Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

On this day, they discussed in the Imperial Study Room for a long time.

This is also the first time that I have truly heard the emperor and courtiers discussing state affairs. Sometimes, people often say that they are not in charge and do not know that oil and salt are expensive, but that is only a small family, and only a few people. However, it is the billion people, and he is not in charge of oil and salt, but the settlement of so many people, the stability of the frontiers, and the stability of the court.

Several times, listening to the red-eared ears for a sum of money, I heard cold sweat.

But finally, several major issues were discussed clearly.

Pei Yuanzhang sent hot water. Hot tea came in to wash your hands. After the father-in-law took the person in, he also pointed at the two palace ladies to open the curtain and went into the inner room. He gave me hot water and Come in with towels and wash me.

For a while, the entire Imperial Study Room was quiet.

However, no one looked in, all of them just paused, then went on to do their own thing, just listening to the sound of the rushing water in a quiet space, but it gave the illusion of a stormy sea. . I sat a little stiff in front of the bed in the inner room. After washing, the father-in-law took a few cups of hot tea with him.

Then, he heard Pei Yuanzhang whispering, "Give her some snacks. In the morning, she has no time to eat."

"Yes."

Then hot tea and snacks were brought in.

I was sitting on a soft bed, and I could n’t use words to describe it. Even if a few little maids put a table of various delicate snacks in front of me, although I looked at the colorful and colorful, how could I eat it? ?

Seeing me sitting there frowning, one of the little maids looked very clever and whispered to me, "Miss Yan, you can eat a little, or the emperor will be angry again later."

"..."

Although her voice was low, the Royal Study was so quiet that I couldn't even guarantee how many people outside heard it through several layers of curtains.

So I just waved my hand slightly, then picked up a piece of shortbread and barely took a bite.

The little palace girl was relieved and took a step back.

I ’m still eating here with the taste of chewing wax. After drinking hot tea outside, Pei Yuanzhang took out the last ticket and said, "This is the last item today and the most recent item. The Yellow River Embankment Building. "

Everyone looked at him.

He opened the ticket book and slowly said, "This item is not estimated this year, but Wu Yanqiu said to him the first year. The estimated cost is five million two. The levee has now been completed. The cost was eight million two, and the overspending was three million two. The cost has already been approved. After a while, your account will also approve it, and the money will be released. "

Everyone was quiet at once.

Pei Yuanzhang looked down at them: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Although the people below did not speak, everyone with eyes looked around. In the end, Zheng Zhui stood out and said respectfully, "Everyone knows about the embankment building, but we overspend three Million, this money is really a little too much, Wei Chen and others-Wei Chen and others also need to see the actual accounts before they dare to approve it. "

Pei Yuanzhang smiled slightly: "Zheng Shilang is a careful person."

"Dare."

"Also, check the accounts clearly, it's also what your household should do. Come, call the prince."

The father-in-law hurriedly agreed, and then went out to spread the word. After a while, he heard the hurried footsteps outside, and Nianshen ran in with the two eunuchs around him, and bowed down and saluted to Pei Yuanzhang.

Pei Yuanzhang said, "Early morning, where did you go? He asked you to come and listen too?"

Nian kneeled deep on the ground and whispered, "Father emperor forgive sins, the mother is sick."

"Oh? The queen is sick? Is it too doctoral?"

"It has been passed. The mother is a little bit cold, and she has prescribed a medicine and eaten it."

"That way, I have to go and see."

As Pei Yuanzhang said, he stood up holding the table. A few courtiers were startled, and stood up in a hurry. Pei Yuanzhang walked down and said, "You continue to discuss here, read deeply, about building the Yellow River this year. Dike, why did you overspend three million two? Zheng Shilang needs to check the accounts. Here you are, how to spend the three million two, and talk to Master Shi Lang. If the check is clear, you will issue a ticket. Go down. "

Nian Shen said, "Yes."

"It's done here, and then see your mother."

"Yes, sons and daughters obey."

Pei Yuanzhang said as he walked out. When he came to the door, he stopped subconsciously and turned to look at the inner room. He looked at me sitting quietly beside the bed, hesitated, but After all, he didn't say anything. He just squeezed his sleeves lightly and turned around and went out.

As he left, the Imperial Study Room was quiet again.

Several other officials were standing beside him. Only Zheng Zhui was standing in the middle of the Imperial Study Room. Although no one spoke at this time, he seemed to feel that he was standing on a target of public criticism, and he hurried back a little. A few steps, and Nianshen has already passed, smiling and arching his hand at him: "Master Sir."

"His Royal Highness."

"This is the total account for the construction of the river embankment this year. Does the Lord Shiro look here? Or do you want to move back to the Ministry of Housing?"

What Zheng Zhenggang was about to say, Nianshen said with a smile: "It's better to watch it here. After reading it, it's better to send it off."

"..."

This time, Zheng Zhui really stood by the target.

As soon as Pei Yuanzhang picked his son, in fact, there was no need to discuss it anymore, because he had already approved the red on the ticket book and called the prince, but it was just a superficial effort. The head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, in fact, has no power to discuss politics. As soon as the Emperor's inner court was established, the Ministry of Household Affairs became a place where only executives could make decisions, and no decisions could be made.

Zheng Zhui wiped the cold sweat on his face and looked at Nangong Jinhong.

Nangong Jinhong's face was not too good-looking. He kept looking out the door, and Pei Yuanzhang disappeared into the distance. Then he turned around and saw Zheng Zhui as if looking for help.

After a moment of silence, he didn't speak, but just faced the other side, Fu Bayou who was sitting on the other side. "Fu Fu, come here today."

When Fu Bashen heard his voice, he laughed aloud: "Blind old man, coming here will also make you mess."

"Elder Fu don't say that."

"Well, now that things are over, my blind old man should go back."

As he said, he stood tremblingly from his chair, and Chabi Xing was helping him to go out. Fu Bazhen gently pushed his hand away: "You don't need to help me."

Then, stand still.

I breathed for a moment, and immediately put down the shortbread in my hand and got up and went out.

Raised layers of curtains, and a bright bead curtain, everyone heard the crackling sound of the bead curtain collision, all turned to look at me, my face was a bit pale, but this window paper is sooner or later To be broken, I simply come by myself. I bowed down to them and saluted: "Meet you all adults."

They looked at me with complex expressions, and for a while there was no sound.

For a long while, Nangong Jinhong said with a smile: "Miss Yan is here."

I smiled: "I discussed the condition of the princess with Her Majesty, because she was too tired, and Her Majesty let the daughter rest in it. I hope I have not disturbed you."

He also laughed: "How come?"

I can feel that although his face is full of smiles, there is no smile in his eyes, and even a little chill is revealed, but this time is not the time to deal with him, I turned and walked to Fu Bayu, gently Said, "Teacher, I'll accompany you back to Jixian Temple."

He pointed at me with out-of-focus eyes: "Okay."

I nodded and smiled at the other adults, then helped him and slowly went out.

When he walked out of the gate outside the Imperial Study Room, after a while, he saw Nangong Jinhong also come out. After all, his expression couldn't be masked, and a bit of Cangjie came out. When he left, he bumped his shoulder on the door , Then walked to the other side without looking back.

Right now, there are only Prince Edward, Chabixing and Zheng Chai in the Royal Study Room.

Not to mention the big picture, but I know there is nothing wrong.

I couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

At this time, the next Fu Bazhen turned his head toward me: "You, always by the emperor?"

"These days have been."

His grey eyebrows shook slightly: "What did the emperor tell you?"

I bit my lower lip and didn't speak.

This time, it was his turn to sigh long.

"What about you? What did you tell him?"

"Nothing was said except today."

"So, did you propose to the Emperor the inner court?"

"Yes."

"Then Chabich-"

"It's really Nangong Jinhong speaking it out."

"Oh?"

"I guess, he wants to advance with retreat, but as long as the emperor sets up the inner court, no matter he advances or retreats, he will be pinned to death."

Having said that, Fu Bazhen shook his head gently and smiled, "You ..."

Although he smiled a little, but I clearly saw that the deep folds of his brows were not smoothed even when he smiled.

Thinking of this, while holding him out carefully, I whispered, "Yesterday, the teacher was still reluctant to come to the Royal Study to discuss matters. Why did you come here today?"

He faintly said, "It's important, you're really confused when I'm really old, can't you tell?"

I turned to look at him: "The teacher thinks, how important is this matter today?"

This time, he did not speak immediately, but after a long silence, he slowly said, "If this matter cannot be handled properly today, I am afraid that we will start a war."

I frowned, and just about to say something, Fu Bazhen walked slowly forward, and said without looking back: "Anyway, lightness, you and the emperor, you have to survive this year."
