Reborn as the favorite of the cold-faced general

The waning moon is hazy for five o'clock, and thousands of lights are lit at the forbidden gate.

The sky is about to dawn, and all the officials are already waiting outside the Jinluan Hall.

Chu Tingyun leaned casually on the vermilion colonnade, squinting his eyes and dozing off. A sudden sneeze woke him up and disturbed the other ministers beside him.

"What's wrong with General Chu?" A certain minister asked with concern.

"Fengchi." Chu Tingyun spoke concisely and did not want to say more.

"It's the beginning of winter today, General Chu has to pay attention to his health." Another minister also came up to exchange a few words, "If you catch the wind and cold, you can take a leave of absence in the early morning. Your Majesty has always favored General Chu, so I think he will not allowed."

Chu Tingyun: "..."

At this moment, the servant yelled one after another: "Shangchao—" and interrupted their conversation.

Chu Tingyun walked at the head of the military officers, watching the young emperor walk to the throne step by step, and looked at himself meaningfully, he suddenly wanted to sneeze again.

I think he has always been in excellent health and never gets sick.Last night, Ye Huaiyun was woken up by unconsciously kicking the quilt after falling asleep.As a result, the person who was recently disturbed by political affairs suddenly sat up from his sleep and kicked him off the bed.

Chu Tingyun stood up and walked over, "What's the matter?"

"Upset." Ye Huaiyun simply threw his pillow on the ground, "Leave me alone."

Chu Tingyun thought of the difficult memorials in the court hall that were as difficult as floods bursting embankments in recent days, and he didn't dare to disturb him anymore, so he thought about spending the night on the soft couch.

But the blanket covering the knees on the soft couch was thin, and it was in the air vent by the window, so it was a wind and cold coming out.

Chu Tingyun held his breath, resisting the urge to sneeze, and listened to the officials' performances one by one.

It has been more than a month since Ye Huaiyun ascended the throne, he had never felt before that Chen Chao is really... a puddle of mud.

As far as the past two days are concerned, Yushitai submitted a report, saying that civil unrest broke out in Yanchang County, a hundred miles outside of Gyeonggi Province.

When Ye Huaiyun heard this all of a sudden, he almost showed his shock while he was still in court.He asked again and again before he understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It turns out that the wind and rain in Yanchang County are not smooth, and droughts are prone to occur in summer and autumn.

Once a drought breaks out, if the government does not handle it well, the grain harvest in the farmland will not be good, and the people in the city will starve.

In the long run, poor harvests directly affect the income of farmers and they cannot pay farmland taxes.This piece of soil is not rented by anyone, and if it is left unused, there will be even less food.

This is an extremely difficult situation, and the common people have unspeakable sufferings.But the local government did not report to the imperial court for tax cuts, and even increased the heavy and miscellaneous taxes without authorization.

After so many years, the people finally couldn't bear it and smashed the government.

This matter has been debated in the court for two days, and now that many decrees on tax reduction and disaster relief have been promulgated, it is necessary to send a more prestigious official to Yanchang County to appease the hearts of the people and quell the civil unrest.

And once it comes to disaster relief, it's a lucrative job.Therefore, there was a lot of speculation in the Jinluan Hall about the selection of candidates for disaster relief.

Ye Huaiyun was upset when he heard this group of people chattering.The national treasury was not full, so he naturally didn't want to be corrupted anymore.

He rubbed his forehead, if it wasn't for the fact that one head and two heads were really big, he wouldn't have kicked Chu Tingyun out of bed in boredom last night.

Just thinking of Chu Tingyun, the man spoke in the hall.

"Everyone, stop arguing." Chu Tingyun said coolly, "I just want to ask, if each of you meets a commoner who dares to beat up even the county guard, can you beat him?"

"General Chu's words are wrong." A certain civil servant stood up in disapproval, "How can you talk about scholars' affairs so often. We should understand it with reason and emotion, so that those unscrupulous people Realized I was wrong."

Ye Huaiyun could see the disdain on Chu Tingyun's face through the twelve beaded crown.

Chu Tingyun didn't refute the man, but just followed his words and said tauntingly: "Yes, just like the sheriff of Yanchang County, he was beaten until his pants were stripped off, and he was completely reasonable."

All the ministers: "..."

Seeing that the official was choked up by him, Ye Huaiyun had no choice but to smooth things over by himself, "What does General Chu think?"

Chu Tingyun raised his head and looked at him. With just one glance, all the disdain towards the others dissipated, and he said, "Return to Your Majesty, I invite you to go to Yanchang County."

Ye Huaiyun was taken aback for a moment, he knew in his heart that Chu Tingyun was the best candidate.

Because of the civil unrest in Yanchang County, it happened in the previous life, but in the previous life, it happened when his brother was in power.

Ye Huaiyun remembered clearly that it was Chu Tingyun who sent the disaster relief official back then.But after returning to the court from Yanchang County, Chu Tingyun was impeached by the civil and military forces of the half dynasty.

Although he has ascended the throne and become emperor in this life and is capable enough to keep this person safe and sound, Ye Huaiyun is a little worried after all.

Just when Ye Huaiyun was hesitating, someone in the hall stood up and questioned him: "General Chu is going to quell the chaos, will he accidentally beat the people to death?"

Chu Tingyun turned his head and looked at the person who made the sound, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. After looking for a long time, he didn't recognize who it was, and his expression became even more disdainful. "If you have any concerns, you might as well go with me. See if they picked you up again." Will I help you before I get out of my pants?"

All the ministers: "..." No one spoke again.

Ye Huaiyun sighed silently, he really couldn't think of anyone available for this mob.Seeing Chu Tingyun's confident look, he was right after all.

In the Taiji Hall, the servants brought up one lunch after another, all made according to Chu Tingyun's favorite taste.

But the person sitting opposite didn't pick up the chopsticks after the dishes were served, instead he looked at him with his chin propped up, "Why did your Majesty hesitate in the hall just now?"

Ye Huaiyun glanced at him, "You asked knowingly."

Chu Tingyun smiled, "I know His Majesty is reluctant to part with me."

"Stop pretending to be sentimental." Ye Huaiyun said dutifully, and put a garlic scallop on the plate in front of him, "Let's eat first, and I will send the imperial doctor to take care of the wind and cold for you later."

Chu Tingyun smiled and ate the meal he had brought, then shook his head and said: "The imperial doctor doesn't need to pass on the news. I will leave the palace after lunch, and try to leave the capital before the key is released at the city gate."

"So anxious?" Ye Huaiyun raised his eyes when he heard the words. He clearly remembered that when he gave the order, he didn't ask him to leave immediately.

"This kind of thing happened when you first became the throne, and you need to solve it quickly so that you can gain prestige in the future." Chu Tingyun said: "Besides, it will take me a month to go, let's set off early, and try to come back before the winter solstice, and accompany you." You worship the heavens together."

Ye Huaiyun nodded, "That's fine, then I'll use more for lunch."

Chu Tingyun put down his chopsticks again, "That's not what I'm talking about for lunch."

Ye Huaiyun subconsciously thought that the dishes were not to his taste, so he thought for a while and said, "Whatever you want to eat, I'll ask the Imperial Dining Room to redo it."

Chu Tingyun didn't answer, instead he stood up and went around behind him, "Huaiyun... I remember you passed the filial piety period."

Ye Huaiyun: "..."

The 27 days after Emperor Daxing left was for the period of filial piety, and some of Ding You's etiquette must be observed.

Ye Huaiyun snorted, "You remember this clearly."

"Naturally, you have to remember to fill your stomach." Chu Tingyun smiled and took his hand to press his chest, and then moved it down a little bit.

Although the mouth said to fill the stomach, the place where the fingertips stayed was not the stomach.

Ye Huaiyun withdrew his hands like an electric shock, but was held even tighter by Chu Tingyun, and even his face was broken by him, and he met his eyes, "Your Majesty, I am hungry."

"..." If you are hungry and eat, watch me do it.

Chu Tingyun naturally knows which set he eats best. Ye Huaiyun was teased by this man so that his throat was dry under the bright sun. After drinking the slightly cold mushroom soup on the table, he said: "Let people go outside Keep it."

The bright yellow curtain cuts off the skylight and also covers the spring scenery.

After some tenderness, Ye Huaiyun felt a little drowsy.

When he was about to fall asleep, Chu Tingyun's rustling sound of dressing disturbed him to open his heavy eyelids, "Are you leaving?"

Chu Tingyun put on her hair crown and squatted beside him, "Although Xiaobie is better than a newlywed, this is the first time we have been apart for such a long time. Do you have anything to say to me?"

Ye Huaiyun thought for a while, "Don't kick the quilt while sleeping."

Chu Tingyun: "..."

In the final analysis, his coldness was not caused by kicking the quilt.

Ye Huaiyun pursed her lips, "Be careful all the way."

On the seventh day of October, the general Chu Tingyun was ordered by the emperor to go to Yanchang County to rebel against the people and win the hearts of the people.

During this period of time, the carved windows of the Tai Chi Hall were always open, and Ye Huaiyun could not help but look at the two sycamore trees outside the hall after approving the memorials, and the yellowed dead leaves were falling down.

The tea in hand was already cold, so Ye Huaiyun called someone in to change it, and when Xie Lan's footsteps approached, he asked, "How is Tingyun?"

"Your Majesty..." Xie Lan paused with the hand holding the teacup, reminding him: "You have asked the question for the second time today."

Ye Huaiyun thought about it for a while, and when she asked herself in the afternoon, Xie Lan's answer was: everything is going well, the civil unrest has completely subsided, and she will be able to return to the court in a few days.

But now it's bedtime, several hours have passed, there should be some new news.

So Ye Huaiyun said without changing his face: "So, what's going on with Tingyun now?"

Xie Lan had a strange look on her face, her lips were pursed, she seemed to have something difficult to say, and she didn't want to say it.

Seeing his appearance, Ye Huaiyun knew that there must be other news.And he subconsciously recalled his previous life, thinking that Chu Tingyun was in some danger, immediately stood up from the dragon chair, grabbed Xie Lan's wrist through the cloth, and said nervously: "What's wrong with him?"

Xie Lan lowered her eyes and hesitated for a while, "Brother, he...brought a man back from Yanchang County."

Ye Huaiyun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and then let go of his hand.

And Xie Lan added: "Brother, take him by your side at any time."

Ye Huaiyun: "..."

It is impossible for him to think too much.

Based on his understanding of Chu Tingyun, if he brings back a man, most likely this man is a useful talent, or there is some important secret hidden in him.

Ye Huaiyun immediately realized, "Chu Tingyun asked you to answer like this?"

"I know I'm wrong." Xie Lan lowered her head in embarrassment, and then said seriously: "It's a young man who is the leader of the riot, named Han Jiu. He is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but his martial arts are already good. And he has a keen mind. The senior brother wants to train him to be a deputy."

Ye Huaiyun smiled helplessly, and he guessed it.

Xie Lan asked again: "It's getting late, is Your Majesty going to rest?"

"No hurry." Ye Huaiyun waved his hand and said, "I passed on two of the concubines of the imperial brothers who were previously placed in the West Sixth Palace."

"Ah? Your Majesty, you..." Xie Lan was taken aback, looking at the night sky above the moon, full of doubts.But he felt that it was inappropriate to spy on the emperor's intentions, so he finally swallowed the words and asked instead, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

Ye Huaiyun said: "Those who have read some books should be smarter."

[The author has something to say: the style of painting in the next two chapters will change... As for what it will be, let's leave a suspense first, at least I think it's okay...
