.
Under the troubles, he thought of Xi Helan. He was just going to relax. Who would have thought that he would say it out of frustration. After thinking about it, Xi Helan said a series of measures. Qi Xuan immediately Showing an expression of shock and surprise, since then he encountered problems and often asked Xi Helan for advice, which is why he later reviewed memorials and participated in state affairs.
Thinking of this, Xie Fei couldn't help but scolded an idiot in the bottom of his heart. He stroked his forehead with a headache, and took back the rights of the left minister. In addition, he had already awarded Xihelan, and the queen must have doubted himself. This mission It's really not good.
According to Qi Xuan's description, Xie Fei concluded that the queen is a smart, rational and decisive woman. Although she may have some expectations for love at a young age, her character is destined that once she finds that this love has deteriorated, she can Immediately discard it without mercy.
This is the mother of the country taught by this kind of aristocratic family. The overall situation is very good. From the time she is sensible, she understands that she is not living for herself, but for the family. Therefore, she has expectations for the love of the emperor, but she is also cautious It doesn't matter if there is better treatment, because she deeply understands the ruthless imperial family since ancient times.
Compared with the love of the emperor, she cares more about the throne of the queen and the future of the family. For her, love is nothing at all.
Xie Fei sighed deeply, closed the booklet and put it away, then got up and walked towards the compartment of the imperial study.
Zhang Dezi was a little surprised. As the emperor's personal eunuch, he knew many private matters. For example, Lan Guiren, who was not favored by the concubines in the harem, was actually deeply favored by the emperor, and even in order to protect her, the emperor still Set up the queen as a target to block her from many harem intrigues.
In the past, as long as you told the harem to rest in the imperial study, it was an indirect indication that you were going to Lan Guiren's bedroom, but seeing the emperor's actions tonight, it was clear that he was walking towards the dragon couch in the compartment.
Thinking of the noble person's promise from Xilan Palace, Zhang Dezi hesitated for a moment and then said tentatively, "Your Majesty, Lan Guiren..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the emperor's footsteps stop, and then a chill rushed to the scalp from the soles of his feet. He didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously "thumped" and knelt on the ground, trembling and trembling: "The slave has overstepped. , please forgive the emperor."
Xie Fei looked at Zhang Dezi quietly with his hands down and his eyes down, until he felt a drum in his heart, and then he said lightly: "You are my personal eunuch, it is not surprising that someone pleases you, I can also open one eye and close one eye. One eye, but... you better remember clearly, who is your master, what to do and what to say, and it's best to have a steel scale in your heart, understand?"
"Understood, understood, the emperor's teachings will be kept in mind by servants." Zhang Dezi said in a cold sweat and trembling.
"Get up, it's not an example." After saying that, Xie Fei turned around and left.
Zhang Dezi quietly sighed and stood up, raised his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly followed up, serving Xie Fei attentively, washing and changing clothes.
The emperor's mind is really hard to guess. He clearly told himself to take good care of Lan Guiren before, but now he is furious after just mentioning it. It's really unpredictable.
I thought that the emperor was a little special to Lan Guiren, but now it seems that it is a novelty. After all, foreign beauties are really rare in Daqi.
After serving Xie Fei and resting, Zhang Dezi shook his head and carefully exited the imperial study. While thinking about his thoughts, he sent someone to Xilan Palace to report to the emperor to rest in the imperial study tonight.
Xi Helan received a report from the little eunuch and asked the eldest maid to reward him with a few golden melon seeds before returning to the dormitory.
Last night, the emperor clearly promised himself that he would also come to accompany him tonight, but now she suddenly missed the appointment, so in order to get the reward of "curling the waist of the Chu palace", isn't the side mission that she took to risk and spend a huge amount of points to open to fail
Thinking of this, Xi Helan couldn't help but feel a little flustered, she immediately asked all the maids to retreat, and immediately called out the system to confirm the task in her mind.
[Side quest 3: The host has been favored for ten consecutive days, and if successful, he will be rewarded with a pair of "curling the waist of the Chu Palace".
Completion: 9/10. ]
On the last day, it fell short.
Xi Helan clenched her fists a little unwillingly. She finally got her "lovely eyes" after completing the last side quest. Now that she can't get away with stealing chickens, how can she not be angry.
The more angry she became, the more calm her mind became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Yesterday, the emperor promised well, and the little eunuch who sent the message did not say that the emperor was approving the memorial, but that the emperor was resting in the imperial study. It means that the emperor did not come to her bedroom on purpose, not because he was busy with the government and did not have time to come, let alone forgot to come, because in order to ensure that the task could be completed, she spent a lot of money to please Eunuch Zhang.
There is a problem, there must be a problem.
Unable to think of any clues, Xi Helan directly asked the system: "System, I want to check the emperor's likes and dislikes for me."
[Target favorability value: 60. ]
"The favorability value hasn't decreased, so why is it suddenly..." Xi Helan murmured, after a pause, she continued to ask, "System, is there a way to change the emperor's decision?"
[The level is not enough and cannot be changed temporarily. ]
Xi Helan closed his eyes in frustration, and asked tentatively, "Can you know why the emperor suddenly changed his attitude, or what happened tonight?"
[Please wait. ]
After a while, the system rang.
[Floods occurred in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the target is suffering from the lack of good measures to completely eradicate the floods. ]
Floods
Xi Helan rolled her eyes, remembering that one side is in trouble in modern times, and all sides support, but this is ancient times, there are many differences, and in modern times, she is just a student who has just entered the university, except for the open position seen in the novel. She really couldn't think of a good way to put food and distribute disaster relief silver.
However, she has the golden finger of the transmigrator. There must be a way for this kind of trivial system.
Thinking of this, she immediately asked, "System, what are your effective ways to deal with the flood?"
[Flood disaster response plan, check and pay 100 points. ]
100 points!
Xi Helan glanced at his remaining points. There were only 103 points. The cheapest antidote in the system store cost 50 points. After deducting 100 points, what should I do if there is an emergency? Besides, even if I spend 100 points now. Click to get this flood disaster response plan, and my side quest still fails, which is not worth it.
After hesitating for a moment, Xi Helan finally rested his mind. Anyway, the emperor's favorability value for him has not decreased, and it is not his own reason for missing an appointment tonight, it can only be said that luck is not good.
After resolving the doubts in his heart, Xi Helan yawned and fell asleep.
…
On the second day, when Mao Shi arrived, the ministers entered the palace one after another to go to court. In the Golden Palace, the Minister of the Left and the General of the Fuguo stood at the first place on both sides, both of them looking listless.
After everyone had finished reporting the big and small matters, Xie Fei took out the document from the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and said: "The flood disaster in Guangdong and Guangxi, I think you have heard about it, and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced. It can only solve the temporary crisis, do you have any good way to completely eradicate the flood?"
For a while, the hall was quiet, and the civil and military officials stood with their heads bowed, and no one spoke.
Xie Fei twitched the corner of his mouth, sneered, and called out directly, "Li Shangshu?"
The head of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing was numb, and a subtle expression flashed in his eyes. He walked out of the queue and bowed: "Return to the emperor, the lower official has checked all kinds of materials in the treasury, anytime..."
"I don't want to listen to these polite words, and my ears are full of calluses." Xie Fei interrupted directly, "No matter what disaster happens, all of you will only talk about opening warehouses to release food and allocate funds for relief, but you can never come up with one. effective plan."
Baiguan's expression changed slightly, and they all knelt on the ground and whispered: "I am incompetent, please forgive me."
Xie Fei quietly looked at the people who were kneeling below, his eyes swept coldly at the crowd, staring at them until their whole body was chilled, and then he smiled faintly: "Incompetent?"
He said with a low laugh, and said coldly: "Okay, I never use incompetent people, whoever thinks they are incompetent should stand up, and I will arrange for the capable people to live there."
This…
When everyone heard the words, they looked around in disbelief, and when they saw everyone was shocked, they believed that they had heard it right.
Confirmed is confirmed, but everyone's mood is even more tormented. Looking at the emperor's attitude, as long as he dares to stand up, the black gauze hat on his head will definitely be gone. As for his life and family's future, it is also unknown. If he doesn't acquiesce that he is not an incompetent, then what if the emperor makes himself think of a good plan
This is neither advance nor retreat, Baiguan frowned in embarrassment.
"Isn't there?" Xie Fei looked around the crowd with cold eyes, and said slowly, "If you don't have you, I will come up with a good plan for disaster relief. If you can't think of it, don't eat, and accompany the people of Li people to starve and freeze, be good. Feel it, maybe there is a good way."
After speaking, Xie Fei got up and flung his sleeves and left, leaving a group of officials kneeling on the ground struggling to think.
