Yang's pear blossoms were also crying: "Mrs. Mingjian, not long after my concubine was sent to the gentleman, I caught up with him and kept my filial piety for three years. I am not afraid of my wife's jokes when I say it. Today, my concubine is still innocent. I have been separated from you for many years, and my husband will definitely forget about my concubine, Madam, please take pity on me, take me with you and go to the capital together."

I stroked my forehead and said, "Don't cry, it's giving me a headache."

Against the backdrop of these two, Zhao Lingrong and Aunt Xue looked much cuter.

In the end, I accepted them and would go to discuss the matter with Chen Luo, and the two housekeepers left with gratitude.

Trouble is nothing but trouble, but I will still do what I was supposed to do, so I went to the study to find Chen Luo that night, and after a few gossips, I mentioned the matter.

When I mentioned it, I didn't specifically mention Yang and Mo, but directly mentioned all the concubines, and expressed my satisfaction with Zhao Lingrong and Xue.

If I really want to bring people, I would rather bring these two people with me. Zhao Lingrong is beautiful and dexterous, and even if it is used as a decoration, it is pleasing to the eye. What trouble.

Chen Luo raised her head from the scroll when she heard the words, and said lightly, "The capital is expensive, and they have no place to live when they go."

I:"……"

Well, the capital city is indeed worth every inch of land.

The rule of the Shang Dynasty is that officials will be assigned official houses, which are usually near the office. The size of the official house is determined according to the size of the official position, and it is stipulated that family members are not allowed to stay.If there is a Beijing official who brings his family to Beijing, he needs to set up another house in the city.

However, it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land and money in the capital is not an exaggeration. Most officials would not be able to buy a decent house in the capital for a lifetime with just that little salary. Therefore, there are not a few officials who have rented houses in the capital all their lives.

Liu Dexuan, the former prime minister of the Shang Dynasty, was a well-known eloquent and upright official. When the late emperor was there, he was almost dismissed by his merciless admonition several times. But after Liu Dexuan died, the late emperor went to offer his condolences. Only to find out that the prime minister of the first dynasty actually lived in a remote alley in the capital, and he couldn't even carry the emperor's sedan chair in.

"Then I..."

"There is still a place where you live."

Oh.

I thought of something, and asked again: "The house in the capital is completely ready? I mean, the husband should have just bought the house. There should be a lot of repairs?"

"It was sold two months ago, and the servants and furniture are all available, just waiting for us to move in."

Chen Luo looked at me and said with a smile, "Could it be that Madam doesn't want to go to Beijing with me?"

His tone was gentle, but I could hear a hint of threat.

I laughed dryly and said, "Hehe, how is it possible?"

So, ten days later, I successfully appeared in the boundary of the capital.

Chen Luo's house in the capital city was naturally not as big as Tianshui Villa, but overall it was not bad.The first is that it is located in Yong'an Lane, which is the area closest to the center of the capital in the residential area. The second is that the house is not too small, with a total of six main rooms and a yard.The family of Prince Xima who lives next door, three generations live in a small courtyard with four rooms.

Mrs. Xiao next door was quite polite to me when we first moved here, but after hearing that Chen Luo was only a seventh-rank official, she became obviously indifferent——Prince Xima is a third-rank official.

I also asked Chen Luo about this matter: "Is our house a little out of proportion to your official position?"

At that time, Chen Luo had just taken over the post of Hanlin editor, and had to deal with a lot of official business. Hearing this, he replied to me without even raising his head: "Even if I don't buy this house, people will know that I am Chen from Tianshui Villa sooner or later." Luo's, not to mention... how can I have the heart to let my wife come to the capital to accompany me to suffer?"

One sentence left me speechless.

So the matter was revealed.

Although the Chen residence in the capital is not as beautiful as Tianshui Villa, it has many advantages, such as the absence of my grandmother and Mrs. Mu, there is no morning and evening routine, and I can sleep until I wake up naturally every day. Come on, therefore, I live comfortably in the capital.

In the past, when Chen Luo was not an official, although I had been paying attention to the news in the court, I didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it rarely affected me or the Jinyu Pavilion.But now that Chen Luo has entered the officialdom, and I am tied to him now, I have to inquire more.

In the past one or two months, the situation in the court has undergone great changes. First, several important officials under King Hui, who had always been favored, were removed. Prince Zhiyuan, who had been neglected for several years, was called back and ordered him to be the supervisor of the country.

Gu Zhiyuan did not return to the political center for six years. During these six years, the princes and party officials who held important positions in the court were squeezed out by King Hui's people in various ways. Gu Zhiyuan led businessmen twice. The country's army repelled foreign enemies, and there was a lot of response among the generals, but the high-ranking civil servants were generally the ones who could talk in the court, and the power of the Prince's Party in this area was almost blank. Fortunately, the Huiwang Party has also been affected recently. Frustrated, I don't have time to be a demon for the time being.

I don't know if there are Gu Zhiyuan among the officials who made up.

Judging from Hu Zongbing's incident, Chen Luo is definitely a prince|party, so when I look at things now, I basically take the position of a prince|party.

At the beginning of May, the Qin Tianjian calculated that the area around the River River would be rainy this year, which might cause disasters.The Shushui spans the entire south-central part of the Shang Kingdom and is the main water vein of the Shang Kingdom.In the history of the Shang Dynasty, there were three floods, causing countless casualties. The most recent one was more than 50 years ago, when the first emperor was in power.

Gu Zhiyuan submitted a letter to the emperor suggesting that the king ordered the strengthening of the dam, but Hui Wang objected, saying that since the beginning of spring, most of the Shang Kingdom's territory has been sunny every day, and it is almost becoming a drought. Before the prison, it was not when there was no miscalculation, and at the end of the sentence, he still did not forget to hurt Gu Zhiyuan, saying that she made a fuss out of a molehill and was a woman's heart.

In the end, the king didn't adopt Gu Zhiyuan's suggestion, but just comforted her symbolically, obviously he was persuaded by King Hui.

However, from the end of June, the northern part of Shang country continued to be hot and dry, while the southern area began to rain continuously.At the beginning of July, a certain section of the dam in the river was unable to withstand the impact of more than ten days of continuous torrential rain, and the torrential flood swallowed nearby towns and villages in an instant.By mid-July, the rain had not slowed down, but was increasing. More and more flood defenses were washed away, causing countless deaths and injuries.

The capital is located in the northern part of Shang Kingdom, and has not been affected by the flood yet, but refugees from the flood-affected areas in the south-central area have been found, and there have been several refugee riots, but they were all suppressed by force in the capital .

But the rest of the north was not as lucky as the capital. The government did not have enough troops to suppress it, and the refugees rioted several times a day.

In this regard, the imperial court had no choice but to open the treasury and distribute food and clothing to appease the refugees for the time being.

The rain in the south did not stop intermittently until August. What is more strange is that it seems that the rain in the entire Shang country is concentrated in the south-central area. The capital and even the entire north have not fallen since the New Year. a drop of rain.

After the flood, disaster relief work followed.

The king threw this hot potato to Gu Zhiyuan, and asked the prime minister to assist him.

In the past few days, not only the prince, who is on duty, is busy, but also the entire Imperial Academy. Chen Luo has been going out early and returning late for several days in a row. After returning, the lights in the study room are often on all night. Then, before I wake up, He left again, so although I slept in the same bed every night, I didn't see him for several days.

This kind of day lasted for seven or eight days, and it was not until the evening of the ninth day that I finally had dinner with him.
