Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 82

snort!How dare you say that you are not a seasoned lover? !If the number one client in the world isn't a seasoned lover, then who is? ! "I'm too lazy to tell you!" Du Xiaoyue was too lazy to chat with him on this issue. After writing for a long time, her hands were sore and her mind was tired. What she wanted to do most now was to sleep, "Let go of me, I Tired and sleepy."

Tan Wenhao also knew that Du Xiaoyue was naturally sleepy, as long as she mentioned that she was going to sleep, it meant that she might fall asleep the next second while she was standing! "Okay!" Let go of her hand, waiting for her to spread the couch by herself.She didn't want to, but she went straight to the big bed, and moved one pillow to the other side, put it on the other side, fell straight on it, and fell asleep inside after a few rolls. "Are you not going to sleep on the couch tonight?"

"Hmph, I'm still on this bed when I wake up in the morning!" Du Xiaoyue didn't omit "It's better to consciously sleep here now, so as not to be eaten tofu again". "Let's sleep on each side, don't use me as a pillow tonight!" Thinking of this, Du Xiaoyue was even more depressed. She used to have the habit of changing pajamas when she went to bed at night, and she was moved several times by someone, and each time she was in a certain place. When she was awakened by the heat in her arms, Du Xiaoyue finally made a decision to consciously sleep on the other side and not take off her coat while sleeping!

Uh... It seems that there is no silken tofu to eat tonight!This was Tan Wenhao's thoughts when he was unwilling but had to sleep at Du Xiaoyue's feet, alas, among the women in the palace, who would dare to point their feet at the emperor?It's a pity that this woman who pointed her feet at the emperor's face met the emperor's taste! "Yue'er, do you want to sit in on the court tomorrow?"

"Hmm..." Du Xiaoyue had already entered a state of chaos, she didn't know what Tan Wenhao was talking about, and she just responded subconsciously.

"Cangyao has been in drought for two months!" Tan Wenhao sighed softly, is this a punishment from God?Cangyao has not had a drop of rain in two months, and thousands of people have lost their lives without food and water. My heart is always sad!
"Hmm..." Du Xiaoyue snorted softly, and muttered, "I'll think about this tomorrow..." But what I realized in my mind was that I would have to worry about it again tomorrow.

Tan Wenhao smiled lightly, her voice was indistinct, maybe she was talking in her sleep!Forget it, there is no way to rush this matter, the most important thing now is to suppress those thieves!

"Two months ago, Sima Cangyao wrote that there was a drought in Cangyao. I have arranged for the distribution of relief supplies. Will there be any new situation in Cangyao two months later?" Tan Wenhao, who was sitting on the golden throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, said calmly He asked the officials standing in the center of the main hall, and finally, his eyes fell on Prime Minister Du, "Does the Prime Minister have any related matters to report?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister is about to report this matter to the emperor!" Du Kangyong walked out of the queue, stood in the center, and replied with a slight bow, "Sima Cangyao wrote a letter. Although it hasn't rained in Cangyao in the past two months, Cangyao With the help of the imperial court, the common people can still live on, please don't worry about it, Your Majesty."

"Oh?! It seems that I am really worried for nothing!" Tan Wenhao didn't show any expression, and the coldness in his eyes was not noticed by the courtiers.

"It is the blessing of the people of Feiya that the emperor is concerned about the country and the people." Du Kangyong stood up straight, with a faint smile on his lips.

"I'm ashamed!" Tan Wenhao sighed softly, with deep self-blame, "Although I am the emperor, I haven't been able to understand the sufferings of the people deeply, I can't give shelter to the people, and I can't go deep into the people and condolences to the people."

"The emperor is busy with state affairs, how can he come to the people with a body of thousands of gold?" Du Kangyong comforted, "Besides, the emperor has opened a warehouse to release food to help the victims, and the people will naturally remember the emperor's kindness in their hearts."

"Well, the prime minister is right!" Tan Wenhao smiled lightly, with some relief, "So, I plan to send an imperial envoy to inspect Cangyao, and comfort the people on my behalf." Speaking of this, his speech speed suddenly changed , with a serious face, "Du Yehan stepped forward to listen to the order!"

Du Yehan stepped out of the queue and knelt down: "Minister Du Yehan listens to the order!"

"Cangyao was hit by a natural disaster, and the people suffered unspeakably. I specially appointed Du Yehan as the special envoy for disaster relief. He will leave for Cangyao immediately to distribute food and appease the victims. Give Fang Fang a sword. If there are officials who have made great fortunes in the country and corrupted the law, they can beheaded first and then played later!"
Du Aiqing, this is a matter of tens of thousands of lives. Will you act impartially and plead for the people? "

"I promise not to disgrace the holy decree, and I will never give up!" Du Yehan's resonant voice sounded, and he prostrated himself on the ground.

Du Kangyong's face turned cold and his eyes sank; Tan Wenhao raised his lips slightly: "What's the prime minister's suggestion?"

"The emperor's policy is very good, but I have no suggestion!" Du Kangyong replied blankly, "I have something to report. The champion of the new department in the autumn examination last year has been waiting for a long time, and there are many vacancies in the Central Secretariat. Please invite the emperor to be the champion of the new department." Take office!"

"The champion of the new department is going to court today? Who is it? Where is the family name, and which minister's disciple is it?" Tan Wenhao asked casually without hesitation.

"Caomin Mao Qiusheng pays homage to the emperor." Another person came out of the courtiers, knelt on the ground, wearing the uniform of the number one scholar, and looked like a gentle scholar, "Caomin is from Cangyao family, and he is the prime minister's disciple."

Cang Yao family?The prime minister's disciple?Tan Wenhao raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled slightly: "Mao Qiusheng listened to the letter: the drought in Cangyao is severe, and people and animals are short of water. I specially appointed Mao Qiusheng as an ambassador for water, and he was appointed as a fifth-rank official. He will return to Cangyao to take up his post within a few days. After the drought in Cangyao is resolved , and then return to the capital to listen to the seal."

Du Kangyong shook his body slightly, and bowed to Tan Wenhao and said confidently: "Your Majesty, Mao Qiusheng is too young, I'm afraid he can't delay this important task."

"Let him contribute to his own hometown, is he still going to shirk?" Tan Wenhao raised his voice lightly, "Isn't ten years of hard study just to serve the court? Now is the time for the court to employ people, how can he shirk? Saint There is a saying: Da is good for the world. What's more, he is contributing to the place where he was born and raised! Can you deny it just because he is young? Since he is the new champion personally appointed by the prime minister, is the prime minister still doubting your own opinion? Is it human’s vision? Or is he afraid of doing bad things, and he can’t even really do something for the benefit of the people?”

Du Kangyong was startled, did the emperor want to disperse all his power in the local area?And it's still such a dispensable official position? "However, Your Majesty, Cangyao has not been in drought for too long, and the drought has already..."

"I am willing to receive the decree!" Mao Qiusheng straightened his upper body suddenly, his eyes sparkled, "I am willing to do my best for the people of Cangyao, and I am willing to save the people in dire straits! What the emperor said is that if you can't even repay the kindness to the people in your hometown, Then how can I serve the court? The people of Cangyao are in dire straits, and the minister is also deeply worried about the survival of the elders at home! The emperor sent the minister back to Cangyao, which not only fulfilled the minister's homesickness, but also fulfilled Liaochen wishes to contribute to Cangyao!"

"Good ambition!" Tan Wenhao clapped his hands lightly and praised, "I heard that the number one scholar in the new department is the prime minister's most proud student, and he really cares about the people of the world! As the saying goes, seeking happiness for the people is the foundation of being an official, and water can carry a boat It can also overturn the boat. If the common people cannot live on, how can you live on as officials? Therefore, the foundation of being an official should be to do things for the common people. The common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is safe and peaceful. This is the blessing of the world! Mao Aiqing Imperial Examination What was the purpose at the beginning? Is it really just to be famous in the world, to honor the ancestors? Is it just for selfishness, to seek glory? Of course not! Mao Aiqing is willing to take on this bitter job. It can be seen that Mao Shouqing is concerned about the country Worrying about the people, he will be a good official who pleads for the people in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation!" Mao Qiusheng prostrated himself on the ground with a smile on his face, "I will do my best to fulfill the entrustment of my Majesty, and also to benefit the people of Cangyao!"

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the hall, and the noise became louder and louder.Tan Wenhao listened attentively, and it was Hongsi who was clamoring to come in, saying that the queen had sent a letter of remonstrance. "Who is making noise outside the hall? There are more and more irregularities!" Tan Wenhao said coldly, "Eunuch Liu, go and bring in the noisy people outside the hall!"

"The red silk sees the emperor, long live the emperor!" As soon as the red silk came in, she knelt down on the ground, kowtowed her head timidly, and begged Ann tremblingly, not daring to look at the courtiers standing in the main hall. "Hongsi knows that trespassing into the Hall of Supreme Harmony is a capital offense, but the empress has a statement, ordering Hongsi to break in and hand it over to the emperor even if she dies!" As she said, Hongsi handed over a letter in her hand with trembling hands. go out.

Tan Wenhao took the letter from Eunuch Liu, read it blankly, put it away, and handed it to Eunuch Liu beside him: "Mao Aiqing, the queen has some opinions on how Cangyao can cure drought, you are Cangyao People, I also know the geography of Cangyao, so you can take a look!"

"Yes!" Mao Qiusheng took the letter and opened it calmly. The first thing that caught his eye was two pictures, which looked like the waterwheels used by farmers nowadays, but they were slightly different from ordinary waterwheels: the waterwheels nowadays are all Manpower steps on the waterwheel to drive the waterwheel to fetch water from low to high, but on the top, the drum is placed aside and driven by something in the shape of a horse; the current waterwheel body is short and can only be transported for a short distance Water, and the waterwheel above, on the one with the longer body, the drum is very high, and the words "used for steep terrain" are written on the side.Mao Qiusheng didn't understand what this meant, and after reading all the contents of the letter, Mao Qiusheng couldn't help admiring the empress!In the Queen's letter, not only the principle of this improved waterwheel and the details of its use and manufacture are clearly written, but also the location and method of use are explained in detail, and at the same time, some very feasible solutions are provided for Cangyao's future drought resistance. Opinion: For example, build pools and dams in the dry season, and use these for livestock water in the rainy season; however, the empress also has some ideas that Mao Qiusheng did not understand, such as digging deep wells in the plains in front of the mountains.

"What do Aiqing Mao think of the Queen's writing?" Tan Wenhao looked at Mao Qiusheng's joyful and puzzled expression, and was also curious about Mao Qiusheng's thoughts at this time.
