The Prince of Rebirth has an evil smile

The.
Facing Lin Muzhi's eyes, Suo Fu ran out knowingly.After exhorting a few words to the chief guard, the latter summoned the guards looking for Lin Muzhi, and went to patrol the night in a team.
Sighing lightly, the Chief Manager was really worried about His Majesty the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, go back to the bedroom and rest."
Back at the corner, seeing Lin Muzhi's appearance, Suo Fu didn't dare to ask any more questions.His Majesty the Emperor nodded, as he agreed, but Lin Muzhi never spoke, and walked to the Dragon Hall accompanied by Suo Fu.
With the lighting of the lantern, the field of vision becomes clearer, and the road ahead can be seen clearly, but the haze in my heart is still difficult to dispel.
=====
The winter this year was indeed not cold, and spring came early.
But without the transition of cold winter, spring is not so attractive.
Without the forging of the cold winter, the body's immunity has declined. Unfortunately, Lin Muzhi fell ill in this spring when all things were revived.
In fact, these days, under Han Qi's recuperation, His Majesty's body has become stronger, at least not as obvious as the external strength and internal weakness.But how could Fubaisan's deficient body be able to support it all at once.After drinking the decoction for a month, he couldn't resist the first cold snap in spring.
In the court, there are quite a few "delicate and frail" people like Lin Muzhi.Although the morning morning is not every day, but from time to time someone will ask for sick leave or something.
So far, Junxie's three-month confinement has passed, but he still cannot go out.After that night, Lin Muzhi discussed with Taigong Mu and added an imperial decree, which finally locked Junsaliva firmly in Prince Rong's mansion.
This decree was issued quickly, and coupled with the fact that there was no one to refute the punishment during the Shangyuan Festival, the decree was issued without giving Jun Xiyipai any chance to speak.
I don't know if it was because of Lin Muzhi's words that the hero was exposed prematurely. Anyway, Junxi has never appeared in front of him until now.
……
"Your Majesty, the Nanman children frequently come to harass and plunder the small kingdoms that belong to me, how can I sit idly by and do nothing!"
On this day, there was great commotion in the court, and several generals were very dissatisfied with the actions of the foreign races in the south mentioned in the Laijing Express.In fact, those foreigners have not been provoking for a day or two. The reason why these people have such a big reaction now is that they are dissatisfied with Lin Muzhi's will to block the king's saliva.
Due to the majesty of the royal family, the minister did not dare to refute immediately, so he waited for a month. Anyway, Prince Rong was going to be banned for three months.
Junxi has guarded the south for many years, coupled with his astonishing achievements in martial arts, naturally there are many friends and alliances there.The generals who fought on the battlefield and made great achievements in battle are all people with well-developed limbs and high martial arts skills.
Generally, well-developed limbs also correspond to a simple mind, so when civil servants choose to remain silent, these generals stand up to fight against injustices.
"Master Li, what does this mean?"
Prime Minister Zuo stepped forward, bowed to Lin Muzhi, and asked the general who spoke.
Prime Minister Zuo and Taiwei Li, the head of a civil servant and the head of a military general, these two have been arguing for not a year or two, from Emperor Hongzong's reign to the replacement of the dragon chair, isn't it not long? .
"I just can't bear the suffering of Daqi's people, and I need to show those southern barbarians a look."
"you…"
"The group of people in the south has never been quiet. Why is Li Aiqing so concerned about the border people this year, and cares about all people?"
Before Prime Minister Zuo could reply, Lin Muzhi opened his mouth.The cadence and tone are calm and unpredictable.The longer you stay on the Golden Dragon Throne, the more you will understand this court and be able to stand up to the majesty of the emperor.
Prime Minister Zuo was very satisfied with Lin Muzhi's transformation.Seeing that the little emperor was becoming more and more like a wise emperor, living up to the trust of the former emperor, it also strengthened the confidence of Zuo Cheng and other officials to stand on Lin Muzhi's side.
Compared with Hongze Emperor Junrui, Prince Rong Junxi was indeed more decisive and mature in dealing with things, but he also revealed a bit of ruthlessness.
Daqi is in its prime, the emperor is benevolent enough to encourage governance, and he is an extremely human minister, so why bother to set off a storm in the court.If it can be stable, smooth sailing is naturally the best.
Prime Minister Zuo glanced at Li Taiwei, smiled, and respectfully said to Lin Muzhi above: "People on the battlefield have spent half their lives in bloody storms. Master Li wants to make another contribution to Daqi."
"Although the bones of the veteran are rotten, as long as the emperor gives an order, the armor and sword will go into battle, no worse than those younger generations." General Li squinted at the left prime minister, which is considered a 'reward': "However, the pacification of the Nanman matter, there is an official in the court. A better candidate than the veteran."
"Oh? I wonder if there is anyone else in the court that makes Li Aiqing, who has been fighting the battlefield for many years, feel ashamed." Although he had already guessed who General Li planned to recommend, Lin Muzhi also pretended to be at a loss.
"Prince Rong has been guarding the border for three years, and he knows more about the barbarians in the south, so he is naturally a better candidate."
Although Li Taiwei has been an official for most of his life, he is a person who fights on the battlefield after all. He is good at using soldiers and fighting wars, and he is used to speaking straightforwardly.
"So, what Li Aiqing means is to send Prince Rong to suppress the bandits."
On the dragon chair, Lin Muzhi tapped his fingers lightly, beating the time bit by bit.
"Li Taiwei's words are too inappropriate. Let's not say that Prince Rong's collusion with other races is still being investigated. Just say how many barbarians there are in the southern border defense, and what troubles can arise?"
"My lord prime minister doesn't know that the tribes in the south have already formed a large scale. If they are not suppressed in time, they will pose a serious threat in the future. Doesn't the alliance in the north explain the problem? Besides, the group in the south has always been at odds with me, Daqi. If... "
"What Ai Qing said is very true."
Interrupting Taiwei Li's eloquence, Lin Muzhi interrupted.
"So, just do what Li Taiwei said."
"Your Majesty, Prince Rong is wearing a sinful body, how can..."
"You have to give him a chance to make meritorious service, don't you?" He frowned, not looking at Prime Minister Zuo's wrinkled old face.
Junxi is indeed a 'heinous crime', but it is Lin Muzhi's willfulness to let him pacify the southern border.But this is not to make Junxiu make up for his mistakes, but simply to stay away from Junxiu.
Although he also knew that it would be best to keep Junxi in the palace like this, but who knew when such a skilled person would break into the palace again and make him feel uneasy.
And maybe the next time, it will directly burn down the Dragon Yin Hall.
Besides, since Jun Xi is the hero and has experience, nothing should happen.Telling myself this over and over again, now the male lead is finally gone.
The emperor has said this, and the decree can be regarded as issued, and Prime Minister Zuo can't do anything if he doesn't agree.Not intending to continue to obstruct, he stepped back and listened to Li Taiwei's report to Lin Muzhi on the military strategy and military planning.
You said something to me, and you were so busy all morning. It was already past lunch time by the time you drafted a will and conveyed it.After the morning court, Lin Muzhi went directly into the imperial study room, bored in it, and didn't plan to go out in a short time.
It stands to reason that it takes a long time to prepare for marching and fighting, but this time the materials needed are not many, and there are few people. Coupled with the emperor's urging and attention, it only took less than two days to prepare everything.
In the past two days, Lin Muzhi has always stayed where there are many people. Even when he went to bed at night, he stayed with Suofu by his bedside. Quan'er guards, such defensive guards are really unprecedented.
After leaving Long Yi, Lin Muzhi didn't know who the Yulongwei around him had changed, and he didn't have much interest in knowing now.Even if Yulongwei is by his side, he is just a bodyguard, so why do he need to know his name.
Besides, seeing each other more times, it is hard not to develop feelings.
====
Outside the Longde Hall, two rows of guards were neatly erected. On this day, Prince Daqi went out to pacify the Nanman, with a strong formation and excellent equipment.
Jun Xi's long hair stood up high, he was dressed in fine Lin iron armor, long black leather boots, and a long red cloak behind him, expressionless.Standing under the steps and watching the position of the sun move a little bit, finally, the drum of Lijing sounded.
Looking back at the top of the steps, there was still no one there.
Seeing no disappointment, Jun Xie just showed an unclear smile, got on his horse, and left the capital all the way without looking back.
☆, natural and man-made disasters
39.
In the imperial study room, Lin Muzhi was sitting at the table with a cup of tea in his hand, his eyes were blank and he didn't know where he was looking.
"emperor?"
Suo Fu leaned over and saw Lin Muzhi holding a cup of cold tea in a daze, so he called out cautiously.In fact, as early as two days ago, His Majesty the Emperor of his family started to go wrong when he returned from his retreat. He was worried and didn't know what he was thinking.
"kindness."
Lin Muzhi responded, his eyes were still empty, and he raised his hand and poured down the cold tea.
"Cough cough..."
"Oh my lord!"
I was used to drinking hot tea and warm water, but was so cold by the sudden drop in temperature that I choked on the water without paying attention.Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor choked on water, which was fine, Suo Fu hurriedly turned to the other side of Lin Muzhi to pat him on the back.
Suo Fu's position as chief executive became smoother and smoother, and he did many things that should be done and should not be done. Compared with a servant, he was more like a busy little nanny, surrounding Lin Muzhi all day long.
Finally, Lin Muzhi put down the teacup, pushed it away, cleared his throat, looked at the sky outside, and asked unhurriedly, "Suofu, is it noon?"
"Yes, it's out of time." Suo Fu replied, replacing the tea that was pushed away by Lin Muzhi, and putting it in a suitable position.
"Then... today's army, is it starting now?"
"Your Majesty, Prince Rong's army is probably already some distance away from the capital."
"En, I see." Lin Muzhi wanted to ask something more, but finally chose to shut up.
As the emperor, he is qualified to send the army on an expedition, and having the emperor in person means he attaches great importance to the battle.For soldiers in the army, seeing off from the emperor is also an honor.But after hesitating for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor still chose to stay safely in the imperial study.
In the end, it wasn't because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare.
No matter which aspect it was, against Shang Junxiu, he was completely defeated.Moreover, as described in those romance novels, sending your sweetheart away is always the beginning of BE, those scumbags who said 'wait for me back', which one can come back.
With a sigh, my heart was troubled, but there was nothing I could do.
On the day that Prince Rong's army left, His Majesty the Emperor dragged his servants and drank a night's worth of wine in the Dragon's Hall. After all, he had vented enough of the little unwillingness in his heart. After eating and drinking and falling asleep , finally attributed everything to tranquility.
After a short sigh, the long days still have to be the same.Completely freed from those messy thoughts, and without being disturbed by the king's saliva, Lin Muzhi can finally perform his duties with peace of mind.
With a vast area and a large population, the Great Qi Dynasty is still a country dominated by agriculture no matter how it develops.The first emperor Hongzong was able to govern Daqi so far and make the country prosperous. While his own ability is outstanding, he should also thank God for his good weather.
As a modern person who has learned advanced scientific and cultural knowledge, Lin Muzhi also knows a little bit about agriculture, but understanding is understanding, and just knowing a little does not mean that he has really practiced it.In the busy urban life, no matter how free you are, you will not spend a lot of money to buy a piece of open land in the city center to farm.
Not to mention money, time and effort are rare.
In this era when people depend on the sky for their food, it is the first time that Lin Muzhi truly realizes the "hardship of life".
Natural disasters and man-made disasters, the former can't prevent it.From late autumn last year to the present, there has been too little rain.The court always announces good news but not bad news. If he hadn't received this memorial, Lin Muzhi still wouldn't know the extent of the drought.
The source of this memorial is the magistrate of a local county, where the soil is fertile and the population is large, but it is far away from the town, separated by two mountains.
The county magistrate alone took charge of the four or five villages below. Originally, the crop production in the small mountain village was gratifying. In addition to supplying their own needs, they could also keep some of them and sell them for silver taels.The people in small counties do not live in excess, but they can still afford salt and meat.
But this year, the winter is not cold, and the seedlings in the field grow out early. The wheat seedlings grow too fast in winter, and their growth will decline in spring and summer.
Coupled with the fact that there has been no rain for a long time, the river has almost stopped flowing.These early seedlings did not end well.
Moreover, looking at this brochure, it is clearly reported the scene in early spring, but it was only spread to Lin Muzhi in the hot months.How much effort and how long did it take to pass on a memorial to report the truth?
It's hard to imagine.
Up to now, Junxi has been away from Beijing for more than a month, and there is no movement to suppress the barbarians in the south, and there is another problem of suppressing the situation here, which is really annoying.
What's more, the memorial remembers the scene more than two months ago. In the past two months, there has been no rain in the capital. Who knows what the disaster in the mountain county is like now.
Only by knowing the problem early can we come up with a solution early and implement it.Although Lin Muzhi dispatched officials from Beijing to investigate the situation as soon as he heard the news, the result was still disappointing.
Moreover, I really don’t know if I don’t check it, and I’m shocked when I check it.Whether it is in scope or degree, the drought in Daqi is far beyond imagination.
The cold snap in spring, a "falling spring cold", not only made Lin Muzhi sick, but also caused a large number of grain seedlings that broke out of their shells too early to suffer.
Regarding agriculture, not to mention Lin Muzhi, even the ministers of the court and China have little experience.The people who stayed in the court were all distinguished scholars, how could they know how to farm with their backs to the sky and feet on the loess.
His Majesty the Emperor, who summoned a group of officials to discuss how to fight drought and prevent disasters, was urged by a group of old officials to worship the Temple of Heaven and sincerely beg for rain.
Just a joke, is this rain what he says it can rain? Whoever said that the true dragon emperor must be a dragon, and who said that it must rain if he is a dragon?
Have you heard of Tyrannosaurus Rex? What about Triceratops?
Although I thought so in my heart, it was a tradition and a habit to worship the altar in the event of a natural disaster.
Moreover, there are really too many unknowns in this world. For example, he inexplicably traveled through a book, which Lin Muzhi himself could not explain clearly.What about ghosts and gods, who can say for sure.
However, due to the unanimous request of the courtiers, and Lin Muzhi didn't intend to set up any scientific concepts for them, he asked Wu Zhu to pick a day to go to the Temple of Heaven to worship the ancestors and reflect on his own shortcomings.
If there was any natural disaster in those dynasties with feudal tradition, it would be considered to be caused by the emperor's mistake.
Lin Muzhi thinks that he has never done anything shameful since he crossed, and he is actively studying in all aspects. If he has to criticize him, then he is not good enough, and only Junxie is the only one.
Speaking of Junxi, we have to mention the system tied to Lin Muzhi.
Originally, Lin Muzhi wanted to ask about the specific situation of the drought and when it would end, but since he left Beijing, the system bound to him seemed to have fallen into a strange dormancy, not only did he not release any more messy I can't even look through the original work to check for references.
The original tasteless system has fewer functions.However, recalling what I read carefully, it seems that the drought was not mentioned in the original novel.I don't know if the drought was caused by Lin Muzhi changing the plot himself.
It is rare for good things to come in pairs, but it is very common for bad news to come one after another.
Warm winter brings not only drought, but also pests and diseases later.Without the cold winter, people's body immunity is reduced, but it also makes other creatures live very comfortably.
At this time, it is not a butterfly that emerges from the cocoon, but a pest.
With the aggravation of "natural disasters", the imperial court paid more and more attention to this aspect.If the sky does not stop the rain, the summer of this year will be very difficult.
Leaving aside other places, as far as the palace where Lin Muzhi lives is concerned, it is very boring.
Reducing unnecessary water use is one way of mitigating the growing drought.But if you don't use it, it doesn't mean it won't evaporate.
The summer, which should have been abundant with rain, is almost over, but it still doesn't look like it's going to rain at all.The south of Daqi is okay, but the cities to the west and north of the capital are now almost unable to guarantee even the most basic water for humans and animals.
In the past, there was only a swamp left in the river, and the fields were cracked, let alone crops.
In order to avoid triggering a riot, the imperial court sent additional guards to the north in advance.It seems that Daqi's harvest this year can only be counted on the grain production in the south.In such a situation, the taxation in the north must be reduced no matter what, but the daily expenses of a big country are not small, and there are so many officials to support, Lin Muzhi wants to exempt all taxes in the north.But once they are all exonerated, the burden will be entirely on the people in the south.
Who knows how long this drought will last.
—It’s been a long time since it rained.
Standing in the imperial garden, looking at the clear sky, I can't help feeling the convenience of modern life again.It is really difficult to live a life that is almost completely dependent on the sky.If we continue to work like this, we may even reach the capital.
Stretching, accompanied by the maid of honor, I went to the Imperial Study Room.
Although the past few days have been waking up earlier and going to bed later, there are still more and more letters on the table. Although Lin Muzhi, the emperor, is only doing the work of final review and ruling, he will send it up after processing. There are really a lot of memorials and regulations stacked together.
With the index finger and middle finger together, he rubbed his temples, and there was a sudden pain in his head.Suo Fu thoughtfully handed over a cup of calming tea, just as Lin Muzhi lifted the lid of the cup, a young eunuch who passed on came into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, the people around Prime Minister Zuo are here."
"Xuan."
He raised his head to signal, lifted the lid of the cup and took a sip of water.The heat at the end of summer has not dissipated, and now Suo Fu is no longer alone in the imperial study room, but Lingxi and a few other court ladies are fanning their fans.
The well-known little eunuch retreated with his front foot, and a young man entered with his back foot - this man was exactly the guard who followed Prime Minister Zuo, and he could be regarded as Prime Minister Zuo's confidant.
"The servant kowtows to the emperor." When he entered the imperial study, the man kept his head down, holding a beautifully decorated invitation card in his hand, the colorful decoration is rare in Daqi.
"Excuse me, just speak up if you have anything to say." Lin Muzhi frowned after casting a glance at the man below.I always feel that this is not a good thing.
"Your Majesty, this is an excerpt from the Northern Territory."
With a look from Lin Muzhi, Suo Fu walked over knowingly, took the booklet from the attendant, and presented it to His Majesty the Emperor.
I reached out and touched it, only to find that this 'invitation' was actually embroidered with gold thread - when did the Northern Territory become so rich?After opening the post and glanced at it, Lin Muzhi frowned.
The temper that had been accumulated for several days finally reached its peak. His Majesty raised his hand and overturned the memorials piled up on the table. The teacup shattered and the tea spilled all over the floor.
The author has something to say: please collect~
☆, Beiyu and relatives
"Bastard!"
"emperor…"
Suo Fu leaned forward and wanted to say something more, but saw that the servants in the palace had already knelt down on the ground. Realizing this insurmountable status, he also knelt down in front of these outsiders.
The general manager who has no 'experience' doesn't know that this Emperor Hongze really hasn't lost such a big temper for a long time.The last time it happened like this was when Jun Rui dragged out all the servants in the palace and beat them to death because of a cup of herbal tea.
But at that time, it was Jun Rui who lost his temper, not the current Lin Muzhi.
Seeing the trembling looks of the surrounding maidservants, Lingxi felt a little strange, but she didn't dare to say anything more.Although she is the princess of the Great Wilderness and Lin Muzhi's close servant, but now that Chief Suo is afraid to step forward, she kneels even lower.
"You, go back and call Prime Minister Zuo here."
"The slave obeys the order."
Lin Muzhi threw aside the gold-embroidered folder, adjusted his breathing, felt tightness in his chest, and even had a headache.
"You guys, get up." Turning around, I saw people kneeling all over the room, and I felt embarrassed to slow down.Clearing his throat, His Majesty the Emperor said so.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." In response to the decree, all the servants in the imperial study, except Suo Fu, who looked worried, all shrunk their necks, trying to suppress the sense of existence, for fear that the emperor would become like before, throwing a temper tantrum , put all the people around 'change'.
"Suofu, pass on the decree and call the elders of Sangong to come to the imperial study to discuss politics."
"Yes." Suo Fu buckled his head on the ground, then stood up, and retreated worriedly.
After getting the order from the emperor, after Director Suo went out, several maids stood aside, trembling, not daring to act lightly in the face of the mess all over the place.Lingxi, on the other hand, looked at Lin Muzhi's expression quietly, saw that his expression was slightly relaxed, took a deep breath, walked to his side, squatted down, and began to clean up the fragments of teacups on the ground.
It's a pity that the fine white porcelain teacups are broken into pieces like this.
When Lingxi wrapped up the pieces and wiped off the water stains on the ground with a handkerchief, Suo Fu, who had gone to pass the decree, had already returned.
These three princes are the confidants of the former Emperor Hongzong, and the eldest Mu Taigong has assisted three generations of emperors.He is highly respected and respected.As for the other Prime Minister Zuo, the prime minister who 'betrayed' the hero has already gained Lin Muzhi's trust.
After being summoned by the emperor, the four came to the Imperial Study Room and saluted Lin Muzhi.The latter waved away the servants in the palace, leaving only Suofu, exempting the four of them, and ordered Suofu to hand over a booklet.
——The pattern is unique, inlaid with gold thread, it is the one that passed through the hands of Prime Minister Zuo.
Prime Minister Zuo took the memorial from Suo Fu with both hands, held it in his hand, and stared at San Gong.
The invitation cards for the memorials of the vassal states were sent directly to the emperor, and even the prime minister who assisted in the administration was not qualified to read them.Therefore, as soon as the zhezi was in the hands of Prime Minister Zuo, he asked his confidant to send it to Lin Muzhi.
I have received a lot of greetings from other countries before, but this time I saw that this book was extraordinarily grand, so I was in a hurry to give it to Lin Muzhi. If not for this, I am afraid that it will not be shipped together until the other memorials are processed.
"This... this is from the Northern Territory, Your Majesty..."
Holding a gold thread booklet in his hand, Prime Minister Zuo hesitated to ask, not daring to read it without authorization.
"It's okay, just open it and see for yourself."
Lifting his chin as a gesture, Prime Minister Zuo opened the booklet and read it with Elder Sangong.Only then did he understand the reason for the ugly face of the emperor in front of him.
"This……"
"Northern Territory's courtship brings closer the relationship between Daqi and Northern Territory. The current drought is severe and the southern barbarians are not peaceful. Since Northern Territory asks for it, it means that they are willing to be Daqi's ministers. Why should the emperor be angry?"
Before Prime Minister Zuo could speak, Grandpa Mu responded with airs.After the words were finished, it did not relieve Lin Muzhi's mood, but instead made His Majesty's face darker.And Suo Fu, who was standing aside and waiting, was also shocked when he heard the news.
It's easy to put it bluntly.But on that brochure, what was asked for was the real princess.
Fu Yue is the only princess who is a direct relative.
Emperor Hongzong's heirs are thin, the imperial power struggle of the previous generation was very fierce, and the offspring of the royal family declined. Up to now, there is not even a suitable age replacement in the clan.
It's annoying to say that the drought in Daqi is so severe, but because of the mountain range, the weather in the northern region is still smooth.Clear water and grass fertilizer is a happy year for that kind of nomadic people.
"This matter, I'm afraid we can't refuse, after all, the Northern Territory is our biggest ally." Zhang Taigong on the side added Mu Taigong's words: "If it was before, when the Northern Territory was a three-point gang, it would be easier to say, now... "
"So the intention of the two lovers is, do you want the princess to marry and get married?" Sighing, Lin Muzhi asked in a calm tone, unacceptable to the words of the two important ministers.
What Daqi needs now is peace and development. The Northern Territory, which was once divided into three gangs and allies, is not in trouble, but within a few days of this year, news of the reunification of the Northern Territory came from the north.That's right, it is no longer an alliance of connected interests, but a true unity.
It's just how could Lin Muzhi marry Fu Yue.
Leaving aside the long distance and the uncertain environment of the nomads over there, what Lin Muzhi cares most about is that the lord of the Northern Territory is an old man over sixty years old.It's not that she discriminates against the elderly. If Fu Yue really married and called that domain master grandpa, she wouldn't be too old.
Fu Yue is not some unfavored princess, but Lin Muzhi's beloved sister, why should she give it away.
In addition, when hunting in winter, he had a very unfriendly impression of the people from the Northern Territory that he met by chance, so Lin Muzhi was even more reluctant.
"How dare ministers and others dare to make rash comments on such a major matter. The emperor is still in charge. Ministers and others are just expressing their own opinions. I believe that the emperor summoned us here to analyze the pros and cons."
There is absolutely no reason to refute Mr. Mu's words.What they said is indeed quite correct. From the perspective of an emperor, why not do it for a friendly alliance that can be exchanged for a woman.
"Wei Chen also thinks so. At present, the southern barbarians are frequently invading, and Daqi has always been friendly with the three kingdoms of the northern region. Now that the drought is lingering, it is very appropriate to consolidate the friendly relationship with the northern region through marriage. Besides, Anthracene Princess Li is fifteen years old, and has reached the age for marriage."
In addition to Wang Taigong who just spoke, the elders of Sangong all expounded their views.Elder Sangong, whose tone of voice is opposite almost every time, is the first time to have unity of opinion in speech, which is very rare.
"This is the case in the Northern Territory. What if there are other places that propose a marriage after that?" Lin Muzhi frowned, expressing his disapproval of the unanimous approval of the three votes.
"God bless me, Daqi, the royal family has something to do. This matter in the Northern Territory, I am afraid that the envoys will visit at the end of the year, and it will be like this after seeing Princess Daqi's demeanor. Your Majesty has always treated people generously, but it may be a good thing for the princess to join the Northern Territory Princess Anli married the Northern Territory, the status of the main wife of the domain lord is so noble, and it will not be comparable to those who marry in the future."
Seeing Lin Muzhi's hesitant look, Prime Minister Zuo bowed and said.
"Prime Minister is right, maybe this book is just a test. The marriage is a matter of big or small, but if it is refused, it will inevitably hurt the friendship, and the gain will not be worth the loss." See Prime Minister Zuo also sent Having said that, Grandpa Mu added another sentence.
Although it is very reasonable, marriages have existed in almost all dynasties, but this is related to the lifelong happiness of my sister.
"So, the four lovers all think so. The princess of Daqi must marry?"
"I know that the emperor loves Princess Anli very much, but this marriage has advantages and disadvantages, and it also finds a good home for the princess." Seeing that Lin Muzhi is in a bad mood, Wang Taigong said as if to comfort him.
"Let's put this aside for now."
Seeing the earnest looks of the four people below, Lin Muzhi sighed.
These people were convened to discuss, just to let them all know that there is such a thing, anyway, whether to marry or not in the end is decided by one's own imperial decree.
The purpose of coming to these ministers of the older generation is mainly to hear their suggestions.If it was before, it would not be a big problem to ignore this matter. At that time, there were still three points in the Northern Territory. The princess didn't know who to talk to in the past. Da Qi was safe and sound, and Lin Muzhi's waist was stiff.
But now it really can't, Daqi is indeed in a state of distress, there is drought and pests, if it doesn't rain, there may be a riot.
"Yes, I just hope that the emperor can make up his mind as soon as possible. Judging from this posture and the degree of importance, the Northern Territory is well prepared." The four of them conveyed their eyes very tacitly, and they also attached great importance to this matter.
"Well, I see."
Lin Muzhi let out a sigh when Prime Minister Zuo and the others left.Think about it, the Northern Territory doesn't have that much capability, so what about a small area that has just been unified.
Compared with this, what is more important now is that it will rain.
After some discussion, although the mood was not good, it was calmed down a lot.Anyway, no matter what, Lin Muzhi would not marry Fu Yue to an old man.He is also a grumpy old man—he is a tall and strong man from the Northern Territory, so he must have a grumpy temper, just like the few people he met last time on the snowy mountain outside Mushuang City.
Sure enough, it was because of his changes to the plot that Fu Yue's fate changed so much.
If there was a marriage in the original work, it wouldn't have been mentioned without a word.Marriage is also considered a big event, how can we not let the hero and heroine show the limelight and have an emotional scene or something.
Think here.Lin Muzhi suddenly realized that he still held a 'big card' in his hand.
As a guess, looking at the pattern on this booklet, the type style is very similar to the confidant described in the original novel.Fortunately, as written in the novel, Rongyue's natal family ruled the Northern Territory.It's just a little early.
From this point of view, the lost daughter of the only princess in the Northern Territory, the granddaughter of the domain lord, is still in his hands.
——Thank you so much, Mistress.
The author has something to say: Mr. Frog, who died in catching insects, needs a bottle of insecticide...
☆, envoys enter Beijing
In the original work, the old man... no, after the domain lord ruled over the Northern Territory, Jun Sali made Rongyue recognize her relatives in the Northern Territory.With such a status, marrying the emperor of Daqi, the status will suddenly become different.
How can the identity of the first-line princess be compared to these servant girls.
Moreover, looking at the book, Rongyue's grandfather crying bitterly, all kinds of regrets, I believe that now Rongyue is standing on her side, and the role she can play will definitely be greater.
There is always not enough time in busy days, every day passes quickly, and autumn is coming in a blink of an eye.
The days are getting cooler day by day, and it is the harvest season.During this period of time, I finally saw two rains, but the falling water could not be accumulated at all, and soon seeped into the ground.
The land is too dry, and the draft is terrible.
Look at the cracked ground, the plants planted on it are basically fruitless.This year is not as simple as reducing production. Many villages have lost production, and many people rely on the government's relief to live.
Fortunately, Daqi's national treasury is abundant, and this huge, difficult-to-calculate expenditure can be sustained for a while.Fortunately, Daqi has a vast area, and if the north is dry, there is still the south.Relying on these, it did not cause panic and riots among the people.
I just hope that this drought can survive and that the weather will be smooth next year.
Thinking and looking forward to this, what was waiting was not a heavy rain that rescued the drought, but an envoy from the Northern Territory.
It has been more than half a month since I suppressed the marriage letter, and without any warning, I received the news of the visit from the envoy from the Northern Territory.And when the news reached the palace, the group of visiting envoys had already arrived outside the gate of the capital.
This really caught Lin Muzhi by surprise.
The Daqi court, which was already busy planning the autumn harvest and the distribution of winter grain, became even busier.Hastily arranged the embassy, and opened a bill and handed it to Lin Muzhi, which made the emperor frown even deeper.
No matter how rich and rich the national treasury is, it cannot cover such a long period of large-scale expenditure.
Junxi still has no big news in the south, but only knows that the war has been going on; even though the drought in the north has eased now, and there is no need to worry about domestic water, the group of bugs also died in the first cold snap after autumn, but this It's already autumn, and even so, there's no need to hope for a harvest.
In addition, items such as cotton clothes are still being prepared to help the common people—seeing the sudden drop in temperature, this winter will not be warm at all.
Facing Lin Muzhi's eyes, Suo Fu ran out knowingly.After exhorting a few words to the chief guard, the latter summoned the guards looking for Lin Muzhi, and went to patrol the night in a team.
Sighing lightly, the Chief Manager was really worried about His Majesty the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, go back to the bedroom and rest."
Back at the corner, seeing Lin Muzhi's appearance, Suo Fu didn't dare to ask any more questions.His Majesty the Emperor nodded, as he agreed, but Lin Muzhi never spoke, and walked to the Dragon Hall accompanied by Suo Fu.
With the lighting of the lantern, the field of vision becomes clearer, and the road ahead can be seen clearly, but the haze in my heart is still difficult to dispel.
=====
The winter this year was indeed not cold, and spring came early.
But without the transition of cold winter, spring is not so attractive.
Without the forging of the cold winter, the body's immunity has declined. Unfortunately, Lin Muzhi fell ill in this spring when all things were revived.
In fact, these days, under Han Qi's recuperation, His Majesty's body has become stronger, at least not as obvious as the external strength and internal weakness.But how could Fubaisan's deficient body be able to support it all at once.After drinking the decoction for a month, he couldn't resist the first cold snap in spring.
In the court, there are quite a few "delicate and frail" people like Lin Muzhi.Although the morning morning is not every day, but from time to time someone will ask for sick leave or something.
So far, Junxie's three-month confinement has passed, but he still cannot go out.After that night, Lin Muzhi discussed with Taigong Mu and added an imperial decree, which finally locked Junsaliva firmly in Prince Rong's mansion.
This decree was issued quickly, and coupled with the fact that there was no one to refute the punishment during the Shangyuan Festival, the decree was issued without giving Jun Xiyipai any chance to speak.
I don't know if it was because of Lin Muzhi's words that the hero was exposed prematurely. Anyway, Junxi has never appeared in front of him until now.
……
"Your Majesty, the Nanman children frequently come to harass and plunder the small kingdoms that belong to me, how can I sit idly by and do nothing!"
On this day, there was great commotion in the court, and several generals were very dissatisfied with the actions of the foreign races in the south mentioned in the Laijing Express.In fact, those foreigners have not been provoking for a day or two. The reason why these people have such a big reaction now is that they are dissatisfied with Lin Muzhi's will to block the king's saliva.
Due to the majesty of the royal family, the minister did not dare to refute immediately, so he waited for a month. Anyway, Prince Rong was going to be banned for three months.
Junxi has guarded the south for many years, coupled with his astonishing achievements in martial arts, naturally there are many friends and alliances there.The generals who fought on the battlefield and made great achievements in battle are all people with well-developed limbs and high martial arts skills.
Generally, well-developed limbs also correspond to a simple mind, so when civil servants choose to remain silent, these generals stand up to fight against injustices.
"Master Li, what does this mean?"
Prime Minister Zuo stepped forward, bowed to Lin Muzhi, and asked the general who spoke.
Prime Minister Zuo and Taiwei Li, the head of a civil servant and the head of a military general, these two have been arguing for not a year or two, from Emperor Hongzong's reign to the replacement of the dragon chair, isn't it not long? .
"I just can't bear the suffering of Daqi's people, and I need to show those southern barbarians a look."
"you…"
"The group of people in the south has never been quiet. Why is Li Aiqing so concerned about the border people this year, and cares about all people?"
Before Prime Minister Zuo could reply, Lin Muzhi opened his mouth.The cadence and tone are calm and unpredictable.The longer you stay on the Golden Dragon Throne, the more you will understand this court and be able to stand up to the majesty of the emperor.
Prime Minister Zuo was very satisfied with Lin Muzhi's transformation.Seeing that the little emperor was becoming more and more like a wise emperor, living up to the trust of the former emperor, it also strengthened the confidence of Zuo Cheng and other officials to stand on Lin Muzhi's side.
Compared with Hongze Emperor Junrui, Prince Rong Junxi was indeed more decisive and mature in dealing with things, but he also revealed a bit of ruthlessness.
Daqi is in its prime, the emperor is benevolent enough to encourage governance, and he is an extremely human minister, so why bother to set off a storm in the court.If it can be stable, smooth sailing is naturally the best.
Prime Minister Zuo glanced at Li Taiwei, smiled, and respectfully said to Lin Muzhi above: "People on the battlefield have spent half their lives in bloody storms. Master Li wants to make another contribution to Daqi."
"Although the bones of the veteran are rotten, as long as the emperor gives an order, the armor and sword will go into battle, no worse than those younger generations." General Li squinted at the left prime minister, which is considered a 'reward': "However, the pacification of the Nanman matter, there is an official in the court. A better candidate than the veteran."
"Oh? I wonder if there is anyone else in the court that makes Li Aiqing, who has been fighting the battlefield for many years, feel ashamed." Although he had already guessed who General Li planned to recommend, Lin Muzhi also pretended to be at a loss.
"Prince Rong has been guarding the border for three years, and he knows more about the barbarians in the south, so he is naturally a better candidate."
Although Li Taiwei has been an official for most of his life, he is a person who fights on the battlefield after all. He is good at using soldiers and fighting wars, and he is used to speaking straightforwardly.
"So, what Li Aiqing means is to send Prince Rong to suppress the bandits."
On the dragon chair, Lin Muzhi tapped his fingers lightly, beating the time bit by bit.
"Li Taiwei's words are too inappropriate. Let's not say that Prince Rong's collusion with other races is still being investigated. Just say how many barbarians there are in the southern border defense, and what troubles can arise?"
"My lord prime minister doesn't know that the tribes in the south have already formed a large scale. If they are not suppressed in time, they will pose a serious threat in the future. Doesn't the alliance in the north explain the problem? Besides, the group in the south has always been at odds with me, Daqi. If... "
"What Ai Qing said is very true."
Interrupting Taiwei Li's eloquence, Lin Muzhi interrupted.
"So, just do what Li Taiwei said."
"Your Majesty, Prince Rong is wearing a sinful body, how can..."
"You have to give him a chance to make meritorious service, don't you?" He frowned, not looking at Prime Minister Zuo's wrinkled old face.
Junxi is indeed a 'heinous crime', but it is Lin Muzhi's willfulness to let him pacify the southern border.But this is not to make Junxiu make up for his mistakes, but simply to stay away from Junxiu.
Although he also knew that it would be best to keep Junxi in the palace like this, but who knew when such a skilled person would break into the palace again and make him feel uneasy.
And maybe the next time, it will directly burn down the Dragon Yin Hall.
Besides, since Jun Xi is the hero and has experience, nothing should happen.Telling myself this over and over again, now the male lead is finally gone.
The emperor has said this, and the decree can be regarded as issued, and Prime Minister Zuo can't do anything if he doesn't agree.Not intending to continue to obstruct, he stepped back and listened to Li Taiwei's report to Lin Muzhi on the military strategy and military planning.
You said something to me, and you were so busy all morning. It was already past lunch time by the time you drafted a will and conveyed it.After the morning court, Lin Muzhi went directly into the imperial study room, bored in it, and didn't plan to go out in a short time.
It stands to reason that it takes a long time to prepare for marching and fighting, but this time the materials needed are not many, and there are few people. Coupled with the emperor's urging and attention, it only took less than two days to prepare everything.
In the past two days, Lin Muzhi has always stayed where there are many people. Even when he went to bed at night, he stayed with Suofu by his bedside. Quan'er guards, such defensive guards are really unprecedented.
After leaving Long Yi, Lin Muzhi didn't know who the Yulongwei around him had changed, and he didn't have much interest in knowing now.Even if Yulongwei is by his side, he is just a bodyguard, so why do he need to know his name.
Besides, seeing each other more times, it is hard not to develop feelings.
====
Outside the Longde Hall, two rows of guards were neatly erected. On this day, Prince Daqi went out to pacify the Nanman, with a strong formation and excellent equipment.
Jun Xi's long hair stood up high, he was dressed in fine Lin iron armor, long black leather boots, and a long red cloak behind him, expressionless.Standing under the steps and watching the position of the sun move a little bit, finally, the drum of Lijing sounded.
Looking back at the top of the steps, there was still no one there.
Seeing no disappointment, Jun Xie just showed an unclear smile, got on his horse, and left the capital all the way without looking back.
☆, natural and man-made disasters
39.
In the imperial study room, Lin Muzhi was sitting at the table with a cup of tea in his hand, his eyes were blank and he didn't know where he was looking.
"emperor?"
Suo Fu leaned over and saw Lin Muzhi holding a cup of cold tea in a daze, so he called out cautiously.In fact, as early as two days ago, His Majesty the Emperor of his family started to go wrong when he returned from his retreat. He was worried and didn't know what he was thinking.
"kindness."
Lin Muzhi responded, his eyes were still empty, and he raised his hand and poured down the cold tea.
"Cough cough..."
"Oh my lord!"
I was used to drinking hot tea and warm water, but was so cold by the sudden drop in temperature that I choked on the water without paying attention.Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor choked on water, which was fine, Suo Fu hurriedly turned to the other side of Lin Muzhi to pat him on the back.
Suo Fu's position as chief executive became smoother and smoother, and he did many things that should be done and should not be done. Compared with a servant, he was more like a busy little nanny, surrounding Lin Muzhi all day long.
Finally, Lin Muzhi put down the teacup, pushed it away, cleared his throat, looked at the sky outside, and asked unhurriedly, "Suofu, is it noon?"
"Yes, it's out of time." Suo Fu replied, replacing the tea that was pushed away by Lin Muzhi, and putting it in a suitable position.
"Then... today's army, is it starting now?"
"Your Majesty, Prince Rong's army is probably already some distance away from the capital."
"En, I see." Lin Muzhi wanted to ask something more, but finally chose to shut up.
As the emperor, he is qualified to send the army on an expedition, and having the emperor in person means he attaches great importance to the battle.For soldiers in the army, seeing off from the emperor is also an honor.But after hesitating for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor still chose to stay safely in the imperial study.
In the end, it wasn't because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare.
No matter which aspect it was, against Shang Junxiu, he was completely defeated.Moreover, as described in those romance novels, sending your sweetheart away is always the beginning of BE, those scumbags who said 'wait for me back', which one can come back.
With a sigh, my heart was troubled, but there was nothing I could do.
On the day that Prince Rong's army left, His Majesty the Emperor dragged his servants and drank a night's worth of wine in the Dragon's Hall. After all, he had vented enough of the little unwillingness in his heart. After eating and drinking and falling asleep , finally attributed everything to tranquility.
After a short sigh, the long days still have to be the same.Completely freed from those messy thoughts, and without being disturbed by the king's saliva, Lin Muzhi can finally perform his duties with peace of mind.
With a vast area and a large population, the Great Qi Dynasty is still a country dominated by agriculture no matter how it develops.The first emperor Hongzong was able to govern Daqi so far and make the country prosperous. While his own ability is outstanding, he should also thank God for his good weather.
As a modern person who has learned advanced scientific and cultural knowledge, Lin Muzhi also knows a little bit about agriculture, but understanding is understanding, and just knowing a little does not mean that he has really practiced it.In the busy urban life, no matter how free you are, you will not spend a lot of money to buy a piece of open land in the city center to farm.
Not to mention money, time and effort are rare.
In this era when people depend on the sky for their food, it is the first time that Lin Muzhi truly realizes the "hardship of life".
Natural disasters and man-made disasters, the former can't prevent it.From late autumn last year to the present, there has been too little rain.The court always announces good news but not bad news. If he hadn't received this memorial, Lin Muzhi still wouldn't know the extent of the drought.
The source of this memorial is the magistrate of a local county, where the soil is fertile and the population is large, but it is far away from the town, separated by two mountains.
The county magistrate alone took charge of the four or five villages below. Originally, the crop production in the small mountain village was gratifying. In addition to supplying their own needs, they could also keep some of them and sell them for silver taels.The people in small counties do not live in excess, but they can still afford salt and meat.
But this year, the winter is not cold, and the seedlings in the field grow out early. The wheat seedlings grow too fast in winter, and their growth will decline in spring and summer.
Coupled with the fact that there has been no rain for a long time, the river has almost stopped flowing.These early seedlings did not end well.
Moreover, looking at this brochure, it is clearly reported the scene in early spring, but it was only spread to Lin Muzhi in the hot months.How much effort and how long did it take to pass on a memorial to report the truth?
It's hard to imagine.
Up to now, Junxi has been away from Beijing for more than a month, and there is no movement to suppress the barbarians in the south, and there is another problem of suppressing the situation here, which is really annoying.
What's more, the memorial remembers the scene more than two months ago. In the past two months, there has been no rain in the capital. Who knows what the disaster in the mountain county is like now.
Only by knowing the problem early can we come up with a solution early and implement it.Although Lin Muzhi dispatched officials from Beijing to investigate the situation as soon as he heard the news, the result was still disappointing.
Moreover, I really don’t know if I don’t check it, and I’m shocked when I check it.Whether it is in scope or degree, the drought in Daqi is far beyond imagination.
The cold snap in spring, a "falling spring cold", not only made Lin Muzhi sick, but also caused a large number of grain seedlings that broke out of their shells too early to suffer.
Regarding agriculture, not to mention Lin Muzhi, even the ministers of the court and China have little experience.The people who stayed in the court were all distinguished scholars, how could they know how to farm with their backs to the sky and feet on the loess.
His Majesty the Emperor, who summoned a group of officials to discuss how to fight drought and prevent disasters, was urged by a group of old officials to worship the Temple of Heaven and sincerely beg for rain.
Just a joke, is this rain what he says it can rain? Whoever said that the true dragon emperor must be a dragon, and who said that it must rain if he is a dragon?
Have you heard of Tyrannosaurus Rex? What about Triceratops?
Although I thought so in my heart, it was a tradition and a habit to worship the altar in the event of a natural disaster.
Moreover, there are really too many unknowns in this world. For example, he inexplicably traveled through a book, which Lin Muzhi himself could not explain clearly.What about ghosts and gods, who can say for sure.
However, due to the unanimous request of the courtiers, and Lin Muzhi didn't intend to set up any scientific concepts for them, he asked Wu Zhu to pick a day to go to the Temple of Heaven to worship the ancestors and reflect on his own shortcomings.
If there was any natural disaster in those dynasties with feudal tradition, it would be considered to be caused by the emperor's mistake.
Lin Muzhi thinks that he has never done anything shameful since he crossed, and he is actively studying in all aspects. If he has to criticize him, then he is not good enough, and only Junxie is the only one.
Speaking of Junxi, we have to mention the system tied to Lin Muzhi.
Originally, Lin Muzhi wanted to ask about the specific situation of the drought and when it would end, but since he left Beijing, the system bound to him seemed to have fallen into a strange dormancy, not only did he not release any more messy I can't even look through the original work to check for references.
The original tasteless system has fewer functions.However, recalling what I read carefully, it seems that the drought was not mentioned in the original novel.I don't know if the drought was caused by Lin Muzhi changing the plot himself.
It is rare for good things to come in pairs, but it is very common for bad news to come one after another.
Warm winter brings not only drought, but also pests and diseases later.Without the cold winter, people's body immunity is reduced, but it also makes other creatures live very comfortably.
At this time, it is not a butterfly that emerges from the cocoon, but a pest.
With the aggravation of "natural disasters", the imperial court paid more and more attention to this aspect.If the sky does not stop the rain, the summer of this year will be very difficult.
Leaving aside other places, as far as the palace where Lin Muzhi lives is concerned, it is very boring.
Reducing unnecessary water use is one way of mitigating the growing drought.But if you don't use it, it doesn't mean it won't evaporate.
The summer, which should have been abundant with rain, is almost over, but it still doesn't look like it's going to rain at all.The south of Daqi is okay, but the cities to the west and north of the capital are now almost unable to guarantee even the most basic water for humans and animals.
In the past, there was only a swamp left in the river, and the fields were cracked, let alone crops.
In order to avoid triggering a riot, the imperial court sent additional guards to the north in advance.It seems that Daqi's harvest this year can only be counted on the grain production in the south.In such a situation, the taxation in the north must be reduced no matter what, but the daily expenses of a big country are not small, and there are so many officials to support, Lin Muzhi wants to exempt all taxes in the north.But once they are all exonerated, the burden will be entirely on the people in the south.
Who knows how long this drought will last.
—It’s been a long time since it rained.
Standing in the imperial garden, looking at the clear sky, I can't help feeling the convenience of modern life again.It is really difficult to live a life that is almost completely dependent on the sky.If we continue to work like this, we may even reach the capital.
Stretching, accompanied by the maid of honor, I went to the Imperial Study Room.
Although the past few days have been waking up earlier and going to bed later, there are still more and more letters on the table. Although Lin Muzhi, the emperor, is only doing the work of final review and ruling, he will send it up after processing. There are really a lot of memorials and regulations stacked together.
With the index finger and middle finger together, he rubbed his temples, and there was a sudden pain in his head.Suo Fu thoughtfully handed over a cup of calming tea, just as Lin Muzhi lifted the lid of the cup, a young eunuch who passed on came into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, the people around Prime Minister Zuo are here."
"Xuan."
He raised his head to signal, lifted the lid of the cup and took a sip of water.The heat at the end of summer has not dissipated, and now Suo Fu is no longer alone in the imperial study room, but Lingxi and a few other court ladies are fanning their fans.
The well-known little eunuch retreated with his front foot, and a young man entered with his back foot - this man was exactly the guard who followed Prime Minister Zuo, and he could be regarded as Prime Minister Zuo's confidant.
"The servant kowtows to the emperor." When he entered the imperial study, the man kept his head down, holding a beautifully decorated invitation card in his hand, the colorful decoration is rare in Daqi.
"Excuse me, just speak up if you have anything to say." Lin Muzhi frowned after casting a glance at the man below.I always feel that this is not a good thing.
"Your Majesty, this is an excerpt from the Northern Territory."
With a look from Lin Muzhi, Suo Fu walked over knowingly, took the booklet from the attendant, and presented it to His Majesty the Emperor.
I reached out and touched it, only to find that this 'invitation' was actually embroidered with gold thread - when did the Northern Territory become so rich?After opening the post and glanced at it, Lin Muzhi frowned.
The temper that had been accumulated for several days finally reached its peak. His Majesty raised his hand and overturned the memorials piled up on the table. The teacup shattered and the tea spilled all over the floor.
The author has something to say: please collect~
☆, Beiyu and relatives
"Bastard!"
"emperor…"
Suo Fu leaned forward and wanted to say something more, but saw that the servants in the palace had already knelt down on the ground. Realizing this insurmountable status, he also knelt down in front of these outsiders.
The general manager who has no 'experience' doesn't know that this Emperor Hongze really hasn't lost such a big temper for a long time.The last time it happened like this was when Jun Rui dragged out all the servants in the palace and beat them to death because of a cup of herbal tea.
But at that time, it was Jun Rui who lost his temper, not the current Lin Muzhi.
Seeing the trembling looks of the surrounding maidservants, Lingxi felt a little strange, but she didn't dare to say anything more.Although she is the princess of the Great Wilderness and Lin Muzhi's close servant, but now that Chief Suo is afraid to step forward, she kneels even lower.
"You, go back and call Prime Minister Zuo here."
"The slave obeys the order."
Lin Muzhi threw aside the gold-embroidered folder, adjusted his breathing, felt tightness in his chest, and even had a headache.
"You guys, get up." Turning around, I saw people kneeling all over the room, and I felt embarrassed to slow down.Clearing his throat, His Majesty the Emperor said so.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." In response to the decree, all the servants in the imperial study, except Suo Fu, who looked worried, all shrunk their necks, trying to suppress the sense of existence, for fear that the emperor would become like before, throwing a temper tantrum , put all the people around 'change'.
"Suofu, pass on the decree and call the elders of Sangong to come to the imperial study to discuss politics."
"Yes." Suo Fu buckled his head on the ground, then stood up, and retreated worriedly.
After getting the order from the emperor, after Director Suo went out, several maids stood aside, trembling, not daring to act lightly in the face of the mess all over the place.Lingxi, on the other hand, looked at Lin Muzhi's expression quietly, saw that his expression was slightly relaxed, took a deep breath, walked to his side, squatted down, and began to clean up the fragments of teacups on the ground.
It's a pity that the fine white porcelain teacups are broken into pieces like this.
When Lingxi wrapped up the pieces and wiped off the water stains on the ground with a handkerchief, Suo Fu, who had gone to pass the decree, had already returned.
These three princes are the confidants of the former Emperor Hongzong, and the eldest Mu Taigong has assisted three generations of emperors.He is highly respected and respected.As for the other Prime Minister Zuo, the prime minister who 'betrayed' the hero has already gained Lin Muzhi's trust.
After being summoned by the emperor, the four came to the Imperial Study Room and saluted Lin Muzhi.The latter waved away the servants in the palace, leaving only Suofu, exempting the four of them, and ordered Suofu to hand over a booklet.
——The pattern is unique, inlaid with gold thread, it is the one that passed through the hands of Prime Minister Zuo.
Prime Minister Zuo took the memorial from Suo Fu with both hands, held it in his hand, and stared at San Gong.
The invitation cards for the memorials of the vassal states were sent directly to the emperor, and even the prime minister who assisted in the administration was not qualified to read them.Therefore, as soon as the zhezi was in the hands of Prime Minister Zuo, he asked his confidant to send it to Lin Muzhi.
I have received a lot of greetings from other countries before, but this time I saw that this book was extraordinarily grand, so I was in a hurry to give it to Lin Muzhi. If not for this, I am afraid that it will not be shipped together until the other memorials are processed.
"This... this is from the Northern Territory, Your Majesty..."
Holding a gold thread booklet in his hand, Prime Minister Zuo hesitated to ask, not daring to read it without authorization.
"It's okay, just open it and see for yourself."
Lifting his chin as a gesture, Prime Minister Zuo opened the booklet and read it with Elder Sangong.Only then did he understand the reason for the ugly face of the emperor in front of him.
"This……"
"Northern Territory's courtship brings closer the relationship between Daqi and Northern Territory. The current drought is severe and the southern barbarians are not peaceful. Since Northern Territory asks for it, it means that they are willing to be Daqi's ministers. Why should the emperor be angry?"
Before Prime Minister Zuo could speak, Grandpa Mu responded with airs.After the words were finished, it did not relieve Lin Muzhi's mood, but instead made His Majesty's face darker.And Suo Fu, who was standing aside and waiting, was also shocked when he heard the news.
It's easy to put it bluntly.But on that brochure, what was asked for was the real princess.
Fu Yue is the only princess who is a direct relative.
Emperor Hongzong's heirs are thin, the imperial power struggle of the previous generation was very fierce, and the offspring of the royal family declined. Up to now, there is not even a suitable age replacement in the clan.
It's annoying to say that the drought in Daqi is so severe, but because of the mountain range, the weather in the northern region is still smooth.Clear water and grass fertilizer is a happy year for that kind of nomadic people.
"This matter, I'm afraid we can't refuse, after all, the Northern Territory is our biggest ally." Zhang Taigong on the side added Mu Taigong's words: "If it was before, when the Northern Territory was a three-point gang, it would be easier to say, now... "
"So the intention of the two lovers is, do you want the princess to marry and get married?" Sighing, Lin Muzhi asked in a calm tone, unacceptable to the words of the two important ministers.
What Daqi needs now is peace and development. The Northern Territory, which was once divided into three gangs and allies, is not in trouble, but within a few days of this year, news of the reunification of the Northern Territory came from the north.That's right, it is no longer an alliance of connected interests, but a true unity.
It's just how could Lin Muzhi marry Fu Yue.
Leaving aside the long distance and the uncertain environment of the nomads over there, what Lin Muzhi cares most about is that the lord of the Northern Territory is an old man over sixty years old.It's not that she discriminates against the elderly. If Fu Yue really married and called that domain master grandpa, she wouldn't be too old.
Fu Yue is not some unfavored princess, but Lin Muzhi's beloved sister, why should she give it away.
In addition, when hunting in winter, he had a very unfriendly impression of the people from the Northern Territory that he met by chance, so Lin Muzhi was even more reluctant.
"How dare ministers and others dare to make rash comments on such a major matter. The emperor is still in charge. Ministers and others are just expressing their own opinions. I believe that the emperor summoned us here to analyze the pros and cons."
There is absolutely no reason to refute Mr. Mu's words.What they said is indeed quite correct. From the perspective of an emperor, why not do it for a friendly alliance that can be exchanged for a woman.
"Wei Chen also thinks so. At present, the southern barbarians are frequently invading, and Daqi has always been friendly with the three kingdoms of the northern region. Now that the drought is lingering, it is very appropriate to consolidate the friendly relationship with the northern region through marriage. Besides, Anthracene Princess Li is fifteen years old, and has reached the age for marriage."
In addition to Wang Taigong who just spoke, the elders of Sangong all expounded their views.Elder Sangong, whose tone of voice is opposite almost every time, is the first time to have unity of opinion in speech, which is very rare.
"This is the case in the Northern Territory. What if there are other places that propose a marriage after that?" Lin Muzhi frowned, expressing his disapproval of the unanimous approval of the three votes.
"God bless me, Daqi, the royal family has something to do. This matter in the Northern Territory, I am afraid that the envoys will visit at the end of the year, and it will be like this after seeing Princess Daqi's demeanor. Your Majesty has always treated people generously, but it may be a good thing for the princess to join the Northern Territory Princess Anli married the Northern Territory, the status of the main wife of the domain lord is so noble, and it will not be comparable to those who marry in the future."
Seeing Lin Muzhi's hesitant look, Prime Minister Zuo bowed and said.
"Prime Minister is right, maybe this book is just a test. The marriage is a matter of big or small, but if it is refused, it will inevitably hurt the friendship, and the gain will not be worth the loss." See Prime Minister Zuo also sent Having said that, Grandpa Mu added another sentence.
Although it is very reasonable, marriages have existed in almost all dynasties, but this is related to the lifelong happiness of my sister.
"So, the four lovers all think so. The princess of Daqi must marry?"
"I know that the emperor loves Princess Anli very much, but this marriage has advantages and disadvantages, and it also finds a good home for the princess." Seeing that Lin Muzhi is in a bad mood, Wang Taigong said as if to comfort him.
"Let's put this aside for now."
Seeing the earnest looks of the four people below, Lin Muzhi sighed.
These people were convened to discuss, just to let them all know that there is such a thing, anyway, whether to marry or not in the end is decided by one's own imperial decree.
The purpose of coming to these ministers of the older generation is mainly to hear their suggestions.If it was before, it would not be a big problem to ignore this matter. At that time, there were still three points in the Northern Territory. The princess didn't know who to talk to in the past. Da Qi was safe and sound, and Lin Muzhi's waist was stiff.
But now it really can't, Daqi is indeed in a state of distress, there is drought and pests, if it doesn't rain, there may be a riot.
"Yes, I just hope that the emperor can make up his mind as soon as possible. Judging from this posture and the degree of importance, the Northern Territory is well prepared." The four of them conveyed their eyes very tacitly, and they also attached great importance to this matter.
"Well, I see."
Lin Muzhi let out a sigh when Prime Minister Zuo and the others left.Think about it, the Northern Territory doesn't have that much capability, so what about a small area that has just been unified.
Compared with this, what is more important now is that it will rain.
After some discussion, although the mood was not good, it was calmed down a lot.Anyway, no matter what, Lin Muzhi would not marry Fu Yue to an old man.He is also a grumpy old man—he is a tall and strong man from the Northern Territory, so he must have a grumpy temper, just like the few people he met last time on the snowy mountain outside Mushuang City.
Sure enough, it was because of his changes to the plot that Fu Yue's fate changed so much.
If there was a marriage in the original work, it wouldn't have been mentioned without a word.Marriage is also considered a big event, how can we not let the hero and heroine show the limelight and have an emotional scene or something.
Think here.Lin Muzhi suddenly realized that he still held a 'big card' in his hand.
As a guess, looking at the pattern on this booklet, the type style is very similar to the confidant described in the original novel.Fortunately, as written in the novel, Rongyue's natal family ruled the Northern Territory.It's just a little early.
From this point of view, the lost daughter of the only princess in the Northern Territory, the granddaughter of the domain lord, is still in his hands.
——Thank you so much, Mistress.
The author has something to say: Mr. Frog, who died in catching insects, needs a bottle of insecticide...
☆, envoys enter Beijing
In the original work, the old man... no, after the domain lord ruled over the Northern Territory, Jun Sali made Rongyue recognize her relatives in the Northern Territory.With such a status, marrying the emperor of Daqi, the status will suddenly become different.
How can the identity of the first-line princess be compared to these servant girls.
Moreover, looking at the book, Rongyue's grandfather crying bitterly, all kinds of regrets, I believe that now Rongyue is standing on her side, and the role she can play will definitely be greater.
There is always not enough time in busy days, every day passes quickly, and autumn is coming in a blink of an eye.
The days are getting cooler day by day, and it is the harvest season.During this period of time, I finally saw two rains, but the falling water could not be accumulated at all, and soon seeped into the ground.
The land is too dry, and the draft is terrible.
Look at the cracked ground, the plants planted on it are basically fruitless.This year is not as simple as reducing production. Many villages have lost production, and many people rely on the government's relief to live.
Fortunately, Daqi's national treasury is abundant, and this huge, difficult-to-calculate expenditure can be sustained for a while.Fortunately, Daqi has a vast area, and if the north is dry, there is still the south.Relying on these, it did not cause panic and riots among the people.
I just hope that this drought can survive and that the weather will be smooth next year.
Thinking and looking forward to this, what was waiting was not a heavy rain that rescued the drought, but an envoy from the Northern Territory.
It has been more than half a month since I suppressed the marriage letter, and without any warning, I received the news of the visit from the envoy from the Northern Territory.And when the news reached the palace, the group of visiting envoys had already arrived outside the gate of the capital.
This really caught Lin Muzhi by surprise.
The Daqi court, which was already busy planning the autumn harvest and the distribution of winter grain, became even busier.Hastily arranged the embassy, and opened a bill and handed it to Lin Muzhi, which made the emperor frown even deeper.
No matter how rich and rich the national treasury is, it cannot cover such a long period of large-scale expenditure.
Junxi still has no big news in the south, but only knows that the war has been going on; even though the drought in the north has eased now, and there is no need to worry about domestic water, the group of bugs also died in the first cold snap after autumn, but this It's already autumn, and even so, there's no need to hope for a harvest.
In addition, items such as cotton clothes are still being prepared to help the common people—seeing the sudden drop in temperature, this winter will not be warm at all.
