The little queen is squeamish, and the tyrant of prey coaxes her every night

Chapter 233 It's a Secret
Fu Yao looked at the eunuch silently.

The eunuch Jin felt a little oppressive and repeated it again.

Fu Yao still only had two words: "No reply."

With such a firm attitude, the eunuch's face darkened a little bit.

There was also a warning tone in the tone: "Empress Empress, this is the order of the Empress Dowager."

"I know." Fu Yao still looked calm and indifferent: "But I will not go back to the palace."

After saying this, without waiting for the eunuch to respond, Fu Yao called the servant in and ordered, "Please go out, eunuch."

The two servants who came in looked at each other in blank dismay, they both knew that this was the Empress Dowager's person, and they also knew about their own lady's situation, so they didn't know whether they should do it or not.

Seeing this, Xinliu hurriedly stepped forward to stand in front of Fu Yao and said, "Didn't you hear the empress's order? Why don't you hurry up and invite him out? Who is he who dares to threaten the empress? Don't forget that you are from the prime minister's residence!"

As soon as these words came out, the two servants immediately reacted, half-forcibly "invited" the eunuch out.

Just outside the main hall door, Mrs. Fu and Prime Minister Fu rushed over in a hurry, only to hear the eunuch roar angrily: "Queen, I am sent by the Empress Dowager to deliver the Empress Dowager's order. You are so disrespectful, it is simply unreasonable!"

Madam Fu's face changed: "This..."

With a sullen face, Fu Chengxiang hurried to the main hall again, and saw Fu Yao sitting there, seeing him coming in, and winking at him slyly, Fu Chengxiang suddenly felt relieved.

He asked Qingliu beside him: "This person didn't say anything ugly, did he?"

Xinliu immediately said: "He said the queen mother's will, if the queen mother does not return to the palace now, she will be a harem of cholera, and the queen will be abolished!"

When Prime Minister Fu and his wife heard this, their expressions immediately changed.

Mrs. Fu was even more panicked: "What can I do, the queen mother must have watched the emperor leave, and deliberately came to trouble the child. This medicine is really used for such a reason to abolish the queen, then in the future..."

"Don't worry." Fu Chengxiang comforted him, but his face was not very good-looking, and he was looking for a solution with a frowning face.

If the queen mother does this, the child will definitely be wronged when he goes back to the palace. If he doesn't go back to the palace, this...

"Father, mother!"

Just when the two of them were devastated, Fu Yao got up and walked to the two of them, and said with burning eyes, "I'm not afraid."

"How do you know how powerful it is..." Fu Chengxiang subconsciously said.

"I know, I did it on purpose."

Fu Yao's eyes were shining, and his voice was unusually firm.

Fu Chengxiang, who didn't believe it at first, looked at Fu Yao's eyes, and gradually came back to his senses: "What can you do?"

"Li Wei..."

"Don't call the emperor by his first name!"

As soon as Fu Yao opened his mouth, Prime Minister Fu scolded him.

She pouted and changed her address before saying: "When the emperor left, he left me an imperial edict, allowing me to go home and visit relatives."

Xinliu handed the imperial edict to Prime Minister Fu and his wife from behind with a smile.

It took a while for Prime Minister Fu to react: "Then why didn't you let the Queen Mother's people know just now, so you can't use this to make things difficult for you if you remove the Queen Mother?"

Fu Yao said, "This is a secret."

"Since it is the imperial edict specially left by the emperor for you to go home and visit your relatives, it is natural for everyone in the world to know, so it is only natural for you to stay at home. How can you hide it?"

Prime Minister Fu disagreed with Fu Yao's approach.

"In my opinion, it's better to let everyone know about this edict, so that the queen mother can't make things difficult for you."

Fu Yao shook his head.

Regardless of whether there is this edict, the queen mother will definitely make things difficult for her.

She also knew that just relying on this edict would only give herself more reason to live at home, but it would not cause any harm to the Queen Mother.

But the queen mother will be angry!

When the queen mother is angry, she will be much happier!
The queen mother was really angry. When she learned that the person she sent was just driven out by the Fu family, the queen mother smashed the teacup in her hand angrily, wishing to tear Fu Yao's body to pieces.

Before, I just thought it was a little fool sent to the palace, but I didn't expect it to become more and more annoying.

After a while, the queen mother calmed down and put Fu Yao's affairs aside for the time being.

Now that the emperor is leaving the palace, this is the top priority.

……

Li Mi hurried on and rushed to Linchuan in four days.

Zhang Jiqian was the first to hear the news and rushed outside the city to greet him. When he saw Li Mi leading people into the city, Zhang Jiqian immediately stepped forward.

"I pay homage to the emperor!"

Li Mi dismounted and helped Zhang Jiqian get up: "There is no need to be polite, we will talk about it at the posthouse."

"Yes."

Zhang Jiqian hastily responded, and led a group of officials from Linchuan to the post house surrounded by Li Mi.

After such a publicity circle, people will soon spread the word that the emperor came here in person, which is also a good thing.

When they arrived at the posthouse, Li Wei ignored the travel and dust, and after seeing the other officials, he let them go back, leaving only Zhang Jiqian to ask how the situation in Linchuan was.

Zhang Jiqian's official robe was still stained with this mud, and his trouser legs were rolled up. He had just gone to inspect the river embankment, and when he came back from the river embankment, Zhang Jiqian shook his head and sighed when he heard Li Min's question.

"Your Majesty, I came here to realize that the flood in Linchuan was not a one-day event. Now it is in dire straits. The rainy season is coming. The river embankment will burst if the water volume rises. But at this time, there is no money, food and materials to build the embankment."

Li Wei frowned: "Please explain carefully."

Zhang Jiqian clapped his hands in answer, and then said:
"Flooding along the river has always been the most concerned issue of the imperial court. After the emperor ascended the throne, he built dams several times to strengthen protection, but floods still flood every year, and the people along the river suffer unspeakably."

"In the past, I only thought it was the rapid flood. Now, it is clear that the corpse of the official in charge of the flood is a vegetarian meal. The dams along the river do not use floods, and they are crumbling when the wind blows. There are even some places where some wood is piled up, and some mud is randomly powdered, and it is regarded as the completion of the dam construction. If this is the case, how can the people not be affected?"

A shadow fell in Li Shi's eyes.

His voice was low: "The imperial court allocates a lot of money for water control along the river every year, but it turns out that they are doing things perfunctorily like this."

Presumably, all the saved silver went into the pockets of officials at all levels.

Zhang Jiqian said: "Your Majesty, the money given out by the imperial court is indeed not a small amount, but after being corrupted one by one, the money actually used for water control here is pitifully small. When I first came here, I checked Linchuan and Mengchuan. The officials in Linchuan are quite conscientious, and there is almost no corruption. But even so, the money they got is not enough. I asked Mr. He. He had written to the court before, but there was no response."

What else does Li Shi not understand?
Taking the money that was originally used to control the water, bribed all the officials in central Beijing, and if the people below want to pass the papers up, I am afraid that the papers will be intercepted halfway.
