The disasters that had been raging for a long time were gradually brought under control. In order to resist such a situation, the emperor sent Cui Shi as an envoy to the north. On the one hand, he was able to investigate the local disaster situation, and on the other hand, he wanted to improve policies and measures to prevent the cold Although Cui Shi didn't understand political affairs, he could be regarded as the most profound and learned talent in the court.

He has written so many books that even hundreds of officials do not want to believe that he wrote them himself. After all, in his opinion, Cui Shi only relied on his ability to brag and flatter to become Guang Luxun. The writing of prose is indeed very good. Most of the prose that praises the merits of the emperor in temples today are learned from him, and he can also be regarded as the leader of the prose style in the Jianning period.

But he also has his own shortcomings. He doesn't know anything about state administration. Just look at his works, most of which are related to civil affairs, such as how to farm, how to build, how to raise animals, how to provide disaster relief, etc., but there is no How to govern the country, the emperor is not worried at all that he will be in a hurry and be at a loss when he arrives in Xinzhou. After all, there is Xing Ziang there who will help him.

What Cui Shi wants is to give the local people certain suggestions and general ideas in general. Naturally, he will not continue to implement the rest. Cui Shi has a gentle temperament and does not have the slightest unruly literati disposition. This is why the emperor loves him so much. , these years, he is the only minister in the Manchu Dynasty who has not been punished by the emperor. Even Cao Song, who wholeheartedly obeyed the emperor, has been punished, but he has never been punished.

Soon, Cui Shi rushed to the north, and Xing Ziang went to meet him in person. Cui Shi also visited everywhere in a leisurely manner, and then locked himself in the room, writing something. Xing Ziang visited several times, but failed to see Cheng, the entourage said that Cui Gong was writing about the strategy of fighting disasters. Hearing this news, Xing Ziang didn't dare to disturb him anymore.

Xing Ziang's project in the north had no choice but to stop because of this cold winter. Before the people in these prefectures recovered, it was impossible for him to continue the construction. Now, his duty has become to help Cui Shi to build a Take measures to resist disasters.

Things in the north continued like this, Yang Qiu was brought back to his hometown, buried in a rich manner, and the people along the road escorted him one after another, distraught, among the officials, even those ministers who were jealous of Yang Qiu fell silent, and spoke to Yang Qiu. Qiu's behavior showed enough respect. At the suggestion of Governor Lu Zhi, the emperor agreed to set up a temple for Yang Qiu in Qinzhong County, Xinzhou.

Soon, these things subsided.

At noon, Yuan Gonggong was in the study room, looking up the taxation and trifles of various places. A servant came and gave him a letter. Yuan Feng took the letter. The letter was written by the eunuch Chen Dan. Yuan Feng was able to go to his courtyard and get together with him to discuss important matters. He also specifically stated that this matter has a great relationship with taxes, and he hoped that Yuan Gong would come if necessary.

Yuan Gong originally wanted to decline, but when he saw the line behind him, he thought for a long time, the disaster in the north, many livestock were killed and injured, so what the eunuch said might be related to this?Yuan Feng couldn't sit still anymore, so he got up immediately to get ready, and rushed towards the courtyard of the eunuch. The eunuch Chen Dan, whose name is Han Gong, is from Donghai.

Yuan Feng rushed to his mansion in a hurry, but saw a group of people standing outside the door, waiting for his arrival.

Yuan Feng was startled, the people who came here, Wei Wei Xu Yu, Da Sinonong Zhang Ji, Tai Chang Zhang Xun, Yi Lang Han Shuo, Tai Shi Ling Shan Yang, etc., are all famous in the court The scholars, Yuan Feng met with them one by one, and they were taken to the mansion enthusiastically just now, the eunuch Chen Dan was waiting for them, seeing Yuan Feng coming, he got up and wanted to meet.

Yuan Feng took the first step and went to see him first, because Chen Dan was quite old and had always been on good terms with Yuan Feng's father, so Yuan Feng didn't want to be rude.

Everyone was sitting together, and there was the little yellow gate standing not far away, holding a pen and ink, this was the policy set by Wang Fu in the past, whenever the ministers gathered, there must be a yellow gate to supervise them, nominally to supervise them. Drinking, hurting the body and making mistakes, in fact, it is to supervise the officials, and not to have any improper remarks at the party.

Chen Dan said, "This time, there are many livestock casualties in the north. I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the animal husbandry tax this year."

When he talked about the relevant matters, Yuan Feng frowned and listened carefully. These ministers also suggested solutions from time to time. This matter still needs to be discussed by Yuan Feng and Chen Dan. It was mentioned in the discussion that the rest of the Jiuqing also raised their own needs for horses, cattle and sheep, especially horses, and every important position is needed.

While discussing, suddenly a follower came in, reported to Chen Dan, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, something serious has happened to the horse prison!"

Chen Dan was taken aback, got up quickly, and said, "I have something important to do, so I'll take a step forward, and the gentlemen will discuss it first." After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry, Yuan Feng and others sent him away, Yuan Feng looked at him Many ministers asked, "Do you have any words to offer?"

Everyone looked at Yuan Feng with smiles, their eyes gradually became a little strange, they looked at each other a few times, and then said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, there is one more person, Mr. Yuan needs to see him."

Yuan Fengzheng was confused, and one person quietly walked in from the outside of the house, came to Yuan Feng, bowed, and said: "He Jin, the master craftsman, pay homage to Yuan Gong!"

There was a loud noise in Yuan Feng's ears, and he stood up abruptly, pointing at him, pointing at the other officials, and asked angrily, "What do you want to do?"

"Yuan Gong, we are here for the big man, don't be anxious, please sit down!" Xu Yu said earnestly.

Yuan Feng looked at the Huangmen not far away with some doubts. The little Huangmen lowered his head and almost hid his head in his arms. He was still writing something in his hand. However, Yuan Feng knew in his heart that he must Not writing the content of their conversation at the moment, Xu Yu noticed his eyes, smiled and said: "Don't worry, this person is He Guiren's confidant and close friend."

"What do you want to do?"

"Yuan Gong, you know in your heart that the king of Gongyang is in power, and we party members have suffered from it. Of course, your majesty is a wise king. He governs the country and we love him deeply. It's just that your highness, the crown prince, has been stubborn since childhood. Unbearable and violent by nature, he also beat Yuan Gong's second son, and also beat Yuan Gong's elder brother. A few days ago, he went to Hedong to force the people and marry Cai Gongnv."

"Enough! What do you want to do?"

"We want to revitalize the superintendent and change the reserve for your majesty. The emperor doesn't like the prince either. The one the emperor loves is the second son. However, the prince Xie is weak and sick. He can't speak at the age of three, so he can't be the reserve. , while the other Zi An is naturally intelligent."

"Shut up! This is treason, I, Yuan Feng, will never take part in your crimes!"

Yuan Feng got up and roared angrily.

"Mr. Yuan doesn't follow, so it's hard to go out." Da Sinong Zhang Ji put his hand on his saber and said coldly. Yuan Feng sneered and said proudly: "My son is the captain of the Southern Army, and more He is a disciple of He Zi, you want to kill me? If you are not afraid of being revenged by my son in the future, and kill you and other three clans, you can do whatever you want!!!"

"Mr. Zhang, take back the sword." Xu Yu held Zhang Ji down, looked at Yuan Feng with some embarrassment, and said, "If that's the case, then please go back."

Zhang Ji got up, and asked with some puzzlement: "Let him go like this, if he leaks the secret, what should we do?"

"Mr. Zhang, we are not conspiring to rebel, but we are wholeheartedly for His Majesty, for the sake of the great man, why not be afraid of it, besides, Mr. Yuan is my close friend and friend. If Mr. Yuan leaks the secret, you can kill me first!" Xu Yu said a little Said seriously.

Hearing these words, Yuan Feng also fell into a struggle in his heart. He gave them a cold look, turned around and left.

Watching him leave, the rest of them shook their heads helplessly and sighed.

"Xu Jun, if he goes out and leaks secrets, what should we do?" He Jin asked with some relief.

Xu Yu's eyes flickered with disdain, and he still smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. He, I know Yuan Fengzhi is a man. If he uses force to force him, he will definitely inform him, but what I said just now, he will never harm you." kill my friend"
