My country is dead again [Rebirth]

The result of playing in the snow for an hour was that Xie Ruzhuo almost caught the wind and cold again. He felt nothing while playing. He started shaking and sneezing more than a dozen times when he was pulled back to the house by Shen Ci. Fortunately, he drank it in time. Jiangtang sweated again, but he was still refreshed the next day, without any signs of illness.

"Let's go tomorrow." The two had just played with Xie Mingting for a while, Shen Ci said to leave before nightfall, but Xie Ruzhuo was reluctant, "Isn't Xu Zishen still in Pingdu? Why don't you stay another day."

Of course, Shen Ci also wanted to leave later, but after a lot of hard work, he felt that he still had to be firm in his determination not to let Xie Ruzhuo become a foolish king, and said: "Yue Tingchuan didn't come back for the Chinese New Year. I was already very embarrassed when I left. I promised him that I would go back for a day. , hurry back tonight."

"Then you ask him to come back for a few days." Xie Ruzhuo rubbed against him coquettishly, "It's so cold outside, and the journey is hard, what if you get sick? It's better to stay for one more day and recover before leaving."

"It's okay, I'm sure I won't be sick." Shen Ci shook his head, "It's you, it's better not to go out."

Xie Ruzhuo saw that it was useless to be coquettish, so he said with righteous words instead: "I didn't make trouble for no reason, Xu Zishen can get away so easily once he returns to Beijing, those people finally waited for him to come back, and they will not forget to make troubles during the Chinese New Year. After that, he coughed again, "If you stay one more day, I will send someone to go to the inner treasury to pay for the money. Zhao Ke will go with you tomorrow and say that the imperial court is sympathetic to the hard work of the soldiers. This is my reward for everyone."

Shen Ci said worriedly: "There is still money in the internal treasury? Isn't it all used to repair the mausoleum for the Queen Mother?"

"There is still some private money." Xie Ruzhuo leaned into his ear like a little secret, "The cabinet and the Sixth Ministry have private money, why don't you let me have it? Besides, I don't have to save some money for us to go to Jiangnan in the future, otherwise I will It's too embarrassing to rely on my nephew to support me for the rest of my life."

Shen Ci couldn't help laughing, and said again: "I came back secretly, and you asked Zhao Ke to send the money, so how can I explain that I left the front line without handing over the book? It's not that I was really afraid of being scolded by the officials, and I was not afraid of it in my previous life. Scolding, mainly because I don’t want to see you upset.”

"Ah, I forgot." Xie Ruzhuo sighed dejectedly, "Then let Zhao Ke go after the dynasty begins."

Seeing his drooping brows and eyes, Shen Ci felt really uncomfortable, and carefully stuffed the fallen shade back into his collar, saying: "Okay, I'll leave tomorrow."

Xie Ruzhuo's eyes lit up immediately, and he threw himself on him and said loudly, "Really?"

"Don't dare to bully you." Shen Ci smiled, "It's still snowing outside today, the road is really difficult to walk, slow down, maybe it won't be much different from walking tomorrow."

Xie Ruzhuo blushed with excitement, kissed Shen Ci's face twice, and said softly, "Then when will you come back next time?"

Shen Ci noticed that Xie Ruzhuo had lost a lot of weight. Every time he left, he clearly saw that he was able to regain a little flesh, and when he saw him again, he was even thinner than before, and his expression also became depressed. He wished that he would never leave, dare not look at him Looking at him, he lowered his eyes and said: "I don't know yet, Linchang Mansion is the last outer barrier of Pingdu, Xu Zishen must support it, and I guess he will try Hengchuan or Ningya. I have to leave Chizhou. If Song Zongbing can solve Hua Yangjia's matter as soon as possible, I don't know if he is willing to continue to fight in Chizhou. If he can come, we can relax a little bit. Maybe we can rest for a while in June and July next year. I Come back to celebrate your birthday with you."

"Song Qingge often wrote letters back, and Zhabusu also wrote many letters to me. Pingdu was undercurrents, and Hua Yangjiao was very cautious in hiding at Lu Jin's house. He almost never showed his face. It's really not easy to take people away. " Xie Ruzhuo thought, "I wrote back to them not long ago, asking them to check the situation first. If there is no chance in a while, just wait until May. If I remember correctly, there will be a big chaos in Ping, although In the previous life, he was suppressed by Xu Zishen, but this time, if he makes good use of it, he may not be able to suppress it."

Shen Ci also suddenly realized, and said: "Once there is chaos in Pingdu, Xu Zishen must return to Beijing. We have successfully captured Linchang Mansion, and we should be able to take a breather. The soldiers should also rest. It is too tiring after fighting for a year. Replenish your energy and go to the decisive battle."

It seems that there is still hope to see Shen Ci in half a year, Xie Ruzhuo is happier again, but after thinking about it, it will be like three autumns if the lover next to him is gone every day, and he and Shen Ci can meet once in half a year but still Relieved in his heart, his little happiness disappeared immediately, and he said, "Well, just take care of yourself."

"Of course I will take care of myself, look at you..." Shen Ci poked his cheek, "When it's cold, wear more clothes, do you know how worried I was before? If you don't get well in Beijing I’m planning to come back then.”

Xie Ruzhuo got into his arms and whispered: "I don't want to be sick either, who knows..."

The two are sitting on the soft couch now, Xie Ruzhuo is always moving around, the mattress and blanket are messed up, Shen Ci stretched out the mattress, put the blanket on Xie Ruzhuo again, said: "Are you trying to save money? Why don’t you order a charcoal basin?”

"No! I'm not so poor that I don't even have enough charcoal, am I?" Xie Ruzhuo glared at him vigorously, "This is the palace after all, do you think I'm really so poor that I can't even imagine it?"

Shen Ci remembered something, frowned and said: "In the future, when we go to Jiangnan, we must buy a house that is bigger than Zhabusu's in Wuzhou."

Regarding the fact that Zhabusu bought a house as big as half a street in Wuzhou, Shen Ci exaggerated his feelings of resentment in the letter. Xie Ruzhuo saw that it was rare for him to care so much about things outside of him, and said with a smile: "You Don't worry, I will definitely save money. When we go to Jiangnan, we will have to bring millions of taels of silver bills. When the time comes, buy the whole street and envy Zhabusu to death. Hmm... we Take Master and Mistress to live there too, and leave them alone with a room with a yard."

Shen Ci was amused by him, and said: "Then I don't need to save money?"

"I am the emperor, and I will marry you if I marry you. Of course, I will save money to support you." Xie Ruzhuo was quite proud, "Just wait and enjoy the blessings."

"So..." Shen Ci grasped the key point of the whole matter, "How is His Highness the Crown Prince studying? Have you made any progress?"

Xie Ruzhuo was a little discouraged immediately, but his eyes were still full of longing, and said: "He learned like that, but I feel much better than in the previous life. It seems that we should not push too hard, sometimes it will be counterproductive. Now I often bring He played around and rewarded him, and his interest in reading was very high. He is actually not stupid at all. After the previous life, he has a very good brain, and he looks decent in the court, no worse than me. Now It's just that I haven't grown up and my heart is immature, so I always want to play."

Shen Ci was a little relieved, feeling that the trip to the south of the Yangtze River was still in sight, so he hugged him and lay down on the soft couch, saying: "I will take Linchang Mansion this year, and I will take you back to Pingdu next year, and then we will go back to get it back." Jiangbei, Shuzhong, Jiangnan, and Lingnan will definitely make you the veritable master of ZTE."

"Okay." Xie Ruzhuo hugged him, breath intertwined, "In this life, I want to stand side by side with you on the turret in Pingdu, and you can't leave again."

The two kissed for a while on the soft couch, whispered a few words, Shen Ci played tricks and rubbed Xie Ruzhuo's waistline, Xie Ruzhuo's waist was itchy, and he avoided it with a smile. The mattress inevitably became a mess again.

This day the two stayed in Yongning Palace, did not do anything, talked and drank tea together, looked at every small stone in the box, and continued to talk in bed together at night, doing some cross-border things when the love was strong, tired Only then did they embrace each other and fall asleep.

The next day, Xie Ruzhuo forcibly kept Shen Ci for lunch, and gave Shen Ci the dim sum that Shen Che and Ye Xinmei had sent to Beijing some time ago, and gave Shen Ci a thousand reminders to see if it was snowing outside during the day. It snowed at night and delayed the journey, so he reluctantly let Shen Ci leave.

This year as usual, the court was opened on the tenth day of the lunar month. The Ministry of Households allocated money to the Sixth Ministry according to the advance payment from last year, and everyone is concerned about whether the drought in the north will continue the drought of last year in the spring of this year, but there are no other annoying things. .

In the rainy season in March, no spring thunder has been heard in the entire north of Yujiang River, and even a drop of rain has not been seen. Everyone knows that the worst result should still come.

Naturally, Xie Ruzhuo was well prepared. The waterwheels and irrigation methods he transformed last year were put to use in various places, and the newly dug ditches can also cope with the drought that is not too serious. At this time, he would like to thank Sun Bingde for his new policies. Tighten the treasury expenditure, save a lot of money spent in wars, other places can be said to be frugal, and finally for the first time at the end of the year, the treasury has a surplus instead of continuing to be in deficit. Now that the drought is imminent, the court can also come up with money The disaster relief was done, otherwise he would probably owe Zhabusu a large sum of money.

In April, it had already rained in Hengchuan and Ningya, and there was also a small amount of rain in Chizhou. Only Suifang still hadn't rained. In the end, the chief minister where the capital was located became the place with the worst drought. Reluctant to part with the money, I had to take it out.

Fortunately, Suifang is not a major food-producing area, and the most affected areas are the farms of the guards. This year, I am afraid that they will not be able to support themselves, and they must be subsidized by the imperial court. Xie Ruzhuo came from Hengchuan and Ningya, where the drought has been relieved. A batch of grain was transported to prepare for emergencies, and the imperial court kept an eye on the situation in various places. If the local granary was empty and the people could not eat, the imperial court released grain to relieve the disaster, which stabilized the situation and did not cause any panic.

But this is obviously not the case with the guards below northern Xinjiang. The imperial court does not and will not take care of these places. Xie Ruzhuo just received the specific situation of the drought in the four towns of northern Xinjiang from Jinyiwei in April. Wu Xianrong and Qi Junmao Last year, when he realized that the situation was wrong, he restrained himself a lot and made some preparations. He sent the grain to the guards below. A batch of food was donated in the name of the imperial court.

But the situation in Cangzhou is not optimistic. Pei Yuankai is not a fool. Pei Yuankai himself couldn't figure it out, and no one knew whose pocket the money and food went into in the end.

Jinyiwei, like other places, also has guards in the four towns of northern Xinjiang. However, these places are sensitive and usually do not investigate too deeply. I can't live anymore.

Xie Ruzhuo immediately sold the news to Wu Xianrong without saying much, because he believed that Wu Xianrong knew what to do.

It didn't take long for Xie Ruzhuo to receive the news that there was indeed something wrong with Wu Xianrong. He smiled lightly, reported the letter to Du Ruo, and said, "Seventy to eighty percent of the money and food that Pei Yuankai put out have disappeared. His worthless sons have no appetite. It's big, it doesn't matter how serious it is, and it deserves it. Wu Xianrong secretly pushed in the guards below Cangzhou, and the military households in several places rioted. Pei Yuankai knew that things were a little troublesome, so he sent people to suppress it silently Go down, I heard that many people were killed."

After reading it, Du Ruo said: "This morning, Beijing Central received Pei Yuankai's memorial. He said that the drought in Cangzhou was not a problem, and those riots were just small-scale disturbances. The imperial court’s ineffective relief is on the head.”

The four towns in northern Xinjiang are in a special situation in Dayu. There are basically only military households below them. It is true that all the people are soldiers, and the four regions are relatively independent. The four towns will deal with it first, and report to the court if they can't deal with it. Xishan and Haimen have solved the disaster situation by themselves. Wanyang has reported to the court, and the court has also provided relief. Cangzhou has not reported anything. Just talking nonsense.

"He doesn't dare to tell the real situation to the court, so he can only hide it." Xie Ruzhuo said coldly, "Last year I asked Wu Xianrong to contain him, but now the cabinet doesn't dare to get too close to him, he should have already I have a feeling that I'm afraid I'm going to take action. Ineffective disaster relief and riots, how dare he hand over such a big handle to me? Of course, he can suppress it if he can suppress it." He sighed again, " I have pity on those military households, and I feel a little bit uneasy about it, and I sold the news to Wu Xianrong in order to take advantage of them."

They knew what the situation in Cangzhou was, but they couldn't act rashly. They watched people die. It is too difficult to completely overthrow the Pei family, the opportunity is fleeting, just in that moment, so making some sacrifices is... a last resort. Perhaps His Majesty can feel better when thinking this way, the military violence in the Cangzhou Guards. Rebellion is inevitable Yes, even if the imperial court proposes to take the initiative to intervene now, Pei Yuankai will still not allow the imperial court to send people into Cangzhou to see this scene, and they will still kill people in the end. Now let's make every move well and use this to bring down the Pei family. The guard will never suffer like this again."

"En." Xie Ruzhuo responded with a low interest, then lowered his head to think about something, knocked on the edge of the table with his fingertips, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were firm and fierce, and he looked at Du Ruo, "Sir, the time we have been waiting for has come. Time to do it."
