fleeting photos

Jiang Zhao said that he wanted Jiang Han to learn to read and write. It was not a joke. For this reason, Yuan Xiang went to Gong Zhengsi, brought the list of female officials in the palace, and decided to personally pick out a candidate with excellent character and talent.

The content of the directory is complete, and it was compiled by Liu Xifeng. It records the life experience, talent, learning and character of the female officials, and it will be updated every once in a while to ensure the accuracy of the information.

Jiang Zhao turned a few pages, frowning.

It's not that no suitable candidates can be found, but judging from the list, everyone's level is about the same, and there is nothing particularly outstanding that can catch people's eyes at a glance, and there is no result of comparison.

In the end, it was Yuan Xiang who reminded her, seemingly unintentionally, and said, "Isn't the person who suits His Majesty the most in Gong Zhengsi already in our Xihe Palace?"

Jiang Zhao lost the directory in his hand and couldn't help but knocked himself on the head.

"I'm confused."

She never insisted on Xie Jin's treatment. In fact, it was just a matter of verbal instructions. She still asked Yuan Xiang to invite Xie Jin over to discuss the feasibility of this matter with her in person.

Xie Jin had the same reaction as Mammy, and asked in surprise, "How old is the Princess, and His Majesty is going to enlighten her?"

Jiang Zhaodao: "There was a child prodigy in the previous dynasty. It is said that he could read a thousand characters at the age of three and recite poems and books at the age of five. It can be seen that there is no great conflict between age and knowledge. I did not expect An Le to be a child prodigy. Just one word."

Xie Jin also knew the person she was talking about, so he said with a smile that was not a smile: "Since your majesty knows the deeds of the child prodigy, do you know that although he is young, he has disappeared from the public when he grows up. He failed the imperial examination three times and fell behind. Sent home."

Unexpectedly she would say this, Jiang Zhao couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Anyway, I entrusted Han'er to you, how to teach and how to raise it is up to you."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Xie Jin nodded in agreement.

For this reason, Jiang Zhao also specially issued a document to give Xie Jin a name, calling him the talented person in the Palace of Qingyuan, a fourth-rank female official, and let Xie Jin get rid of the title of court lady.

And compared to the past when he was teaching the maids in the palace Zhengsi, now Xie Jin wants to teach the princess, and his status naturally rises like a tide. The imperial edict allowed him to be a minister to His Majesty, so the palace people changed the title of Xie Xie's writing to Master Xie.

What Jiang Zhao said to the outside world was that the female official of the lower palace was a maid in front of the imperial court, but she was finally promoted back in a roundabout manner. Compared with before, she had a higher status and was more valued by His Majesty.

It's just that Xie Jin would move to live in Qingyuan Hall, but Jiang Zhao didn't mention it, so everyone didn't dare to mention it without authorization.

So Xie Jin still lives in Xihe Palace, and is still a celebrity in front of His Majesty.

When Concubine Zhao received the news, everything had already been settled. She didn't know what kind of drug the emperor had taken to do this for the daughter of a criminal minister, and it also trampled on her face. on the ground.

In the palace, there are fewer masters and more slaves. Earlier, the matter of the lynching of the female official of Gong Zhengsi was brought up by Concubine Zhao.

Even though Xie Jin was taken away by Jiang Zhao and stayed in front of the imperial court, everyone only thought that she was lucky enough to win His Majesty's favor, but because of this, rumors of His Majesty openly confronting the concubine also spread.

Later, after the scandal of my aunt, the concubine recovered from her illness, and His Majesty never set foot in Tai'an Palace again. Now it has long been rumored in the palace that Concubine Zhao and His Majesty are at odds.

Prime Minister Zhao of the previous dynasty also heard about this, and sent a letter to Concubine Zhao, asking her to restrain her temper and not easily confront His Majesty. Concubine Zhao was also planning how to get back together with Jiang Zhao recently, but she did not expect to do something in front of her Before, Jiang Zhao actually put his selfishness towards Xie Jin on the bright side, how does this make people look at Concubine Zhao who has lost her sanctity?

Obviously, Jiang Zhao is doing everything now and doesn't care what Concubine Zhao thinks at all, and he almost writes on his face that he has a bad relationship with Concubine Zhao.

After all, Concubine Zhao is not the emperor's biological mother. In the past, relying on the connivance of the emperor, she regarded herself as the respect of the empress dowager. Now that there is a gap between the two of them, I don't know if it is an illusion. I always feel that there are palace people pointing at her behind her back. sleepless nights.

She finally couldn't help it, and wrote a letter to Zhao Xiang to complain about the grievances she suffered in the palace, implying that Zhao Xiang beat Jiang Zhao in the previous court, so that His Majesty realized the importance of their Zhao family, and took the initiative to give her face back.

Concubine Zhao was already favored by her father and brother before she came out of the court, and after she entered the palace, she gave the late emperor a lot of pillow talk for the Zhao family.

Therefore, Zhao Heng always obeyed his daughter's words, and sent any rare things at home to the palace first for her to enjoy, which can be called filial piety.

At the beginning of Jiang Zhao's accession to the throne, Concubine Zhao had just lost her son. Zhao Heng feared that she would be unhappy in the harem, so he specially asked His Majesty to treat Concubine Zhao kindly, and Jiang Zhao would naturally not insult him.

Later, Empress Dowager Lu died of illness, and Concubine Zhao took over the harem, and Jiang Zhao treated her preferentially. Over time, Concubine Zhao inevitably became a little bit smug, thinking that she could surpass the emperor, but she never thought that because of a trivial matter of punishing a female official, Jiang Zhao would be punished. He separated from her, and didn't even bother to do superficial efforts.

Concubine Zhao couldn't swallow this breath, but Jiang Zhao was the emperor after all, she thought about it and could only ask her mother's family for help.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Xiang did not agree to deal with her this time, but wrote back to warn her to keep her own place. He was tired of being restrained by the previous court, and he had no energy to save face for her.

The harem is not allowed to participate in politics. Concubine Zhao only knows that the Zhao family is powerful, but she doesn't know that the emperor can't tolerate forces that can touch the imperial power. She originally planned to settle it slowly in a few years later, but because of her momentary reckless behavior, Jiang Zhao's tolerance was completely broken. that string.

Zhao Heng didn't expect that the young empress, who was immature in his eyes, had a long-term vision but lacked strength, would grow so much faster than he imagined.

Jiang Zhao didn't hide his purpose of mobilizing the family, but Zhao Heng always regarded her as a petty trouble, without hurting the flesh, so he never took him seriously.

But when Jiang Zhao really issued an edict to cut the powerful net that he had painstakingly managed into a mess, which made him feel extremely headache, he really saw the threat from the imperial power.

Regarding the situation and thoughts of Zhao's father and daughter, Jiang Zhao has nothing to know for the time being, and he has no intention to pay attention to it.

A post envoy knocked on the gate of the palace at night, and rushed to report from [-] miles away. The earthquake in Lizhou, Yunyang Prefecture, affected several surrounding counties and counties, and the number of casualties exceeded [-]. , Send a post envoy to Beijing to ask His Majesty for disaster relief.

Jiang Zhao called all the ministers to discuss matters overnight, and the lights did not stop.

At dawn, all the officials were tired, the young court officials were better, and the older ones, like the left and right, were all pale and breathless, but the emperor took the lead in suffering, and no one dared to say tired words.

It was Jiang Zhao himself who noticed a few weak veterans, gave them seats, and asked the palace servants to cook a few pots of ginseng tea, so that they could hold their breath and prevent them from falling into the imperial study.

Taking advantage of the rest of the senior ministers, the imperial study room, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally had a chance to breathe.

Sitting behind the table, Jiang Zhao looked up at the ministers in the hall one by one. They were all extremely familiar faces, all of them were high-ranking officials, and they were all humerus ministers supported by the people's taxes.

At this moment, they all lost the high-spiritedness of fighting openly and covertly in the court hall, nor did they have the endless perseverance of never giving up until they reached their goals. They entered the palace in a hurry, disheveled, and completely lost any energy. Not to mention the domineering and domineering posture.

Jiang Zhao sneered silently, and stretched out his hand to slap the table. Everyone was so frightened that they immediately became dignified and did not dare to relax.

"I will give you half an hour to go to the imperial dining room to have breakfast, and half an hour later to continue the discussion. If there is a moment of delay, take off your official hat, take off your official robe, and drive you out of the capital with twenty sticks. Reuse!"

The king's face was as deep as water, and his voice was cold and emotionless. All the officials shuddered, not daring to raise any objections. They all bowed their heads and bowed, and said loudly, "I respectfully obey the holy order!"

Jiang Zhaodao: "Yu Xingqiu stays here, and the others follow Gao Sheng'an to eat."

Everyone cast a sympathetic look at Yu Xingqiu, Shangshu of the Household Department, but they didn't dare to look too much, for fear of being caught by His Majesty and making use of it, they followed Gao Shengan out of the palace gate and went to the imperial dining room.

Jiang Zhao left the head of the Household Department, who just wanted to intervene in the financial affairs of the imperial court, so without waiting for her to waste any time, Yu Xingqiu knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, there have been few disasters in the world in recent years, and the national treasury is still relatively rich. But since July, there are two sums of money to be allocated, one is the 30 army food and salaries at the border, and the other is the renovation and reinforcement of the five local embankments. , please Your Majesty make a decision."

When the first emperor was in power, he was greedy for pleasure, expanded many palaces, and even built a luxurious imperial mausoleum for himself. When Jiang Zhao came to the throne, the treasury was so empty that mice ran away.

She had only saved some money and food for three years after she ascended the throne. In addition to the necessary military pay, she looked at local booklets for a long time before she decided to strengthen and repair embankments. She also formulated some policies for this. It is already a certainty that the construction can start when the money is in place.

It's just that I never expected that accidents always come faster than planned, and they must be caught off guard.

The military salary has to be given, otherwise it will be like breaking the backbone.

The embankment also had to be repaired. Jiang Zhao asked people to survey it on the spot, and it was indeed at the end of its strength. It should have been repaired a few years ago, but the late emperor delayed appropriating the funds. Now, it can no longer withstand a spring rain.

However, in the face of natural disasters, the people of Lizhou are still waiting to heal their injuries and save their lives and rebuild their homes.

Jiang Zhao pondered for a long time, unable to make a decision.

"You go to eat too, let me think about it again." Jiang Zhao bent his elbows and leaned on the table, holding his brows together, suffering from a severe headache.

Yu Xingqiu stood up, took two steps and then stopped, said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is the end of the matter, and you still need to make up your mind about everything. You must take care of yourself."

Jiang Zhao responded lightly, and waved him to go.

As soon as Yu Xingqiu left, the hall was empty, only Jiang Zhao was left.

She dealt with government affairs until late last night, when the postman brought the urgent music into the palace, she had just laid down not long after, before she even fell asleep, she immediately got out of bed with clothes on, and summoned the ministers to discuss matters, almost without closing her eyes all night.

But she didn't feel tired. Instead, she was clear-headed, and her mind was full of the casualties on the memorial. Even when she closed her eyes, she could imagine that the writing in the memorial was rushed, the handwriting was messy, and there were two mistakes. words.

But Jiang Zhao didn't dislike it, nor did he tear it up. He read it over and over again, engraving every word in his mind.

The memorial said that because the incident happened suddenly, the area involved was very wide, and the rescue task was too heavy, so we can only make a preliminary count of the number of casualties. The number of more than [-] will never be the final result. Your Majesty, please rescue the people of Lizhou.

The memorial said that in an instant, the houses collapsed, no one was buried, the ground cracked for hundreds of miles, and the mountains and rocks rolled down. The village's strong men, women and children could not escape, and they wailed everywhere, which was shocking.

Song Shize, the prefect of Lizhou, his mother, wife and children were all killed, so he turned back to save the people and died; Meng Zhun, the governor of the state, led a yamen servant to save people, and lost an arm; With the boulder on his shoulders, exhausted and exhausted...

After Jiang Zhao watched the rush, he immediately sent someone to deliver an edict to Lu Cangyu, asking him to mobilize troops from areas not affected by the disaster near Lizhou to go to Lizhou for disaster relief.

But the capital city is far from Lizhou, even if the Chollima is flying fast, the post envoys will go to Beijing, and the return journey, no one knows what Lizhou is like now.

Jiang Zhao had never been to Lizhou, so she couldn't describe the local conditions and customs of Lizhou in her mind, but according to the description written by Lizhou Zhou Cheng, she imagined a scene of purgatory on earth in her mind, and couldn't help but feel cold hands and feet, There was a layer of cold sweat on the back, and the headache was even more unbearable, and it was almost about to burst.

She simply clenched her palms into fists and hit her head hard a few times.

"Azhao!"

As soon as Xie Jin entered the door, he saw Jiang Zhao beating his head with his fists, and his face changed in fright. He rushed over to hold her hands down, and asked in a trembling voice, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Zhao's face was as white as paper, and there was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. Seeing Xie Jin's anxious face, he wanted to comfort her, but tears fell the moment he opened his mouth.

"Sister." She forgot her golden words, and called out the familiar address again with a trembling voice, slurring: "How can I save... What should I do... Li Zhou... Zhen... how can I save her?" them……"

Xie Jin couldn't understand what she was talking about, but only heard Yuan Xiang say that she woke up in the middle of the night to discuss matters, and the water and rice hadn't moved until now, and she was worried and worried, so she wanted to come and take a look.

She didn't know what happened to Jiang Zhao, and she didn't know how to help her, but seeing Jiang Zhao's current situation, she seemed to see the little girl whose face was flooded with tears when she first met, the pain and pain in her heart. The sourness gushed out in an instant, and she only thought that no matter what, she would bear it on her behalf.

With both arms, Xie Jin hugged Jiang Zhao, who was already much taller than her, into her arms, just like hugging the shivering little maid six years ago, whispering in her ear: "Don't be afraid, sister is here , Sister will protect you."

Jiang Zhao embraced her with his backhand, took a deep breath, and cried out with sobs.

The author has something to say:

In fact, Jiang Zhao has been on the throne for three years and has not seen much of the world. Xie Jin also said earlier that there are no disasters and no wars. She praised her emperor for doing well...

In the end, something really happened, and it was Barbie Q. After all, there is a growth label in our copywriting!
