Play Luan Policy

After two days of rushing back to the capital, Li Mo was handed over to the old mother in the palace to take care of Si Niang's wages for the past few days and the expenses of going back.

Wei Chiyu happily got into the carriage and went home. Before he had time to reach the door, Wei Xin heard from other places about the trouble his daughter had caused before, and asked his servants to guard Wei Chiyu outside the door with a cold face. When he saw her come back Take her to see yourself immediately.

When I got off the carriage, I saw the servant Wei Fu standing at the door waiting for me, thinking that I hadn't been out for a few days to wait for me, but when I swaggered past, I saw Wei Fu was full of anxiety and worry.

Seeing Wei Chiyu approaching arrogantly, Wei Fu trotted over hurriedly: "Miss, master is waiting for you in the study."

"Oh, daddy knew I was back so soon?" Wei Chiyu felt that her daddy must miss him very much, but seeing Wei Fu's face turned pale, he became worried: "Wei Fu, what's wrong? Could it be that my dad's body is sick again gone?"

Stepping up all the way to the study, Wei Fu said in a low voice: "Miss, don't worry, the master is in good health these few days. It's just that someone entered the master's study just now, and after he came out, the master looked angry. Miss, did you do something else?" thing."

The pace of hurrying just now stopped, Wei Chiyu frowned and pursed his lips with a bitter face, it must be some talkative person who told Wei Xin about Li Mo, originally she wanted to find an appropriate opportunity to tell this Wei Xin, it's fine now, it's all messed up.

Walking into the study anxiously, Wei Fu saw that the momentum was not right, so he tiptoed out of the study and closed the door gently.

After hesitating for a while and walking up to Wei Xin, Wei Chiyu secretly glanced at Wei Xin, and found that his face was full of anger, and he didn't even look at her, so he called pitifully: "Father..."

It's okay if you don't bark, just after calling, Wei Xin slammed the table with his hand and shouted: "You still have the face to call me daddy!"

Wei Chiyu felt that Wei Xin was really annoyed this time, so he shrank his neck and dared not say a word.

"I asked you to protect His Majesty, not to add to the chaos, you are good! Adopt the rebellious ministers and thieves..."

"Father, Li Mo is not a traitor, her mother..." Wei Chiyu just wanted to explain, but was stared back by Wei Xin's eyes, and could only continue to hang his head to listen to Wei Xin's reprimand.

"Your Majesty is now at the time to stabilize the imperial fortune, and there is no room for negligence." Wei Xin walked up from behind the case, angrily pacing back and forth in the study, "Li Mo's identity is unclear, but you left her behind By His Majesty's side, if something goes wrong, can you afford it?"

Wei Chiyu hurriedly shook his head desperately, Wei Xin continued: "Fortunately, His Majesty is generous and tolerant, and doesn't care about you, but you are fine, and you still feel that you have done a good thing?"

"My daughter knew I was wrong..."

"Know your mistake?" Wei Xin stopped and stared at Wei Chiyu, "Which time after you made a mistake, you didn't say that? If you don't repent, how can I be worthy of the Wei family if I don't teach you a rebellious girl today?" Ancestors!"

These words scared Wei Chiyu to his knees on the ground with a bang, and said with a mournful face: "Father, my daughter knows her mistake, and she will never dare again."

"Is there a next time?" Wei Xin seemed really pissed off this time, ignoring Wei Chiyu's pitiful act, "Wei Fu! Come here, Wei Fu."

The door of the study was pushed open, and Wei Fu had been standing outside the door to avoid suspicion. Then he heard Wei Xin calling him from inside, and walked in and said, "The slave is here, what is the master's order?"

"Go, bring the family law." Wei Xin stretched out his hand and pointed outside.

Wei Chiyu, who was kneeling on the ground, stiffened for a moment, and then heard Wei Fu hesitate: "Master, please calm down, Miss..."

"Hurry up!" Wei Xin yelled, and then coughed violently.

Wei Fu panicked, and ran out of the door without saying a word, Wei Chiyu gritted his teeth, she knew Wei Xin's temper, begging for mercy would only add fuel to the fire, it seems that this flesh and blood pain cannot be avoided .

After a while, Wei Fu brought a rattan that was half the length of a man, followed by a woman and a maid, who walked in in a panic, and the woman felt distressed when she saw Wei Chiyu kneeling on the ground. He helped her up, but Wei Xin restrained her.

This woman is Mrs. Song, the mother of Wei Bingcheng and Wei Chiyu. Seeing that Wei Xin took the rattan in Wei Fu's hand, she hurriedly stopped Wei Xin and said, "Master, Chi Yu has just come back and has worked so hard." God, I can't afford to hurt my body."

"It's because you've been protecting her that you've made her behave like this." Wei Xin was furious now, and no one could come up to persuade him to gain any advantage. "Anyone who dares to come out to protect her again will be fined with him."

After finishing speaking, he clenched the cane in his hand and whipped Wei Chiyu hard on the back.At this moment, Wei Chiyu was still wearing the official uniform of the imperial guards and the protective cover, which shielded her from a lot of the power of the rattan, but her back was still burning with a whip.

After being whipped more than 20 times in a row, he felt that the force of the fall gradually eased. Finally, Wei Xin coughed hastily again and stopped his movements.

Wei Xin has been in poor health since his escort fell ill many years ago. Just now, his chest was filled with anger and hurt his mind. This made him beat Wei Chiyu hard, and he couldn't stop coughing for a while. Mrs. Song hurried over and followed Wei Xin's back: "Master, don't hurt yourself, Chi Yu is a daughter's family, how could he stand those whips?"

At this moment, Wei Chiyu's back was in pain, and his limbs didn't even look like they were growing on his body. Hearing Wei Xin coughing behind him, he moved his body reluctantly and said, "Father, take care of yourself, don't get angry with yourself."

"You still know to watch out for me!" Seeing Wei Chiyu in pain, Wei Xin desperately held back tears, threw the rattan whip in his hand, and sat back on the chair, "Get down!" Then he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Mrs. Song gave Wei Chiyu a wink and told her to leave quickly.Wei Chiyu kowtowed in pain, got up with difficulty, and staggered out of the study. If she hadn't been good at practicing martial arts all year round, any other girl would not be able to withstand the twenty or so cane whips even if she was wearing a protective cover.

Back in the room, she took off her coat and let the servant girl apply medicine to her. Although there was no skin or flesh on her back, there were protruding welts. Fortunately, no bones and muscles were injured. As long as the medicine was applied on time, there should be no scars.

Mrs. Song came in and saw the big area behind Wei Chiyu, wiped the corners of her eyes and cried, and asked, "Chi Yu, what did you do this time to make your father so angry."

Wei Chiyu grinned at the pain in his back, and beads of sweat hung on his forehead: "This time it's all my daughter's fault, mother, don't ask me, don't worry about me, just take the medicine and it will be fine."

Applying Jinchuang medicine on the back was cold and relieved a lot of pain. Wei Chiyu just lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. On the second day, although the pain was still unbearable in the back, she still came to the palace in official uniform.

After a day, the whip wound on the back was not as painful as yesterday, but the clothes were rubbing against the wound with the swing of the body, and Wei Chiyu was already sweating profusely when he walked into the palace.

Qi Xiao saw Wei Chiyu walking in front of him in a rather weird posture, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead but his face was pale, and asked, "Is Chi Yu feeling unwell today?"

"Return to Your Majesty." Wei Chiyu clasped his fists with both hands, which caused the material of the cloth to rub against the wound again, which caused her heartache. "It's just a few flesh injuries, it's okay."

Qi Xiao remembered that after returning to Beijing yesterday, Wei Chiyu returned home. The injury seemed to be serious, but it was not a minor injury. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that I didn't ask you to take Li Mo back. Yes, otherwise you should come here on crutches today."

After Qi Xiao's sarcasm, his pale face flushed, Wei Chiyu shook his head embarrassedly: "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. It is only natural for my father to teach me a lesson, and it is all my own fault."

Seeing that Wei Chiyu's brows and eyes were frowned in pain with just a few simple movements, Qi Xiao sighed: "Wei Xin killed relatives impartially and righteously. A few days ago, you accompanied me to worship ancestors and you were tired for many days. I let you take a few days off. It's good to rest."

Knowing that Qi Xiao saw that her injury was serious, she didn't refuse, thanked her, and returned home to start recuperating.

On the other hand, Li Mo was arranged in Siyuxuan not far from Qizhu. In the past, unfavored concubines and court ladies stayed here, but now it has been vacant for many years. Several eunuchs and court ladies have been busy inside and out. I cleaned up the house all day, and brought brand new quilts and clothes.

Eunuch Liu did not accompany Qi Xiao to worship his ancestors this time, and was left in the capital to take care of the palace affairs. Seeing such a small thing of unknown origin, he asked the attendants who accompanied him before, and they also hesitated to answer. It is clear that Dao is a descendant of a female convict, His Majesty took this poor child back to the palace to adopt in order to help the poor.

After asking several people in succession, no one even knew the woman's name, and no one knew the final whereabouts of the female prisoner. Only one of them said that he saw the female prisoner being taken away by an officer early in the morning.Eunuch Liu asked Qi Xiao side-by-side, and Chu Ping was there at the time. Qi Xiao glanced at Chu Ping and said, "I think she is pitiful for a village woman who has been burdened with an injustice case. She has left this blood."

Chu Ping repeatedly praised Qi Xiao as the emperor's benevolent heart, and he didn't know how much sincerity was on his smiling face.

After this incident, no one asked any more, and Li Mo lived in the palace as a diner with peace of mind.But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. As for how much those interested people have found out, Qi Xiao doesn't want to care about it and is too lazy to care about it.

For her, the top priority now is to win over more foreign forces, and more importantly, to remove those stumbling blocks at the same time.

After listening to Chu Ping and Lu Yi's report on the matters of the past few days, Qi Xiao took a note and asked, "Why are there disaster victims in the south?"

"Heavy rain fell in the Yangtze River Basin, and the dam was washed away, causing rice fields to be damaged and houses to be washed away." Lu Yi said sadly, "Nearly [-] mu of rice fields were flooded, more than a thousand houses were destroyed, and thousands of villagers were left homeless. The prefectures and counties have already resettled the victims, and they give porridge to the victims every day in front of the house."

"Porridge?" Qi Xiao heard that he threw the notebook on the case, "The imperial court allocates tens of thousands of silver taels every year to strengthen the dam, how can it be washed away by a small spring rain?"

"This..." Lu Yi looked embarrassed, "In previous years, the flood season was in June, but this time suddenly the local reservoir didn't have time to discharge the flood, so the dam burst."

"This time, Pengcheng, Jinling, and Quzhou, which are located downstream, are all safe and sound. Why is Jiangzhou so severely flooded?"

Lu Yi couldn't answer for a while, and looked at Chu Ping beside him for help.

"Jiangzhou Dam was built in the Tianzhu period, and it has been nearly a hundred years. The wind and rain have already been riddled with holes, and the reinforcement every year can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause. I think it is better to take this opportunity to rebuild." You can talk, Chu Ping took the words and said.

"Oh, if it's as King Jian said, it must be built well. I'm afraid that someone will embezzle the official money and neglect the repair of the dam, so it will be like this." Picking up the teacup from the case, he took a sip of tea, Qi Xiao recalled and said, "If I remember correctly, the prefect of Jiangzhou is your student of Lu Zhongtang."

Lu Yi had been worried about Qi Xiao's purpose since just now, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although Yue Zhongke is a disciple of the minister, if he violates the court's guidelines, the minister will treat him equally and will never show mercy!"

Drinking tea, Qi Xiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Don't worry about Lu Zhongtang, I believe in you." Speaking of this, Qi Xiao put down his teacup and turned his gaze to Chu Ping, "It will be April in a few days In mid-April, let Shen Lian prepare to take [-] cavalry and head to Beixun."

After a moment of silence in the room, Chu Ping cupped his fists and said, "I obey."
