The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 361 Inside the Flying Rain Pavilion
(The easter egg at the end of the chapter, the internal composition of Jinshen Hall)
Inside Feiyuxuan, Zhao Yanxun was reclined on the soft couch, holding a plate of snacks in his hand, and was throwing them into his mouth one by one.

While eating delicious food in his mouth, Zhao Yanxun said: "You didn't know at the time, those black bears rushed towards me..."

"The others were all stunned. If this king hadn't been calm and composed, he raised his knife and fought with those black bears, those useless guards would all become black bears' rations!"

Zhao Yanxun just said this, but there was a "pop" sound from the opposite side of the soft couch, and it was Lin Jingyu who was holding the chess record and put a chess piece on the board.

Lin Jingyu was dressed in white at the moment, sitting by the window with the breeze blowing her hair, she looked quite fairy-like.

Turning her face sideways, Lin Jingyu looked at Zhao Yanxun who was on the soft couch, and asked with a smile: "Since the black bear is jumping at His Highness, how could it harm others?"

"This... At that time, the black bears were sprinting in all directions, and it was the place where this king attracted them!"

Lin Jingyu nodded: "The concubine knows, the prince is wise and martial, and rescued his guards!"

"You do not believe?"

"Of course the concubine believes it!" Lin Jingyu said firmly.

Putting down the plate in his hand, Zhao Yanxun got up from the soft couch, patted the food crumbs on his hands, and sighed: "You have stayed in the back house for a long time, I don't know how powerful I am!"

"Let's not say a few black bears, even if there are ten or hundreds of them, this king will be happy and fearless!"

"If you don't believe me, you can send someone outside to inquire about it, who doesn't know this king's prowess!"

The smile on Lin Jingyu's face was even wider, she put down the chess record in her hand and said: "The concubine will of course believe it, my lord, don't be angry!"

But looking at her like this, she clearly still didn't believe it, which made Zhao Yanxun very angry.

He is so awesome, but his wife doesn't believe it, which makes him feel uneasy.

But the anger in his heart just climbed a bit, and the anger was vented immediately, only to hear Zhao Yanxun laughing: "Hey... I'm really looking for trouble, what's the rush with a woman like you!"

With one hand on his waist, Zhao Yanxun stroked his forehead with the other, shaking his head again and again, "It's boring, it's boring!"

It wasn't a big deal at all, whether Lin Jingyu believed it or not, she was that Zhao Yanxun.

At this time, Lin Jingyu said: "In the eyes of my concubine, the prince's martial arts is much better than killing a few black bears!"

"So, what I admire the most is that the prince can find a way out for the people in a desperate situation. This is the real great husband!"

I have to say, this is comforting to hear.

Zhao Yanxun walked behind Lin Jingyu, supported her shoulders with both hands, leaned down and approached her ear, and said, "Those who know me, love my concubine!"

After saying that, Zhao Yanxun walked over to Lin Jingyu and sat down, looking at the chessboard.

Lin Jingyu picked up the teacup on the side, and handed it to Zhao Yanxun who was opposite the small table, saying: "It's been nearly a month of spring plowing, and although the concubines are inside the house, they also know the danger. The prince must not take it lightly!"

After receiving the teacup, Zhao Yanxun lifted the lid of the tea and took a sip, then said: "I understand all this, but going out of the city to farm, the danger cannot be avoided, so we can only avoid it as much as possible!"

"Having said that, the lord has to give more advice, so that no one will be contemptuous!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun put down his teacup, frowned and asked, "Did you... hear something?"

Lin Jingyu had indeed heard some things, that's why she kept ignoring Zhao Yanxun's ears.

"Chenqie, I did hear something!"

"Tell me!"

There are also things that I don't know, which makes Zhao Yanxun interested.

"The concubine also listened to what the maids said. As for whether it is true or not, the prince has to check it out!"

Having said all that, it's clear what happened next.

Zhao Yanxun smiled and said: "Aifei just say it!"

Lin Jingyu said solemnly: "The concubine heard from the maids that those people who are farming outside can't even eat enough to eat. They have to work every day before dawn, and they can't rest until dark!"

"There are even people who have stomach problems from starvation..."

Before Zhao Yanxun interrupted, he said, "It's impossible. The food is distributed in full, and a part of it is used as a reward. How can someone not have enough to eat?"

The reason why Zhao Yanxun reacted so strongly was because he was confident enough in the system run by the palace.

There is not enough food that should be enough to eat, so where does the missing food go?Could it be that someone corrupted it?

If corruption really happened, it would be like a slap in the face to Zhao Yanxun, and a big case would implicate a group of officials.

"Since you don't have enough to eat, why don't you respond to the officials? Why don't you go to the Yamen to file a complaint?"

Faced with Zhao Yanxun's repeated questioning, Lin Jingyu didn't feel flustered at all, but replied calmly: "I asked about this too, and the maid replied that although the Shangguan had responded, the Shangguan said that the palace only sent so much food, let everyone Try to hold on!"

"All the officials have said that, and there are a few people below who dare to make trouble. It is not so easy for ordinary people to go to the yamen to sue the officials!"

In this era, it is even more difficult for the common people to sue officials, and it is even impossible to have such an idea.

Looking into Lin Jingyu's eyes, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice, "Call that maid over!"

Without fear, Lin Jingyu turned her head to the maid at the door and said, "Yun'er, go and call Xiaoqi over!"

"Yes!"

After a while, under Yun'er's leadership, the maid named "Xiaoqi" was ushered into the room.

It could be seen that the maid named Xiao Qi was very scared, and her calves were trembling when she entered the room.

If Yun'er hadn't reminded her, she might have even forgotten to salute.

"The servants kowtow to the lord, empress!"

Zhao Yanxun sat on the chair without moving, but motioned for Lin Jingyu to ask questions.

His majesty is so majestic, if he really came to ask questions, the maid Xiaoqi might not even be able to speak clearly.

"Xiaoqi, I heard you said before that someone in your neighbor went out to work in the city and was hungry. Is there such a thing?"

Lin Jingyu's easy-going voice calmed Xiao Qi's frightened heart a lot, and she thought she had made some big mistake.

Not daring to raise her head, Xiao Qi replied with a trembling voice, "I... tell my mother that there is such a thing!"

"Since they don't have enough to eat, why didn't anyone sue the officials? Don't they know that the prince will make decisions for them?"

"My lord, the food is given by the palace. Wouldn't it be against... the prince if they go to sue!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun and Lin Jingyu looked at each other. The common people would have such thoughts, which were totally unexpected to them.

In Zhao Yanxun's view, there are many yamen in the palace, which can supervise each other.

But in the eyes of the people below, the yamen and the yamen are one, and even represent Zhao Yanxun himself, so how dare they sue.

"Is everything you said true?"

Hearing the majestic and deep voice above his head, Xiao Qi was so frightened that he held his breath, so he could only reply tremblingly: "Back... back to the prince, slave... slave dare not lie!"

The hall became dead silent, Xiaoqi's heart was pounding, and beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead, she felt extremely tormented at this moment.

"You go out!"

Lin Jingyu's easy-going voice, to Xiao Qi, is like a rain after a long drought.

"Yes, the slaves retire!"
