The best fake eunuch.

Chapter 180 Disaster Relief Controversy

In the imperial study room, the emperor sat silently, his face was a bit ugly, Lu Fang waited on him carefully.Concubine Duan died of measles, which made Zhu Zaihou a little gloomy. The drought in the northwest and banditry made him worry.

House Yi hurried to the palace, and when he reached the imperial study room, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to see me."

Zhu Zaihou closed his eyes and was dozing off. When the sound of House Yi sounded, Lu Fang saw that Zhu Zaihou hadn't moved, and carefully leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Fang is here."

Zhu Zaihou pulled himself together, opened his eyes, sat up a little, and said wearily towards the door: "Fang Aiqing is here, come in."

After House Yi kowtowed, he stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know why you summoned my servants here?"

Zhu Zaihou lightly tapped the dragon chair he was sitting on, and said with a slightly sad expression: "Fang Aiqing, you should already know about the drought in the Northwest. I am worried about this. What do you think of Aiqing? Tell me about it."

Fang Ziyi did not expect that the emperor summoned him urgently for this matter. On the surface, Dongchang did not participate in the affairs of the government. , should be discussed and decided by the ministers above the court, and the humble ministers dare not speak nonsense."

Fang Ziyi didn't know why the emperor asked such a question, nor did he know what the emperor wanted to say.The emperor's question was not within his duty, so he dared not answer it casually.

Zhu Zaihou was obviously dissatisfied with Fang Fangyi's answer.In several other incidents, the house change strategy played a big role. When things were uncertain, Zhu Zaihou thought of house change.

"Fang Aiqing's words are wrong. You are my minister. No matter what position you are in, you should share my worries and solve my problems. I am troubled by this matter. Aiqing can speak boldly." The emperor said again.

Lu Fang stood beside Zhu Zaihou, and upon hearing the words, she also took a step forward and said, "Master Fang, you don't know that the Emperor is so worried about the affairs of the Northwest that he doesn't think about eating and drinking. Everyone feels distressed, you and I As the emperor, I should solve the problem." Lu Fang would not speak casually, this move was intended to convey a message to Fang Fangyi.

House Yixin understood, pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the people are the foundation of the country. If the people's hearts are in chaos, the foundation of the country will be shaken. I think that taxes should be reduced and taxed, and I will send disaster relief ministers to appease the victims."

"Aiqing is right. I have thought of all these things. I just have a headache because the opinions of the ministers of all parties are difficult to unify, and I cannot weigh the interests of all parties."

The dispute between Xu Jie and Gao Gong was just in line with Zhu Zaihou's wishes, which could balance the court, check each other, and prevent one person from monopolizing the power of the court.

Up to now, the disadvantages have also appeared, the house is easy to be confused, if it is just that, the emperor will not worry, only need to weigh the decision, it seems that the emperor is worried about other things.

"Your Majesty, you are the Nine-Five Supreme Being. If you say what you say, you can say everything. If the Emperor makes a decree, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty must not dare to object. Why is the Emperor so worried?" Fang Ziyi said respectfully.

Sure enough, Zhu Zaihou smiled bitterly and said: "Aiqing only knows one thing, but not the other. The current treasury is not full. Once disaster relief starts, it will inevitably lead to a deficit in the treasury."

Fang Ziyi felt helpless, Zhu Zaihou was worried because he didn't want to bleed.So to say that such a hot potato, Xu Jie and Gao Gong, the two old foxes, should avoid it, so why would they rush to provide disaster relief?

"Your Majesty, since the ministers in the court are vying to be disaster relief ministers, why not ask them to find a way to raise relief money?" Fang Fangyi knew that if he asked such a question, the Emperor would definitely tell the plan proposed by Xu Jie and Gao Gong, and then he would Put forward your own opinions in due course.

Zhu Zaihou sneered coldly, and said displeasedly: "All the ministers in the court should relieve their worries like Ai Qing. They only care about their own interests. They want to relieve the disaster, but they can't come up with a satisfactory solution."

When the emperor summoned House Yi, the houses of Xu Jie and Gao Gong became lively.Above the court, the emperor did not express his position, so neither faction wanted to give up.In the two mansions, the core figures of the two factions gathered together to discuss countermeasures in order to prepare for this chance of disaster relief.

On the only way to enter the palace, Xu Jie and Gao Gong met unexpectedly, and were about to enter the palace to meet the emperor.Xu Jie said to Gao Gong, "Hehe, Mr. Gao."

Gao Gong also cupped his hands and said, "Master Xu."

The two old foxes knew the purpose of each other's trip, they greeted each other and stopped talking, and walked towards the palace together.When they reached the outside of the imperial study room, Fang Yi happened to come out of it.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong saw the house at the same time, Xu Jie was very scheming, he smiled at the house and said, "Grandpa Fang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Gao Gong had just suffered from the house change, and hated the house so much that his teeth itch.Seeing the house changing hands with a wave, he snorted angrily.

House Yi didn't care, looked at Gao Gong with a smile, and said, "Master Gao, happy new year, I hope that my family can still look like Master Gao next year. But don't worry, if you can't come, my family will have to travel through mountains and rivers. I also want to see your old man. Come and sit in your new home."

"you……"

Gao arched his eyes and stared, exhaled, and pointed at the house with his finger, but couldn't speak.House Yi was in a good mood, let out a big laugh, and turned to leave.

Fang Ziyi left the imperial study room and did not go out of the palace, but went to Zhao Lingying's place.Things have been busy for a few days, and during the New Year, Fang Fangyi has not been able to spend time with Zhao Lingying.

In the room, Zhao Lingying was fiddling with her beautiful hair and looking at her face in the mirror. Yuzhu was adding fire to the stove in the room. Seeing that the house was coming, just as she was about to salute, she saw that the house was putting her finger to her mouth, made a hush gesture.

Yuzhu smiled knowingly, and said to Zhao Lingying: "Madam, the fire is ready, I'll go out first."

"You girl is just playful, that's all, you go."

As soon as Yuzhu left, Zhao Lingying felt that the room was deserted, which made Zhao Lingying secretly sad.

House Yi walked gently to Zhao Lingying's side, and put his hand on Zhao Lingying's shoulder.Zhao Lingying lowered her head and didn't pay attention. She thought it was Yuzhu who hadn't left, and said, "You damn girl, aren't you going to leave? Why are you still here?"

After talking for a long time, Zhao Lingying saw that no one answered, looked up, stood up all of a sudden, and said with a smile, "Ziyi, it's you."

Looking at Zhao Lingying's slightly haggard face, he touched it with pity, and felt more and more indebted to Zhao Lingying in his heart. He hugged Zhao Lingying and said, "Ying'er, I'm sorry, I haven't seen you these days."

"Ziyi, don't say that, it's my fate, I'm already very happy that you can come to see me." As soon as I said this, the atmosphere became weird, the good atmosphere was gone, and the New Year's House Yi didn't want to be like this, With a smile on his face, he asked, "Your Majesty, why haven't you been here for a few days, do you miss me?"

Zhao Lingying raised her winking eyes, looked at Fang Fangyi with ecstatic eyes and said, "Think about it, why don't you think about it, but think about it at night, don't you think it's weird."

"Your Majesty, you want the Zha family to serve you." Speaking of which, Fang Ziyi hugged Zhao Lingying.

"What are you doing? It's not dark yet. Yuzhu will come back later. It's not good to see it." Zhao Lingying complained coquettishly.

House Yi kissed Zhao Lingying's bright red cheeks, hugged her tighter, and said with a smile: "That girl Yuzhu is weird, she knows I'm here, so why would she come back?"
