The world is heavy and late

Chapter 89
Although it is already mid-July, it still needs to be harvested quickly, because it has been raining a lot these days, and it is still a heavy rainstorm.

Xia Qing was very happy to see the rain. She even stood under the eaves to catch the rain with her hands, but her sleeves got wet. She looked at the wet sleeves and felt a little ready to move.

She wants to go for a run in the rain, Gu Weiyun is also sitting in front of the window, she is more than five months old now.

But she doesn't like to move on weekdays. If Aunt Qiu hadn't stipulated that she must walk a few times a day, she wouldn't be able to get up. It's really uncomfortable to have something in her stomach.

Now she was sitting lazily by the window watching the rain outside, and seeing Xia Qing's appearance, she said, "If you dare to go out today, tomorrow I will deliver thick oil and red sauce from the Secretary of Food."

Gu Weiyun gave her a dark look, feeling that Xia Qing was still like a child, and she didn't know how to maintain it, she was becoming more and more childlike.

Xia Qing's feet stiffened immediately, and after more than a month, Xia Qing finally accepted the fact that he was gaining weight and began to lose weight.

In the past, when the emperor was away, she would eat with Gu Weiyun, but after Gu Weiyun became pregnant, Xia Qing seldom ate with her.

Gu Weiyun's taste has become more and more strange since she became pregnant. The vinegar smell in the dish a few days ago could be smelled from far away.

But recently they ate together again, because Gu Weiyun likes to eat light food now, and she also...must eat light food.

So after hearing Gu Weiyun's words, she turned her head and said with a serious face, "Aunt Qiu said that you are too heavy now, so you can't eat those."

Seeing Xia Qing's appearance, Gu Weiyun slowly took a sip of the so-called baby-raising tea: "You look more and more like Mr. Xu with a straight face now."

The new maid next to her hurriedly joked, "Isn't it? The servant girl looks very similar."

Weiyang Palace now has 20 maids and servants each, which is very respectable, and the empress only has 24 according to the system.

Xia Qing smiled triumphantly when she heard Gu Weiyun's words, she thought, this is a compliment that they are husband and wife.

Eunuch Xiang looked at the ignorant faces of the maids in the palace, then at Xia Qing who was winking with Gu Weiyun, lowered his head and smiled faintly.

I don't know why Xia Qing was so smart and lively after staying in the palace for so long, and he was only calm when facing outsiders.

Everyone in Weiyang Palace enjoyed the rain happily, and the time was peaceful.

But the atmosphere in Qinzheng Hall was really not good. The emperor looked at Zhang Zhi with a gloomy face and said, "Zhang Qing, why do you think they don't want to send food?"

It is not really a secret that the wheat seeds that the emperor decided to distribute at a loss were finally made public two days ago.

Everyone has heard about it more or less, but today they know that the emperor's determination is so great that he wants to send [-]% directly.

Of course they knew that the emperor did this to speed up the process, but... thinking about where the wheat seeds came from, their scalps felt numb for a while.

The emperor decided to announce this decision at this time. Of course, everything is ready and only owes the east wind.

Because this batch of wheat seeds has basically been harvested, it only needs to be dried.

Gu Lei replied to Gu Weiyun and Gu Weiyun quickly, so the emperor also knew the news.

But I never expected that I was not selling the card, but stopping to deliver it.

In fact, it's not that no one is willing to go, but that the emperor has never found a suitable person to go.

The people he likes don't want to go, and those who want to recommend himself, he either looks down on them or can't do without them.

Zhang Zhi actually wanted to go, but when the emperor thought about his age, he refused to let him go for a walk. Now the court still cannot do without a humerus like Mr. Zhang Zhi.

Zhang Zhi, who heard the emperor's words, bowed his head and replied calmly: "I think His Majesty thinks too much."

The emperor sighed and said, "Why don't I call Xie Huizhi back?"

Zhang Zhi endured it, but still couldn't hold back, he yelled at the emperor, thinking that the emperor's words were out of his wits, and Xie Huizhi had only been to Xiazhou for a few months, so maybe the disaster victims didn't make arrangements, so he would call them over.

Emperor: ... I just sighed.The emperor was a little unhappy about being sprayed, so he said: "Then who do you think I will send to go, who can leave now to do this, it is estimated that it will take about a year."

Zhang Zhi: ... "I think it's good for the Governor of Jingzhao or Mr. Lu to go."

The emperor said directly: "The Governor of Jingzhao is powerful, but who can succeed him. I hope that someone who is a little stronger will go, so as not to fear the family, but when Lu Jin goes, will he send food or kill people? "

Zhang Zhi paused for a moment and said: "The second son of Cao Xiu, Minister of the Household Department, is young and mature, he has a plan in his mind, and he acts quite prudently."

The emperor said: "Hmph, that kid is not as good as his father, and he is indecisive."

Zhang Zhi thought that this matter should not be too tender, so he thought for a while and said: "The eldest grandson of Du Pan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, acted swiftly and decisively, and was very quick-witted."

The emperor sneered and said, "He's not as good as Cao Erlang, so he's a waste of money."

Now Zhang Zhi really felt that the emperor had a lot to do, so he said, "Then who does your Majesty think is suitable?"

The emperor really thought about it and said, "What do you think of Li Ji's eldest son? He was doing well in the Ministry of Punishment a few days ago."

Zhang Zhi was speechless for a while, and then quietly said: "Li Dalang is very good, but your Majesty has forgotten that Li Dalang was engaged a while ago, and the wedding date is in December. I just don't know if the emperor can wait."

Without even thinking about it, the emperor opened his mouth to ask others to postpone the marriage.

But when he opened his mouth to speak, he saw Zhang Zhi looking at him with burning eyes.

He felt that what he was going to say would definitely be drowned by Zhang Zhi's saliva.

Zhang Zhi looked at the emperor and said slowly: "A few years ago, the child of the Li family was worried about Ding's mother. He had made the woman wait for three years. Now he is nineteen, and he will be twenty when he gets married at the end of the year." , if His Majesty asks people to postpone it for another two years, I'm afraid it will cause grudges with the woman."

The emperor opened his mouth and wanted to talk, he wanted to say that such a big matter of the world's people's livelihood could not be worth the woman's side?
But still did not say it, the emperor still wants to face.

He just looked at Zhang Zhi with some displeasure and said, "What about the Prince Xin'an?"

Zhang Zhi looked at the emperor and said, "I'm afraid he is more capable of beheading people than Master Lu."

The emperor and Zhang Zhi sighed inwardly, because there are still few talents, so Zhang Zhi said, "Your Majesty, why don't you hold the imperial examination next year?"

The emperor nodded, and then said as if remembering something: "In the last imperial examination, more than half of the Jinshi list were from Qinghe County."

Zhang Zhi was silent for a while and said: "After all, the aristocratic family has a deep foundation, and there are many schools in the local area, so there are many students and apprentices who are grateful."

The emperor looked at the pile of papers in front of him, and it was not easy for the emperor who had just arrived to admit defeat like this.

So he said: "Ai Qing thinks that I have neither fought nor made any moves in the past few years, so what is the reason for not consuming the treasury?"

Zhang Zhi was a little worried that the emperor would rush forward and wanted to fight the aristocratic family directly, so he said: "Your Majesty should act safely and be careful of backlash."

The emperor raised his head and looked at the sky outside the house: "I won't take care of them. Since they want to run a school, they can do it themselves. Can't I do it? I am the Son of Heaven."

On the way back, Zhang Zhi kept thinking about the emperor's words. He knew what the emperor was thinking, but it was not an easy matter after all, and he should plan it first.

The emperor didn't continue to think about those things, he couldn't be in a hurry, he knew this very well.

But now he is indeed a little anxious, he can't find anyone to distribute food.

The emperor looked out of the window at the rain still falling, and he was really not in a good mood.

Xu Zhong has been waiting in the hall, and he is also a little worried.

If this time is missed, the war between the emperor and the aristocratic family will probably last a long time, and the common people are still too thin after all.

Xu Zhong lowered his eyes and thought that the benefits of this matter are too small and the risks are too great. Of course, the old fox who has been in the officialdom for so many years can see clearly.

Don't they want to do it?As long as there are people in their hearts, people want to do it, but they don't want to do it by themselves.

After offending the family, you don't know if you can save your life. The people will not remember you, and the emperor will not always remember you. Then doing this shows that there is no benefit at all.

And this is really not a matter of merit, it is not as honorable as compiling a book.
