Zhao Chao smiled bitterly and said, "You can pay seven or eight thousand. I'll find a way to do the rest."
You Miao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your court is simply a bottomless pit."
Zhao Chao sighed again, You Miao rice grains stuck to his face, and patted Zhao Chao on the shoulder, signaling not to worry too much. After a while, Zhao Chao was eating and eating, and then said to Youmiao: "I want to send Li Zhifeng to the expedition, I can't do it without him."
You Miao's expression twitched, and she asked, "You know it wouldn't work without him, the twelve memorials are still there..."
"I didn't help him out?" Zhao Chao said impatiently: "You didn't see me being scolded like a dog by a group of ministers earlier this morning, and even Mr. Sun couldn't stand it anymore."
You Miao hurriedly gestured to calm down the emperor's dog's mood. Every time Zhao Chao wanted to get angry, his anger could be suppressed by You Miao just right. He said that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, but You Miao is like a beast tamer. To be able to play like him, whether it is the entire court, or the emperors of the Apocalypse, no one can surpass him.
Zhao Chao said seriously again: "Listen, I want to let the second brother go... to suppress the bandits. No matter what, someone has to do it, I can only rely on him... "
You Miao: "?"
You Miao looked inexplicable, Zhao Chao explained: "Northwest Yangzhou, Jiangzhou, and Jiaozhou, because of last year's floods and this year's severe drought, there are already refugees... rioting."
You Miao knew immediately that this was no trivial matter.
"Is this an uprising?"
Zhao Chao frowned at You Miao, You Miao realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"There are now 100,000 people." Zhao Chao said, "including those who went south, the northern refugees who have not been allocated their fields, and the affected tenants who have no crops in the south."
"God..." You Miao murmured, finally feeling that this was a serious matter, Zhao Chao whispered again: "This matter was sent expeditedly from 800 li today, at first the prefect of Jiangzhou did not dare to The news has been delayed for a few days, and the news has been suppressed, and now there are more and more people... Except for the Political Affairs Hall and the Ministry of War, the other ministers in the DPRK still don't know."
"But you asked Li Zhifeng to beat unarmed civilians..." You Miao frowned.
Zhao Chao said: "Then I'll go on a personal expedition?"
You Miao sighed, beating outsiders is different from beating ordinary people. He is not afraid to kill Hu people at all, but killing refugees is a matter of detriment to yin and virtue. What's wrong with others? So many people have no food to eat, go to rob the official storehouse, rob the family house, and rob the grain storehouse of the gentry when they are hungry, isn't it just to survive
It is really an internal and external trouble, a war of water and fire.
You Miao pondered, Zhao Chao said: "The people in Jiangzhou have changed, Jiangdong, Jiangnan must arrange disaster relief as soon as possible. You go back to the Political Office, and the counselor will consult with you. The imperial decree over Pingxi has been Go out, the military rations and the food for disaster relief will be handed over to you. You will hand it over to Li Zhifeng, and you will go out in the name of 'dangling the bandits'. You will be transferred between the political affairs hall and the military department. You have to stay on the front line, don’t have time to leave, and hand it over to others. First, it’s the old folks, and you can’t kill the refugees. Second, you have to falsely report your achievements… This thing can’t be ambiguity, it has to be suppressed as soon as possible, you know.”
You Miao had no choice but to nod, the two of them were full, but You Miao was so full of things, she only had a stomachache, and the food she ate could not be digested, and all of a sudden there were so many things blocking her.
The maid brought tea again, but this time it was iced oolong plum tea. You Miao drank half a cup, which made her feel more comfortable.
Zhao Chao: "There is one more thing."
"Forgive me—" You Miao screamed.
Zhao Chao laughed and comforted: "It's a good thing."
You Miao didn't believe that there would be good things, so she said weakly, "Let's talk."
Zhao Chao said happily: "The Xie family, Xie Hui, is the most powerful in the clan, do you know them?"
"Of course." You Miao said angrily, "The Minister of the Household belongs to the Xie family."
Zhao Chao nodded and said, "Xie Hui's eldest brother, Xie Xingzhuan, wants to marry his only daughter to you."
You Miao immediately said: "No! Let's not talk about this matter!"
Even Zhao Chao didn't expect You Miao to have such a big reaction. He frowned and said, "What are you thinking about? You should be imitating women and promising Li Zhifeng your whole life!"
You Miao waved her hand and said, "Don't mention it anymore. Anyway, don't mention marriage to me in this life."
You Miao said this without mercy, Zhao Chao suddenly became angry, and shouted: "You are a coward!"
You Miao knew that if he wanted to insist on this matter, he would not give in at all, and replied, "If you want to use your authority to oppress me, give me death."
"You..." Zhao Chao was almost speechless.
"Li Zhifeng is going to beat the common people for you." You Miao said, "What would he think if you asked me to marry me?"
Zhao Chao frowned and said, "I want to give you, him, and Nie Dan a marriage..."
You Miao: "Shu Chen dare not accept the decree."
Zhao Chao couldn't talk to You Miao. He took a deep breath and asked patiently, "What's wrong with your brain? Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? It will be a lot easier in the middle! Today, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, Xie Huizai, is still helping you to talk... How are you..."
You Miao got up and shook her head towards Zhao Chao.
Zhao Chao tried his best to persuade: "You marry her without delaying you and Li Zhifeng, not to mention that you are already twenty, you don't care about the family inheritance?! There is a woman at home who cares for her husband and children, and you are only a villa. You can handle it... You Ziqian! You are so bold!"
You Miao stood at the door of the study, holding a troupe of memorials, staring at Zhao Chao dazedly.
Zhao Chao didn't know why, but his heart softened. You Miao's eyes seemed to be back to when he was a child. He was slapped in the face in Taixue and looked at him timidly.
Zhao Chao was exhausted and had to give in and surrender.
Zhao Chao: "You go."
You Miao nodded, said nothing, bowed and said, "I retire."
Zhao Chao sighed, and when You Miao came out, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. As he walked, he leaned against the palace gate and was stunned for a while. He didn't know if the memorial was lost, but a guard picked it up and chased after him.
It was already midnight when he left the palace, You Miao was distracted and had no time to think. After returning to the political affairs hall, he felt a little bored - when he woke up tomorrow, there would be enemies everywhere.
You Miao slammed into the room, and Mu Feng was startled, hurriedly chased in, and You Miao said, "Let me be quiet."
Mu Feng didn't dare to speak, You Miao lay on the pillow seat and closed his eyes tiredly. After a long time, someone knocked on the door outside, You Miao said angrily, "I want to sleep!"
Sun Yu: "Are you angry?"
This time, it was You Miao's turn to be frightened. She got up in a hurry and opened the door, only to see Sun Yu dressed in white, with white hair and beard, holding a small transparent glass lamp, standing in the yard, the fire flashed and flickered. of.
You Miao: "Sir?"
You Miao breathed a sigh of relief, the autumn night was cool and the night wind was blowing.
You Miao explained: "I just came back from His Majesty's place, everything is piled up, I'm a little irritable, sir, don't blame..."
