After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

The first day of December in the twenty-fifth year of Zhaohua.

Emperor Ning Li Chenan left Yujing City and headed for Changle City.

There weren't many people accompanying him.

But there were quite a few dogs brought.

Five out of ten carriages contained dog cages!
Of course this job was not arranged by Li Chenan, but by this guy Bu Nian Monk.

In addition to Xiao Baozi, the rest were accompanied by Qiu Balou, Xiang Qingyun, and Zhuang Dingchun.

Of course, there were also Lao Wei and several other coachmen and several maids.

The team was small and left Kyoto early, so it did not alarm the people of Kyoto.

Even the officials in the DPRK knew very little.

When Li Wenhou had some free time two days later, he remembered the ten million taels of silver and ran to the imperial study in a hurry, only to realize that Li Chenan had left Kyoto and gone far away.

I didn’t get a penny of this money!
The IOU is still in Li Chenan's hands!

For no reason at all, I had to bear a debt of 10 million taels of silver...

Li Wenhou stood in front of the imperial study room, with the wind and snow pouring into his neck. He shuddered, but felt even colder inside.

This is definitely not possible!
Even if you can't get the ten million taels of silver, you still have to get the IOU back!
The longer the night, the more dreams there will be. In a few days, if that little bastard Li Chenan refuses to admit his guilt, then he will be unable to defend himself.

Wen Boyu knew this and had to ask him to be a witness for him.

With this in mind, he turned and walked towards the cabinet.

Many official offices of the cabinet have newly built thermal pavilions, which are very warm inside.

Wen Boyu was in his chief auxiliary office looking at the recently delivered memorial. He looked up and saw Li Wenhou walking in. He waved:

"I was about to send someone to invite you, and you just happened to come."

"Come on, come on, look at this."

Li Wenhou: "...Master Wen,"

Unable to help Li Wenhou speak, Wen Boyu said again with an extremely solemn expression:
"The last urgent memorial was about the snow disaster in Youzhou on Beimo Road."

"Fortunately, the emperor had the foresight to send 300,000 kilograms of cotton to Huaibei County through the Zhuang family of Wu State. Fortunately, the emperor hired people properly and Tian Xiurong, the prefect of Youzhou, handled the matter in a timely manner."

"The snow disaster in Youzhou...for the first time, no one died."

Li Wenhou: "...Master Wen,"

Wen Boyu waved his hand and interrupted Li Wenhou:
"But this time the urgent report comes from Beimo Road...it was written by Shangyuan Shangdaotai!"

"It's still a snowstorm!"

"This time the area is larger, with a total of 12 counties in three states affected."

Li Wenhou: "...Master Wen,"

Wen Boyu waved his hand again, "Listen to me!"

"The most serious snow disaster this time is Hexi Prefecture... Shangdao Tai has ordered the opening of warehouses to release grain, but Beimo Road is not a grain-producing place."

"Shangdaotai did not adopt the court's policy of reducing agricultural taxes because it was afraid that there would be a heavy snowstorm there and the government's granary would be out of food."

"But now even if nearby states and counties use all the grain in the granary to provide relief to Hexi Prefecture, it won't last long."

"So, Shangdaotai asks the imperial court for support."

Li Wenhou: "...Master Wen,"

Wen Boyu thrust the urgent report into Li Wenhou's hand, "It seems that you also know about this matter. How do you think this matter should be handled more appropriately?"

Li Wenhou accepted the report: "No, Mr. Wen,"

Wen Boiyu stood up and put his hands behind his back: "In the end, this matter still needs to be solved by your department of household affairs. There is no point in calling me!"

"Master Li,"

Wen Boiyu took two steps and turned back:

"Shangdaotai said that the entire North Desert Road can support it for a few months at most... My suggestion is to mobilize food from Jiangnan Road and send it to Hexi Prefecture!"

Li Wenhou did not call Lord Wen this time. He answered this sentence: "But there is not much food in the Jiangnan Road government granary!"

Wen Boyu nodded. Because Li Chenan reduced agricultural taxes, Jiangnan Province responded most actively, resulting in the government reducing the grain tax by half.

In addition to the grain shipped to Kyoto, the local granaries did not have much food left.

"But there are people among the people!"

"You can buy it with money!"

Li Wenhou was stunned, want to spend money again? ! "Speaking of money, the emperor still owes me ten million taels!"

"If Mr. Wen can help me get ten million taels of silver from the emperor, I will go to Jiangnan myself to raise food!"

Wen Boyu suddenly became happy:
"Master Li, it will take a day or two to go to Changle City non-stop. We may not be able to find the emperor in Changle Palace."

"After one trip and one delay, I was there for at least five days!"

Patting Li Wenhou on the shoulder, Wen Boiyu paced and stood in front of the door, looking at the heavy snow outside:
"The disaster is greater than God!"

"Master Li, that ten million taels of silver is easy to handle. He is the emperor of Ning State. How can he not give it to you?"

"But the matter of allocating money to raise food is urgent!"

"If it is because of you that a large number of victims freeze to death and starve to death,"

Wen Boyu turned around and looked at Li Wenhou:

"Master Li, this is not easy to explain to the people across the country!"

"Isn't there still some money in the Account Department's account?"

"Didn't Luo Ye say that he would pay 50 million taels of silver to the state treasury this month?"

"There are priorities, I won't leave you to drink tea, go quickly!"

Li Wenhou was stunned, "...Master Wen,"

Wen Zhuoyu raised his eyebrows:
"By the way, Master Su's father, Mr. Su, is still in Kyoto. He is most familiar with the Jiangnan area. I think it would be faster for them to send someone to raise food."

"In addition, the Chen family in Yingzhou lives in Mr. Chen Dingmao, and the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Qinghe Cui family have people in Kyoto."

"All these powerful families have food stored in their homes!"

"We can't take advantage of it, we must buy it at the market price!"

"They also have their own caravans. We can negotiate the freight as appropriate. I'm afraid it will be cheaper than the imperial court organizing people to transport it."

Li Wenhou: "...Master Wen, I..."

"I know you also have difficulties, but how difficult is it for the people in the disaster area?"

Wen Boyu came to Li Wenhou and said seriously:

"Do you still remember "The Charcoal Seller" and "The Mountain Goat" written by the emperor?"

"The emperor values ​​the people of Ningguo the most!"

"No matter how difficult it is, we must overcome it. Your Majesty believes in you, and I... believe in you too!"

"The people in the disaster area... will thank you!"

Li Wenhou suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

He felt hot:
"I'm going right now!"

As soon as Li Wenhou walked out with his front foot, Wen Boiyu also walked out with his back foot.

He went to Taiyuan University.

In the small courtyard in the backyard, after looking at the closed door for a long time, he left again and went to Dingguo Hou's Mansion!
The identity of Dingguo Hou Zhonglipo was not made public by the emperor.

But Wen Boyu knew.

Zhongli Po had already left Dingguo Hou Mansion and was missing.

Mrs. Fan is looking for Zhongli Po and she doesn’t know where she is now.

But Dingguohou Mansion still exists.

Now, living in Dingguo Hou Mansion is Fan Taohua’s second son, Zhongli You from Zhongli Garden in Shuzhou!

Of course, Zhong Liyou also knows about Zhongli Mansion.

He must come to Kyoto from Shuzhou.

It's not to inherit the Marquis Mansion, but... to show Zhongli's loyalty to the Mansion!

Niece Zhongli Ruoshui has been by Li Chenan's side. She came back twice in the past few days and said everything was fine.

Everything should be fine.

But Zhongli Ruoshui's belly didn't change at all!

Li Chenan ascended the throne as emperor, but did not establish a queen...

This makes Zhong Liyou a little worried. (End of chapter)
