Sui and Tang Dynasties: Choose the Empire Faction at the Beginning

"Yeah, the emperor's palace is so good and grand, is there a better place for you to escape the summer than the emperor's palace?"

Yu Chi Gong looked at them and said, "I'm a serious person, don't think about it, if I wasn't a serious person, Your Highness wouldn't care about me at all."

Afterwards, he looked at Yang Ji again: "When I went to a field to inspect some time ago, I just discovered such a treasure land of Feng Shui.

It was the courtyard of an aristocratic family. Entering the courtyard, the whole person felt cool and comfortable.

Moreover, the most important thing is..., there is a natural hot spring in their yard.

When I saw this place, I immediately thought of you, Your Highness... Your Highness, if you go, I will buy it directly from the place."

Yang Ji frowned, "No need."

.

Yu Chi respectfully begged for no fun, and walked back to his seat.

However, this open air caught Yang Ji's attention.

He asked: "It's so hot this year, how can there still be hot springs?"

Yuchi Gong said quickly, "Your Highness, this minister does not know. The last time this minister went, it was a few months ago."

Yang Ji nodded: "It's been hot these days, so there must be no more water in the hot spring."

When Yu Chi Gong heard Yang Ji say this, he thought that Yang Ji was moved by what he said and wanted to go there to have a look.

Immediately, he regained his energy and said with the strength of the wine: "Your Highness, although this summer is a little hotter, as long as you want water, I will ask our family to drink less water, and I will also help Your Highness to get one. The pool water is coming."

When Yang Ji heard Yu Chi Gong's words, he immediately sat up with a cold face.

"Do you think I will use the water you saved to take a bath? What is your Highness?"

At this time, Yang Ji was obviously angry.

He asked about the hot springs, not because he wanted to soak in the hot springs, but because he thought about whether there would be a drought in such a hot day. Unexpectedly, Yu Chigong misunderstood what he meant.

Yang Ji got angry, and the few people around who were drinking quickly put down their wine glasses and knelt on the spot.

Li Shimin knelt down and said, "Your Highness, this summer is just a little hotter than before. As for the severe drought, I haven't found it yet."

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much now."

Yang Ji sat back in his seat, and then said to Li Shimin: "Go to the government offices in various places to see what those... officials have done to this year's hot weather. effective measures.

Can't let: these......the common people who sell it are all dizzy on the street."

When Yang Ji returned to the East Palace, Changsun Wugou ordered someone to bring some plums from the cold storage.

"His Royal Highness, come and try these... plums, they were just taken out of the cold storage. Eating them will help cool down the heat."

Yang Ji glanced at the plums on the table, but didn't eat them, and said, "It seems that this year is indeed very hot, I remember that in the past years, when you took that thing from the cold storage, it was after returning from the palace.

I didn't expect it to be so hot before I went to the palace this year."

At this time, the father-in-law beside Yang Ji walked in front of Yang Ji, knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness, there is news from the emperor that you should go to the Hall of Health Care now."

The emperor Yang Ji didn't know what his grandfather was doing to him at this time.

Immediately, he put down the plum in his hand and went out the door.

At this time, Yang Guang was looking at the book in the Hall of Health, and when he saw Yang Ji entering the door, he greeted Yang Ji to sit beside him without ceremony.

"Grandpa Emperor."

The emperor nodded, and then handed a memorial to Yang Ji.

"Look at the contents of the memorial."

Yang Ji opened the memorial, and what was written on the memorial was this year's heat and drought conditions in various places.

When Yang Ji closes the memorial, the place written in the memorial is whether there is any...drought, my minister can send someone to investigate."

Yang Guang nodded: "This year is a very peaceful year for our country. Nanchen has been pacified, and everyone is in peace. I hope there will be no more natural and man-made disasters."

After saying this, Yang Guang continued: "It's not too late, you can go down to the place as soon as possible to see if the drought there is really that serious."

At this time, Yang Guang seems to have turned to the memorial to report the local drought again, "Why is there another drought? It seems that the second half of the year will not be peaceful. I ordered that we must take precautionary measures to deal with it."

"Yes, Erchen knows, Erchen will immediately take people to the arid area to check."

chapter

Chapter [-] At this time, the eldest grandson Wugou had been waiting in Yang Guang's hall early. She saw that Yang Ji was hurriedly called away. She didn't know what happened, so she was very worried about Yang Ji.

Seeing Yang Ji coming back, he hurried up to greet him.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Changsun Wugou didn't dare to ask any more questions, after all, she also knew that some of them could be known by a woman like her.

Changsun Wugou helped Yang Ji take off his outer robe.

Yang Ji said: "Today's weather is very abnormal, and droughts have already occurred in many places. I will go to those places early tomorrow morning to check."

Why is His Highness leaving him again? Zhangsun Wugou's movements stagnated in midair.

"His Royal Highness, since it's an investigation, then call those under your command... can you just go with the soldiers?"

"No, I have to go and see for myself. This is no trivial matter. It is a matter of people's livelihood. If it is not handled properly, it will cause even bigger problems."

In the evening, Yang Ji left the imperial city and went straight to Fang Xuanling's mansion.

When Yang Ji went, Li Shimin and the others had already arrived, and they were discussing the hot weather this year.

When he saw Yang Ji coming, he hurried out to greet him.

Seeing their appearance, Yang Ji said to them after sitting in his seat: "I think you all already know what happened in the court recently."

Fang Xuanling nodded: "The emperor said that several nearby state capitals have already experienced drought.

Yang Ji nodded, and then said, "I'm going to go to the place with severe drought tomorrow to see if that's the case."

Fang Xuanling heard Yang Ji's words, thought for a while, and said, "Your Highness, why don't I go with you."

Yang Ji nodded.

Early in the morning, Yang Ji and Fang Xuanling had already set off with the guards.

Originally, Li Shimin, Shan Xiongxin and the others also wanted to go with Yang Ji. After all, they also wanted to protect Yang Ji.

However, Yang Ji did not agree with them to follow.

After Yang Ji's team left the imperial city, they ran straight out of the gate.

When we just left the imperial city, there was no drought, but the farther we were from Dongdu, the more severe the drought.

Yang Ji frowned as he looked at the surrounding crops......the crops that were about to die, his heart was very heavy.

After all, ordinary people rely on this crop for food.

If the drought continues like this, it will not take long for the people to live without food.

Fang Xuanling also saw the seriousness of the matter.

"His Royal Highness, it seems that the local official's memorial is indeed true, and now it seems that the drought is much more serious than what they said.

It seems that the drought has already occurred here, but the local officials have not reported it for a long time."

Yang Ji nodded and went straight to the local official's office.

On the way to the government office, Yang Ji saw that there were already a lot of refugees, and they had nothing to eat.

When Yang Ji passed by them, everyone stretched out their hands to ask Yang Ji for something to eat.

There was a steady stream of people begging along the street.

At this time, Yang Ji was even more angry when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the situation here would be so serious, but the state shepherd just said that the drought had just begun.

It seems that there is indeed a problem with this state shepherd! The local government officials saw a person with extraordinary temperament coming to the door. Although they didn't know who the person was, they didn't dare to neglect, and they rushed out to greet him.

Yang Ji didn't pay any attention to that...the official, and just sat on the high hall.

Seeing that Yang Ji was so arrogant and arrogant, that Zhou Mu was like going up to discuss with Yang Ji, after all, this is his own territory.

However, before he could say a word, he was directly pressed to the ground by Yang Ji's guard behind him.

Yang Ji's face darkened: "As a state shepherd, such a serious disaster happened in your jurisdiction, why did you report it so late?"

Even if Zhou Mu was a fool, he now knew who was sitting in front of him.

At this time, he didn't mention how scared he was, after all, he had often heard about Yang Ji's name, and all the things Yang Ji did would be praised by everyone.

It can be said that sitting in front of him is a legendary figure.

At this time, he was so frightened by Yang Ji that he couldn't even speak.

He hesitantly, sweat dripping from his forehead.

Yang Ji looked at him and said, "I'll give you one last chance, why haven't you reported it!"

Yang Ji was impatient now.

Nazhou Mu wiped his sweat subconsciously and said hesitantly, "Chen, Chen..."

When Yang Ji saw him like this, he knew that he must have neglected his duties.

Seeing that he couldn't even say a word, he waved his hand and said to his subordinates: "Drag out and behead and show the public!"

That Zhou Mu didn't expect that Yang Ji would punish him like this, so scared that he almost fainted.

After all, he is a state shepherd, and he is usually a very powerful and respectable person, so how could he suffer such humiliation?

He hurriedly shouted at Yang Ji: "Your Highness, Your Highness, spare your life! Your Highness, spare your life!"

Yang Ji would simply ignore such a dying person.

Fang Xuanling saw that Yang Ji had executed that... Zhou Mu, she hurriedly walked to Yang Ji and knelt down.

"Your Highness is wise, this person really deserves to die! Your Highness, now, the prefectural shepherd here has been executed by His Highness, so I think we should take out the grain in the government warehouse and distribute it to those... ..the refugees.

After all, this food is also... that the refugees handed in before."

Yang Ji nodded, and then said to Fang Xuanling: "The state husband's mansion will also be investigated and dealt with, and none of the things in the mansion will be turned over to the state treasury."

When Yang Ji's bodyguard pulled the prefectural shepherd out of the gate of the official residence, the surrounding refugees all saw this scene.
