The most cattle country medical concubine

Chapter 221 Worried (2)
Who forced it?Old Ba?
The carriage returned to the Duke Protector's Mansion.When Li Min got off the carriage and wanted to go back to her room by herself, Zhu Li turned around in front of her and said to her, "Come to the study."

I must want to hear her thoughts on the disease of the crown prince and side concubine.

Li Min followed him to the study room and saw Gongsun Liangsheng together with shopkeeper Xu who was recuperating in the Duke Huguo's mansion, and whispered something.

Seeing that their husband and wife had returned, both of them raised their heads together and hurriedly waved their sleeves to salute: "See Wangye, Wangfei."

Mother Fang personally led someone to bring the tea up.Seeing that it was actually late, and it was almost time to go to bed, Li Min told people not to refill the tea.After Fu Yan and others withdrew, they closed the door of the study.

Li Min remembered and asked, "Is mother asleep?"

"Madam didn't go to sleep until the eldest young master and eldest young mistress came back." Nanny Fang who was accompanying her answered.

In the courtyard, except for a lantern with an open flame hanging, everything else was extinguished.It's all about saving money.As far as Li Min knew, her mother-in-law, Youshi, was always trying to save money in the mansion, so she could prepare for the front line anytime, anywhere.

When Mr. Wei went to the Ministry of War to look for food and grass to dispatch, he seemed to have encountered some troubles.After Zhu Li came back, Gongsun Liangsheng reported immediately: "After the young master left, Wei Junshi first went to the Ministry of War to check his breath. The people in the Ministry of War ignored him and said that everything now belongs to Ba Ye Don't worry. Mr. Mi, Minister of the Ministry of War, is not a very talkative person now."

Hearing this, Zhu Li put his hands behind his back and took two steps in the room: "The situation in the imperial court is changing from moment to moment, let the Wei army division handle this matter as soon as possible. If Ba Ye or someone under him wants to hinder the army rations, I can only go to Yuqing Palace to talk to the emperor."

Gongsun Liangsheng looked at him, thinking, what if Lao Ba did this according to Wanli Lord's will.

It can't be counted by the royal father and son. The north enters winter faster than the Central Plains, and the garrisoned troops urgently need military supplies such as quilts.Although it is possible to raise funds in Beiyan, the Donghu people have repeatedly marched this year, and the people of Beiyan are already struggling.If Lord Wanli is really sympathetic to the people, he should draw out special financial funds to support military expenditures.

I think so, but it is not easy for the emperor to uproot his money now.I don't know when, Wanli Lord seems to prefer to spend money on the buildings of the royal garden.For example, the Longevity Hill where the Empress Dowager held the Lantern Festival. It is said that the Wanshou Temple on the mountain has just received donations from the Empress Dowager and Lord Wanli.The craftsmen have been planning how to transport the Buddha statues and stone lions built below to the mountain.

Li Min remembered that Master Lu and the others gained power before, but it was actually built on the basis of floods in the Jianghuai River and the exodus of countless victims.Doesn't Lord Wanli know that the local government doesn't care about the life and death of the people, and refuses to open warehouses to release grain?

What Gongsun Liangsheng said in a low voice more or less confirmed some of her speculations: "Master, after the flood in the Jianghuai area, the autumn harvest can be said to be fruitless. Now, it is about to enter winter. Countless victims who have no food, if the government's grain depot If they refuse to open warehouses to save people, it will only be a matter of time before the refugees rise up."

"What does the emperor want to do? Do you want people to lead troops to suppress it?" Zhu Li's voice was a little low again.

"The emperor definitely doesn't want to do things that cost the people and money by fighting. However, if the master is in Beijing—"

Li Min's eyes flashed sharply, and then looked at her husband beside him, but he just sat down with a half-smile, as if he had expected this kind of thing.

The emperor can't get rid of the Duke's Mansion, but after all, you are the emperor's servants, that is, slaves, who can order you around at will, and it's okay to let you die.Like Zhu Li's father, Zhu Huaisheng, he died of exhaustion running around for the emperor in the end.Zhu Li still remembered very well that when his father died in the middle of the night that day, he was lying face down on the table in the barracks, holding a writing brush in his hand, and the ink on the brush was still wet, dripping all the way.

Li Min heard Nanny Fang accidentally mentioning this, so she realized that her father-in-law died of acute myocardial infarction, a disease caused by overwork.

Since we all know what Wanli Lord thinks of them, we must guard against them.Li Min agrees with Gongsun Liangsheng's idea that prevention is more important than anything else.

But Zhu Li didn't make a sound, so Gongsun Liangsheng had no choice but to temporarily put away this suggestion.After all, how to deceive the emperor is not an easy task.

Zhu Li pondered: "The emperor is not so stupid as to really cause an uproar. It can only be said that the group of people below have some skills to fool the emperor and the queen mother."

Gongsun Liangsheng continued: "The magistrates of Jianghuai and Huaihe are both disciples of the prince and Taifu."

"Are you born at the same time as Yin Guotang?"

"It is."

"This Yin Guotang has done some good things for the emperor and the people before, why is he confused now?" Zhu Li tapped the handrail lightly with his fingers.

Li Min could hear something from the few words of the two of them.That is, the pattern within the imperial court is changing.The basis for this change is undoubtedly because Master Wanli is getting older.

"The emperor's body is not as good as before."

Gongsun Liangsheng heard Zhu Li's words and asked, "How did master know?"

"In the past, when the emperor was angry, he only had a ruddy complexion, but now he is panting like an old cow."

Li Min glanced at her husband again.Her husband, who didn't study medicine, was able to be like her, and he saw some clues from the last time the couple had a face-to-face meeting alone.

Receiving the look from her, Zhu Li smiled, and said, "Of course, when it comes to the ability to observe words and emotions, this king is not as good as the princess who really treats people and saves people."

Li Min turned her head and pretended not to hear what he said.

Nanny Fang stood beside her and smiled, happy that the newlyweds were so harmonious.

Gongsun Liangsheng couldn't help laughing, and asked about the two of them: "Master, I'm in the crown prince's uterus today, His Royal Highness should have given the master and the princess a decent state banquet."

"If His Royal Highness really placed this table, it would be a big deal. In less than an hour, the news reached Yuqing Palace. Could the emperor have no idea? This is to win over the powerful ministers to deceive the emperor." Zhu Li said At home, I dared to say these things half-jokingly.

But everyone could hear that, if the prince hadn't really had something to do, they wouldn't have dared to take this risky move.

Gongsun Liangsheng speculated: "The prince must have asked the prince and concubine to eat mid-autumn hairy crabs in advance."

"Yes." Zhu Li twirled the finger slightly, "The crown prince said he was entertaining the king, but it's better to say that the drunkard's intention is not to drink."

"Is it because of the sudden death of the fifth princess in the palace?"

Li Min picked up the teacup and gently blew on the mouth of the cup, and listened to him discussing with his courtiers at close range, only then did he know how powerful he is as a staff member.Being able to recruit talents like Gongsun can be considered her husband is a capable person.
