Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 68
Because of palpitations in the middle of the night, Xie Jinhua couldn't help wondering whether something happened to Qin Zheng, and he never closed his eyes to sleep peacefully all night, and got up just after the light came on.

It was still raining heavily in the sky, even if there was a little light in the sky, it didn't look so bright.

The pouring rain cast a layer of gloom over the entire world.

The heavy sky seems to be pressing on the heart, and it will crush people at any time.

People who are not in a good mood can't help feeling more anxious and depressed in such weather.

Xie Jin drew the palace room of Chuxiu Palace. This time, the little maid didn't stop her. Xie Jinhua was eager to know about Qin Zheng's news, and didn't talk to her too much. He just looked around, hoping to see Qin Zheng. Zheng.

It's just that although there are one or two guards around Chuxiu Palace, there is no sign of Qin Zheng.

Whenever Qin Zheng could come over, he would definitely come over and guard her.

Even if he didn't say it, Xie Jinhua knew this.

It's like being in Shangshu's mansion.

Qin Zheng is always guarding outside her yard or house, she has always known it.

It's just that if he didn't say anything, she also pretended not to know.

Qin Zheng can't be found at this moment, and Xie Jinhua can't blame Xie Jinhua for worrying.

Xie Jinhua didn't know anyone in the palace, even if he wanted to know Qin Zheng's whereabouts, he didn't know what to do.

Standing in the Nuo Palace, looking at the rain outside, Xie Jinhua was a little dazed for a moment.

"But Second Miss Xie?"

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

Xie Jinhua turned around and saw a young man dressed in red as Suzaku Guard. His body and head were mostly soaked, and his cheeks were still dripping. He looked a little embarrassed, but smiled brilliantly.

Seeing Xie Jinhua who turned around, the other party couldn't help showing a touch of surprise in his eyes.

Lips are not punctuated but vermilion, eyebrows are not drawn but black, black hair flutters, black hair is like a waterfall, and there is a little melancholy between the eyebrows and eyes, as if a pool of autumn water is in full bloom.

In the dark sky, Xie Jinhua, who was wearing a plain shirt, seemed to be the most dazzling ray of light, lighting up people's entire vision.

"I'm Liao Jing, Lord Qin's subordinate. He said that if Miss Xie's family is in a hurry to leave the palace, he will let me escort you back."

Liao Jing glanced at Xie Jinhua, but didn't dare to take a second look.

Although Qin Zheng was called "little master", it was with a bit of solemnity, Qin Zheng had only been in the palace for two or three days, and most people knew about him.

After all, it is rare for a teenager to have such high martial arts and such a firm and ruthless heart.

In the past few days, I don't know how many unconvinced Qin Zheng directly challenged Suzakuwei with a sixth-rank position.

Of course, the results are not very ideal.

Qin Zheng is ruthless to others and even more ruthless to himself. Compared with the famous and lifeless people in Zhuquewei, he is not far from it.

Liao Jing is a knowledgeable person. When Qin Zheng mentioned Xie Jinhua's expression and insisted on personally escorting Xie Jinhua into the palace, he guessed what was going on. No matter how amazing Xie Jinhua was, he just had to look at it. He didn't intend to be cleaned up by Qin Zheng after he found out.

"Where's Ah Zheng?"

Unaware of the rapidly turning thoughts in the other party's mind, Xie Jinhua suppressed the anxiety in his heart, greeted the other party with a salute, and asked directly.

"But it's not convenient to come here?"

Xie Jinhua observed Liao Jing's expression on the opposite side.

Liao Jing suddenly felt that Xie Jinhua's eyes were too harsh.

Just now, his eyes were still breathtaking, but now they seemed to contain blades, and they saw everything through him.

He coughed and lowered his voice: "Master Qin is on a mission, a secret mission sent by His Majesty."

"Master Qin Xiao also explained that he will come back as soon as possible, so Miss Xie doesn't have to worry."

At first, I thought that Qin Zheng's appearance as a young boy and the identity of the other party was a shave for Xie Jinhua, but now seeing Xie Jinhua's attitude, Liao Jing's eyes lit up, and she felt that there was a joke: "Master Qin Now it’s all about fighting for the future.”

He sighed.

Xie Jinhua glanced at the other party, lowered his eyes: "He left last night, right?"

But he didn't ask Qin Zheng what he was doing.

How could she ask about the task assigned by the emperor, and she wouldn't tell the other party if she asked.

Liao Jing nodded.

Xie Jinhua had already guessed what Qin Zheng was going to do.

She heard what the emperor said to himself yesterday.

It's just that I thought it had nothing to do with her before, so I didn't say any more. Now that I think about it, not only is it not nothing to do, but it has a lot to do with it.

"Does Miss Xie want to go? The carriage is ready outside."

Liao Jing didn't know what Xie Jinhua was thinking, but felt that the other party's eyes were unpredictable, so she asked.

"Let's not go now, please Lord Liao take me to His Majesty, I have something to meet with His Majesty."

In Xie Jinhua's mind, the life and death of Wanmin is very important, but it is only out of the conscience of a human being, she told Kong Kong about a natural disaster she knew about, no matter how many, she would not do it, and she should not do it.

But now, the matter concerns Qin Zheng, and Xie Jinhua can no longer stand on the sidelines.

Xie Jinhua knew that if Qin Zheng alone and the lives of many people were on both ends of the scale at the same time, she would choose Qin Zheng.

Not because of how good Qin Zheng is or how important he is, but because Qin Zheng is one of the few people she cares about.

-

"You said you want to help me make suggestions?"

The emperor looked at Xie Jinhua who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's not about giving advice, my daughter doesn't have that much ability yet, what I'm doing and saying now is just doing my best, if I can share some of His Majesty's worries, it will not be in vain for my daughter as a citizen of Daqing and His Majesty's people. "

Xie Jinhua replied very respectfully.

The emperor withdrew his gaze from Xie Jinhua, and looked down at the report in front of him. The sound of rain outside disturbed everyone's hearts.

Xie Jinhua never moved.

She was very calm, and even the few attendants around the emperor were a little nervous, but she still didn't move.

The body does not move, the complexion does not change, and the breathing does not fluctuate.

It's just this self-cultivation and character that surpassed countless men.

After a while, the emperor opened his mouth first: "Why didn't you say it last night, and came here again today?"

Xie Jinhua raised her eyes and did not hide anything: "Because I didn't expect His Majesty to make such a big decision this time."

Determined to completely rectify the administration of officials.

The emperor sighed: "Xie Erniang, you are really a smart woman."

He naturally knew all the conversations between Qin Zheng and Liao Jing and Xie Jinhua, there was only one thing in this court that he didn't want to know, and there was nothing he didn't know.

It is precisely because I know it that I admire Xie Jinhua's cleverness.

Neither Qin Zheng nor Liao Jing said what they shouldn't say, but Xie Jinhua guessed it.

Even the emperor couldn't help being moved by this thought.

It's just that no matter how smart and sensitive, there are always women's weaknesses.

"Tell me what you think."

The emperor asked Xie Jinhua to stand up, without saying anything else, but went directly to the topic.

He was also a little curious about what ideas or suggestions Xie Jinhua would give him.

After all, the sensitivity and courage of Xie Jin's painting had left a deep impression on the emperor.

"My daughter doesn't understand the affairs of the adults in the court. That's not what my daughter should understand. What my daughter understands is the method of flood control that I have learned and summarized from many ancient books. If I am biased, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

When the words fell, Xie Jinhua straightened his back and said all the thoughts that had been wandering in his heart all the way: "Natural disasters have never been lacking in all dynasties, especially droughts and floods. , if the dam is stabilized, the water potential can be stabilized, and if the dam is to be stabilized, you must be stable from all the adults."

The emperor first had some expectations for Xie Jinhua, but he was a little disappointed by the words behind the other party.

It's just a cliché, who doesn't know this?
The dikes will be easily collapsed, just for the profit of many officials, or even if they do not make profits, when the flood comes, those officials will retreat with their families, at most they will lose their positions or be reprimanded.

He sent Suzaku Guard this time because he was determined to investigate the situation of the dams in various places, but if he failed in his duty, he would kill them.

But now what Xie Jinhua said was nothing more than severely punishing officials and the like, he was a little out of interest.

But the next moment, he was startled by Xie Jinhua's words.

"Officials go up the embankment."

Xie Jinhua raised his eyes, and at that moment, the girl's bright eyes that were supposed to be affectionate reflected absolute murderous intent, bitter murderous intent: "Officials go to the embankment, but where there are embankments, the local officials stationed from the highest From the beginning of the position, station on the embankment, and when the embankment is destroyed, you must not take a step away without authorization. If you don't follow it, leave it, and punish it."

"If one person dies, then send the officials under him to continue stationing on the dike, and then go down again."

With Xie Jinhua's idea, the emperor couldn't help but drop the ink brush in his hand.

What she meant was very simple. Every embankment was sent to guard the top local officials. They either died with the embankment, or guarded it. If one is dead, then send the second official, and if the second is dead, then send the third.

This trick is so-called simple, but no one has thought of it, because this trick is too poisonous, too ruthless, and too unexpected, it is clearly a unique trick.

The emperor looked deeply at Xie Jinhua: "If your trick is known, you will be outraged by the public, and I will not be able to protect you at that time."

Xie Jinhua leaned over: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and my daughter trusts Your Majesty. If there is really an emergency, I will be benevolent at best."

"Good, good, good."

The emperor looked at Xie Jinhua, laughed suddenly, and praised him three times: "Xie Erniang, if you are a man, you must be the pillar of the country."

At this moment, the emperor felt a pity that Xie Jinhua was a woman.

If she is a man, she will definitely become a good minister and good minister, and she will definitely be able to make a great career.

Turning around, he told the chief servant who was also suppressed by his side: "Order, don't let out a single word of today's words."

"If it leaks outside, I will ask for you."

The chief servant kept saying yes.

Xie Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, her palms were covered with sweat.

I only hope that this can help Qin Zheng.

It can make those people's attention, don't focus all on Suzaku Wei, and also hope that Qin Zheng will no longer be the one who caused public anger.
