imprinted you in my heart

Wen Yu looked at her daughter who rushed over without changing her court clothes, and sighed silently. If it was really as serious as her daughter said, she would be in a difficult situation, and said after a while: "If that's the case, let's talk about it later. Alright," he said, waving his hand.

What Wen Yu meant was that now that Wen Zhiyuan's case was on the cusp of the storm, it was not easy to make other arrangements, so let's talk about it next year when the limelight passed. In the end, Wen Yu finally compromised, but not completely.

It's not that she's not in a hurry or angry about the matter between Emperor Mu Zong and Shi Zhu, but she is far away from her even if she wants to. She is really beyond her reach, but now Wen Zhiyuan is in the capital, and she is a favorite junior who can save her. Always have to save.

But the premise is that Hua Chao has nothing to do with his daughter, and people's fingers are of different lengths, not to mention the degree of love and affection for the younger generation is naturally different, no matter how fond they are, they can't compare with their own children.

Shi Min saluted and retreated. On the way out, he saw a mirror and banners hung on the door of a room on the left. When he came here, he was in a hurry and didn't look carefully, so he stopped and took a look.

The layout of Yongshou Palace is a bit different from when Grandma Huang was there. Because of the cold weather, the flowers and plants have been moved indoors. Except for some leafless vegetation, the other plants in the flower beds are withered, and they will only wait for the next spring to regenerate.

Rabbits that used to run around freely foraging for food were locked up, and hawksbill turtles that could only be raised in seawater entered a dormant period.

What made her unable to bear to look more was the room with the gossip flags hanging. Since the death of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager liked Taoist meditation and doing homework. Yongshou Palace.

When she heard the news, her heart was very heavy. Others might not know it, but she could guess one or two. Although the main cause of Grandma Huang's death was illness, she was the second cause, and Wen Yu was the third cause.

Wen Yu has never even killed a chicken in his life. He is well protected by his family at home, and protected by Wu Zong and others when he enters the palace. Although he is in the palace, he is actually very innocent. There must be a hurdle in her heart, and doing homework through meditation is the salvation she found.

So not only would she not stop her, but she would collect some good scriptures and send them to Wen Yu from time to time, and she would also intentionally instruct the Taoist master who rescued the Empress Dowager in the Wenxuan Hall to comfort Wen Yu and talk to her more.

As for herself, although she doesn't come to Wenyu every day to say hello or something, she still cares about Wenyu, so she knows what happened in Yongshou Palace very well, but the effect of knowing and seeing it with her own eyes is still different , so there is this pause.

After leaving Yongshou Palace, Shi Min went directly to Anren Palace, just in time to meet Bu Qianxue who had just returned from Wenxuan Palace, and the two entered the palace together, Qingying was sleeping soundly by the brazier.

Anren Palace had Shi Min's clothes in stock, so Shi Min went to Bu Qianxue's dormitory to change into regular clothes, and immediately felt much more comfortable, Lu Guanchu directed the palace servants to send the changed court clothes back to Fengde Palace.

With a slight wave of Bu Qianxue's hand, the palace servants came out in a file, leaving only her, Shi Min who came over, and Qing Ying who was sleeping soundly in the hall.

As soon as Shi Min sat down, Bu Qianxue pushed the New Daily in front of her. Although she didn't say anything, the page was about Wen Zhiyuan's case, and the meaning was self-evident.

She picked it up and read it from beginning to end, and nodded after reading it, as if she was quite satisfied.

Bu Qianxue frowned and asked: "Although he deserves to die, he has made contributions to the country after all. Is it inappropriate to settle the case like this? If we follow the Eight Discussions, I am afraid that the crime will not result in death."

If only as a minister or a general friend, Bu Qianxue would agree with Shi Min's doing this in her heart, but if it was a lover or relative, she would be a little hesitant, would it be too unfeeling?

Shi Min was a little surprised to be able to ask such a question, because he hated evil like Bu Qianxue. It seemed that the concept of the supremacy of privilege among privileges was deeply ingrained in the hearts of people in this era.

"There is nothing wrong with him. He is no longer a prince. Although he is a relative of the emperor, he was an official when he committed the crime. The official law is the main way to try this case, which is justified." idea.

Seeing Shi Min's determination and knowing that she came from Yongshou Palace before, he understood that there might be no room for maneuver in this matter, so he immediately changed the topic and did not mention it again.

The morning of the next day was peaceful, there was no minister to intercede for Wen Zhiyuan, even Wen Yuan himself remained silent, the case of Wen Zhiyuan was temporarily settled.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

More than two years later, in the early summer of the eighth year of Tianfu, most areas of the Hua Dynasty entered the rainy season one after another. Such is the time of Fandu.

The more mature and indifferent Shi Min was standing under the eaves of the Wenxuan Hall to watch the rain fall. He was wearing ordinary clothes, with his hands folded in front of his stomach naturally. .

The rain would be heavy for a while, but it would not stop. Even if it stopped, it would only be for a few hours. It had been raining for seven or eight days in a row in Fandu, which caused the water level of the palace moat and the moat of Fandu to rise a lot.

In order to distinguish it from the imperial palace moat, the moat of Fandu City is also called a moat. It is connected to Jinghu Lake by a small river called Jinghe.

Many bridges have been built on the river, including small stepped arch bridges for people to walk on, and large arch bridges for horse-drawn carriages. Originally, the distance between the water surface and the arch hole was very long, but now it is only half the height of a person. Moat.

The river protection is also connected to the upper reaches of a branch of the Nanjiang River. If the tributaries were not too turbulent due to the terrain and could not be sailed by boats, bulk goods could be transported directly to Fandu by water. However, the flood would flow towards the Nanjiang River like a demon, causing The already turbulent water is scary from a distance.

No matter how much it rains, there is no large area of ​​water on the ground of the palace. Most of the rainwater flows into the moat of the palace along the designed water channel, and a small part flows into the Yuqing Pool. In addition, the palace itself is quite high and there are many palaces. It is a high-rise building, so there is no danger of flooding.

But Shi Min couldn't be happy at all, instead his face became more serious. According to the forecast of the Ministry of Industry and Qin Tianjian, according to the current rain pattern, as long as it continues for three or four days, the moat, Jinghu, Jinghe and Huhe will be destroyed. A tipping point is reached and flooding is imminent.

"Report to Your Majesty, Mr. Qingmu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has an urgent matter to see you." A palace attendant trotted over and stopped three steps away to salute.

Shi Min frowned, "Xuan", looked at the sky thoughtfully, then turned and entered the hall.

When Mu Changqing entered the hall, he saw His Majesty sitting behind the desk, and Lu Guanchu stood beside him, and immediately stepped forward to salute, "May Your Majesty rest in peace."

Mu Changqing's complexion didn't look very good. I don't know if he was too busy and tired recently, or because he was in a hurry. As usual, today should be a rest, but because of the rain, and in order to prepare for the flood in advance, Shi Min Today's rest is spared.

Shi Min said: "Excuse me, I don't know why Aiqing is in such a hurry to see me?"

Mu Changqing got up and said: "Your Majesty, due to the heavy rain recently and the lack of preparation of the person in charge, the porcelain kiln that fired the last batch of porcelain for the royal wedding collapsed, and there was no porcelain left. Duty, to the point of making a big mistake, please forgive me." He just stood up and knelt down again, his head almost touching the ground.

Shi Min looked at the person kneeling below with misty eyes, she thought it was a matter of the water fighting against the flood, but she didn't expect it to be a matter of her and Bu Qianxue's wedding.

Because more than two years ago, the two had a bad relationship over the wedding, so after talking for a few days, together with the regulations presented by the Ministry of Rites, and asking the Queen Mother for instructions, the two finally settled on the procedure of the wedding.

The specific steps remain the same, all the essential ones are prepared according to the regulations, those that can be deleted are directly deleted, and those that can be reduced are reduced. After various reductions, deletions and deletions, the cost is reduced to about 120 million taels, and the scale It's not much different from the original engagement.

It saved nearly 80 taels from the original budget. After a consensus, the two decided to invest all the money in education, and built the current Martial Arts Academy and Medical Dao Academy. .

Shi Min is a little reluctant to save so much, because she feels that she is not short of the money now, and the face of a big country must be taken care of, but Bu Qianxue thinks that more than 100 million taels for a wedding is already a lot of money. Huge sums of money are spent on the hard-earned money of the people, and it is unbearable to double it, which is also extravagant and wasteful.

Shi Min was speechless, because no matter what channel the money came from, it did come from her subjects, and after she came to power, she vigorously cracked down on extravagance and corrupt officials. If she got married, she would be extravagant, wouldn't it? Run in the opposite direction?

Even if she doesn't set an example of frugality, at least she can't be the person who allowed the state officials to set fire to prevent the people from lighting lamps, so in the end she had to agree.

Since Tianfu’s wedding regulations were finalized at the beginning of the sixth year, the various yamen involved began to prepare. It has been two years now. The wedding dresses for their big wedding were all made not long ago.

They also had to prepare silver tea sets, silver pots, silk, cloth, saddle horses, etc. for the Bu family, as well as silverware and porcelain for their own use. Qian Xue felt that it was expensive and impractical, so she deleted it, but silverware and porcelain were necessary.

There are a lot of things to be used for a big wedding, and the Sixth Bureau, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites alone cannot do it, so some of them are directly entrusted to more famous businessmen to make them. The ones that collapsed are made by the entrusted businessmen. According to the plan, the time for luck is relatively tight.

Now that something like this happened, even if the other party immediately rebuilt the kiln and fired it again, it might be too late in time, and if they could, they would definitely not report to her.

"If I remember correctly, the last batch of firing was a set of red-glazed consecrated gold-shaped porcelain, right?" Shi Min asked with clear eyes, his voice neither angry nor happy, but Mu Changqing didn't dare to relax , Hastily and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, it is."

"That's it, then delete it, let's go." The quality of Jiangbei's porcelain is the best, and it must be too late to make it. The quality of the nearest one is worse, and she doesn't want it. Anyway, three sets have been made and are on the way to escort. enough.

Mu Changqing, who was not punished, retreated a little uneasy. Impunity is not His Majesty's style. Could it be that His Majesty Kang Hong might be lenient to her recently?

The more Mu Changqing thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and left happily.

However, Shi Min sent someone who secretly said to go to investigate, if it was really caused by a natural disaster, she had nothing to say, and if someone deliberately obstructed it, then she would not be spared. ?
