He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

When the right minister made the report, his voice was a little trembling. Generally speaking, it would not be a good thing to hurry up for eight hundred miles. Reporting bad news at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet would bring bad luck to the Queen Mother.

But the news has been rushed to Beijing for 800 miles. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet has come to an end and can still be delayed for an hour and a half, but it is only halfway through. The right minister dare not delay. The Queen Mother's birthday is important, but the court's important events are more important. It's important, even if he is the right prime minister, he can't afford it if it delays a major event.

In the hall, there was singing and dancing, and people drank and drank.

As soon as the right minister informed the emperor, the singing, dancing, and wind music stopped. Everyone looked at each other in shock. With Fu Shu in front of him, they all had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Shen Wan sat next to Xie Jingyan, feeling inexplicably nervous. The bad news about Meizhou in the previous life was only delivered to Beijing three days after the Queen Mother's birthday party. How could it be delivered so quickly in this life?

The right minister felt that the eight hundred taels were urgent and needed to be dealt with immediately. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet could be postponed for a while, and the emperor was even less likely to delay. He immediately said, "Send it up."

The young father-in-law withdrew, and after a while, a guard entered the palace holding an urgent and secret letter of 800 taels high, and knelt down to present it to the emperor.

The right minister took the bamboo tube containing the secret letter. After confirming that it was correct, he opened it and took out the memorial from the bamboo tube, and then Eunuch Yuan presented it to the emperor for inspection.

The emperor took the memorial, opened it, glanced at it, and frowned.

The emperor's eyes quickly glanced over the memorial. When he saw the middle of the memorial, his frown relaxed a little. He glanced in the direction of Shen Yuan and Xie Jingyan, and then continued. At the end, his brows furrowed into knots.

The Queen Mother asked, "What happened in Meizhou?"

The emperor said, "An earthquake occurred in Meizhou five days ago."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is it serious?"

The emperor said, "The magnitude of the earthquake was even greater than the one in Qingzhou twenty years ago, and it happened at midnight."

The already quiet main hall became audibly quiet after hearing the emperor's words.

All the civil and military officials looked at each other.

For the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, only fourth-rank officials are qualified to bring their families into the palace for the banquet. Those who can be fourth-rank officials must be in their thirties at least. Even if they were not in the court, they should have heard about the earthquake in Qingzhou twenty years ago. However, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured, and it happened in broad daylight.

The Meizhou earthquake was no smaller than the one in Qingzhou, and it happened late at night, when everyone was sleeping. Just thinking about it made the civil and military officials shudder.

At this moment, Meizhou is probably already a hell on earth.

and many more.

The emperor's expression didn't seem that sad, angry or worried...

The Queen Mother felt that holding this birthday banquet was worse than not holding it. Forget about Fu Shu's accident, the Meizhou earthquake also caught up. The Queen Mother was exhausted and asked, "How are the casualties in Meizhou?"

The emperor glanced at Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan again, and then said, "Be prepared for the earthquake in Meizhou in advance, and the casualties should be controlled within a thousand people."

...Why are there still thousands of people killed?

Shen Wan felt that this number was too high, and the Queen Mother was pleased and said, "In the earthquake in Qingzhou that year, tens of thousands of people died and many more were injured. Meizhou officials are indispensable for reducing the number of casualties to such a low level." , the emperor must reward you heavily..."

Shen Wan felt very uncomfortable hearing this. The official circles in Meizhou were almost all members of the eldest prince and Duke Mao. It was not known what would happen after the earthquake in Meizhou. The queen mother did not want to ask the emperor to send people to provide disaster relief as soon as possible, so she first took care of herself. People ask for rewards.

The Emperor did not wait for the Queen Mother to finish her words, but directly raised his hand to interrupt the Queen Mother's words, "The prefect of Meizhou and several important officials have been killed in the earthquake."

Queen Mother, "..."

The Queen Mother's face was stiff.

Duke Mao's expression changed drastically.

The civil and military officials were at a loss.

Since they had taken precautions and minimized the damage from the earthquake, why did the Meizhou prefect and several important officials die in the earthquake?

Thinking that after the Meizhou granary was burned, the King of Jin suspected that the leakage of the granary was unusual. The fourth master of Zuo Xiangfu stepped forward and requested an order to go to Meizhou to investigate the case of the granary leakage...

It is not certain whether the Meizhou magistrate's death was an accident or man-made.

Duke Mao stood up and said, "God bless Chu, the casualties in this earthquake in Meizhou were relatively light, but the prefect of Meizhou was unfortunately killed, and we need to send a prefect as soon as possible to take charge of disaster relief..."

Before Duke Mao Guo finished speaking, Zuo Xiang said, "Don't worry, Duke Mao. My younger brother was ordered to go to Meizhou to investigate the granary leakage case. Meizhou suffered an earthquake and the prefect was killed. My younger brother will shoulder the responsibility of the magistrate."

Duke Mao Guo looked very ugly. Prime Minister Zuo wanted to get involved in the officialdom of Meizhou, but he would never agree.

The two started arguing in the palace.

The emperor said, "Don't fight anymore, they have all been killed."

These words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue to Prime Minister Zuo and Queen Song.

The fourth master of Song Dynasty is not a concubine, he is the biological brother of the left prime minister and the empress of Song Dynasty.

The magistrate of Meizhou is the natal nephew of the old lady of the Duke of Mao, and a confidant of Duke Mao. If the Meizhou granary is leaked, he will be suspected of embezzlement and reselling of grain and grass. As long as the evidence of the crime is conclusive, even if the Duke of Mao is the natal family of the Queen Mother, the Emperor will He would not tolerate it, even being demoted was considered a minor matter. Without the support of the Mao Kingdom Government, the eldest prince would be helpless and would no longer have the strength to compete with Xie Jingyin for the position of crown prince.

Whether Xie Jingyin can bring down the eldest prince depends on whether he can find evidence from Meizhou. The matter is so important that he must send the most reliable person. Empress Song and the Prime Minister decided to send the fourth master of Song Dynasty.

Who could have thought that this would be a farewell forever...

When she was copying Buddhist scriptures a few days ago, Queen Song felt a little uneasy. She only thought that she was being plotted by Princess Ling, and she was unwilling to do so, but she didn't expect that it was the connection between flesh and blood relatives.

Queen Song burst into tears.

The hall fell into silence again.

Until Duke Mao Guo spoke up, "Both the prefect of Meizhou and Master Song were killed in this earthquake, so we have to send people to provide disaster relief..."

The emperor raised his hand to interrupt Duke Mao, "There are people in Meizhou who are responsible for disaster relief. The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is important today, and the rest will be discussed at court tomorrow morning."

Things have happened again and again, and the Queen Mother is still in the mood to celebrate her birthday. But the Queen Mother is not in the mood, and the Emperor is.

Such an earthquake, not to mention that it was completely resolved, only caused thousands of casualties. It can really be said to be a blessing from God.

No one from the civil and military officials dared to displease the emperor, so the birthday banquet remained the same.

It’s time to eat, it’s time to drink.

It's just that the civil and military officials were enjoying the singing and dancing on their faces, but in their hearts they were thinking about taking sides.

In the past, the King of Jin was more powerful, but in the past few months, the eldest prince has been gradually overpowering the King of Jin. Now something happened to the fourth master of Song Dynasty, and the Zuo Xiangfu suffered heavy losses, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the King of Jin and ended the relationship with the King of Jin. Two ribs is not an exaggeration.

The fight between the eldest prince and Prince Jin has reached a life-and-death situation. It's hard to say who will win in the end.

The Queen Mother was tired and asked her nanny to help her back to Shoukang Palace to rest.

The emperor and the officials stood up to see the queen mother off.

After the Queen Mother left, the Emperor said, "The birthday banquet ends here."

The emperor raised his feet and left. After the officials saw him off respectfully, they stepped out of the hall and prepared to leave the palace.

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan walked out of the Antai Palace together. She felt like a cat was scratching her heart. She wanted to know who the emperor said was responsible for the disaster relief in Meizhou. Could this person be referring to her eldest brother?

She was also anxious that her eldest brother would return to Beijing. Since he was responsible for disaster relief, she didn't know when he would be able to come back.

There were people everywhere. Shen Wan wanted to ask Xie Jingyan, but she couldn't open her mouth. She wanted to go back to the palace as soon as possible.

However, just after leaving the main hall and walking a few steps, the young father-in-law came over and said, "Prince Ling, Princess Ling, the emperor asked you to go to the imperial study room."
