After time travel, I became a talented lady

Emperor Renzong was entertaining guests, singing, dancing and drinking wine.

In the Cabinet Office, there was a gloomy atmosphere, with sighs and sighs.

Blizzards have been falling for several days, and countless houses collapsed in Datong, Xuanfu, and people in Jizhou. Countless people froze to death in their blue clothes. Another civil uprising organization, the Red Lotus Sect, was born in Guangning.

It is said that the leader of the Red Lotus Sect was inspired by heaven and earth and became a Buddha while sitting on the ground. He was known as the Red Buddha. He felt sorry for the hardship of the people, so he summoned his followers and rose up in accordance with public opinion. He called himself the Red Lotus Sect, and his teachings were to save the poor people.

First, a small group of people were operating in Guangning. Now that their power has grown, the prefect sent troops to suppress it. Instead, the Red Lotus sect robbed the treasury and granary and occupied the high ground. The poor people followed and the prefect of Jizhou saw that he was about to suffer. He quickly asked the general soldier of Jizhou for advice. The general soldier of Jizhou was also a loser. He sent out troops several times but failed, and the people were in vain. The people were resentful. The matter was too big to suppress. The governor of Taiyuan, who was in charge of Jizhou, Only then did he report the matter.

Zuo Quan's brows wrinkled. The bad habits in Daqi's officialdom have been formed since the time of Yan Ge. Officials are afraid of something happening within their jurisdiction. If you don't care about him anymore, it depends on the luck of the person who fills the hole behind.

The prefect of Jizhou was obviously unlucky. When something happened, he didn't cover it up. Then he couldn't put the pot lid down on his head. He couldn't hold it any longer, so he submitted a petition.

Cao Lu suddenly stood up and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, this matter can't be delayed any longer. We must report to Renzong and ask Renzong to issue an order. It's freezing cold and the people can't wait any longer."

Lin Song, Minister of the Ministry of War, sat aside without saying a word. Wen Zhonghan said angrily, "Prime Minister Zuo, the money for the autumn of the Ministry of Household Affairs has been collected. I have already calculated the money for the people's settlement. This year, I can only grudge the palace and reduce some more." Expenses.”

The young eunuch lifted the curtain and came in to report, "Prime Minister Zuo, the banquet in the Qianqing Hall has broken up, but Eunuch Debao said that the emperor was drunk and had gone to bed and no one was there."

Cao Lu punched the table with his fist. Prime Minister Zuo frowned, paced the room, and finally said in a deep voice, "Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

The little eunuch cleverly said, "His Royal Highness is in the palace."

Prime Minister Zuo nodded after hearing this, "I haven't seen His Highness for a long time, so I will go to see His Highness now and ask my father-in-law to lead the way."

The little eunuch said he didn't dare, so he took the whisk and led the Zuo Xiang and his group towards the East Palace.

In the Hall of Qianqing, Renzong was sleeping so fast that he didn't know what to do, and his dreams were full of feasting and feasting. The little eunuch sang, "His Royal Highness has arrived."

When Eunuch Debao heard this, he quietly walked into the inner hall and opened the curtain. Renzong was lying on the bed and having a deep sleep. He was hesitating whether to wake up Renzong when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in.

"Where is the Emperor?" The voice was loud. Renzong's snoring had become quieter. Eunuch Debao hurriedly shook Renzong, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."

Renzong was about to get angry and was sleeping soundly. Who dared to disturb his sweet dream? ! He was about to get angry, but when he heard it was the prince, his anger flew to Java.

"Why is the prince looking for me? Debao, bring the stool quickly." Renzong warmly greeted his eldest son to sit down quickly. He was not honored by the snow feast. Yi'er was also cold. He felt guilty towards the two brothers and sisters and never dared to do so. Show off the majesty of the emperor.

"Father, the people of Jizhou are rebelling, and I request you to lead troops to put down the rebellion." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said coldly.

Renzong was shocked and said, "Ah, when did Jizhou rebel? Oh, Prince, you are the prince of a country, how can you go to a dangerous place in person? Are all the people in the Ministry of War dead and can't pick anyone to come? Do you still need to go in person?" What's more, you are in the world in the ice and snow, and the rebels are all desperadoes. If anything happens, how can I have the honor to see your mother in the future!"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of His Royal Highness the Prince's lips, but it quickly disappeared, "Father, I kindly ask you to lead troops to put down the rebellion. As for the resettlement of the victims, please make a decision as soon as possible."

Seeing that he was stubborn and still drunk, Renzong, under the influence of alcohol, couldn't help but blame the prince, "Are you still resenting me? Yi'er is the same. I know that you two brothers and sisters have treated me coldly over the years, but prince, I am too I can't help myself, and I regret it beyond words. Yi'er has never smiled at me in these years. She looks more and more like your mother. I, I don't know what to do!"

His Royal Highness the Prince seemed to be irrelevant and stayed out of the matter, with an erratic smile on his face and a very respectful look, "Father, you are joking. Lingyi and I are just lonely. Father, don't worry too much, just take care of your dragon body. "

Renzong was suffocated, unable to express the pain in his heart. He looked at the prince's jade-like face with a grimace, resolute and courageous, and more promising than himself.

"Then you take the Jingwei with you, and the subordinate officers of the East Palace will also be brought with you to practice. I am old, and Daqi will be in your hands sooner or later."

His Highness the Crown Prince was startled, then he knelt down respectfully and said, "Thank you, Father."

Renzong looked at the upright figure of the prince, with the lights dimming and the candlelight extinguishing. Renzong felt a little sad and said, "Debao, the prince still resents me a little."

Debao smiled and helped Renzong lie down. He covered Renzong with a quilt and comforted him softly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is graceful and heroic. Although he speaks less, his consideration for the Emperor will not change. You can rest assured. Well, His Highness the Crown Prince will understand you later."

Emperor Renzong let out a long sigh and felt no longer good.

Eunuch Debao looked at the brightly lit palace in the distance and sighed quietly, "Hey, how can we clearly tell the right and wrong between the monarch, minister and father and son?"

In the Cheng Mansion, Cheng Deqing rolled on the couch with Liu Yunniang in his arms. After giving birth, Liu Yunniang became even more charming, her youthfulness as a girl faded away, and she completely turned into a charming and bright woman. Cheng Deqing was still unfinished, and she finally stopped after a few storms.

"Dong dong dong", the door was suddenly knocked, and Ruping's urgent voice sounded, "Second Master, someone is coming from the palace."

As soon as Cheng Deqing opened his eyes, he suddenly woke up and hurriedly turned over and got dressed. He looked at Liu Yunniang's tearful face sleeping soundly inside, and he didn't want to disturb her, so he quietly went out.

In the main hall, Mr. Liu was carefully entertaining his young father-in-law. He was timid and timid for fear of omitting something. When he saw Cheng Deqing coming outside the door, he immediately had a backbone and quickly raised the curtain to welcome his son-in-law in. He quietly stepped back a few steps without anyone noticing. step.

The young father-in-law looked at Mr. Cheng's hurried steps, guessing that he didn't know anything about it, and secretly sighed in his heart what kind of path Mr. Cheng had taken to become the prince, a son of a small family with no foundation, who actually made his mark in a year or two, and then If you want to follow the prince to relieve disasters and quell chaos, the credit book has already been written!

He didn't dare to make excuses. When he saw Cheng Deqing, he saluted and said with a smile:

"Master Cheng, the palace has just issued an edict, ordering you and several adults from the East Palace to follow the prince to Jizhou to relieve disasters and quell the chaos. You will be at Zhangqiu Gate tomorrow at Mao. Please remember this."

Cheng Deqing was surprised in his heart, but his face showed no signs of trouble, "I'm sorry that my father-in-law has to make this trip in the wind and snow at night, why not stay in a humble house, so that I can help my father-in-law relax."

The young father-in-law smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "You're welcome, sir. I have to go to Master Zhang's house, so I'll take my leave now."

As he said that, he was about to lift up his clothes and go out. The imperial guards standing at the door rushed forward to guard the little father-in-law before he was about to go out. Master Liu appeared at the right time and greeted him enthusiastically, "Eunuch, please go slowly, I will go to the Liyuan when you have time." Let's listen to the show~" At the right time, a wad of silver notes was put into the little father-in-law's hand.

The little father-in-law felt even happier. He squeezed it quietly with his fingers. He felt that the trip was worthwhile and smiled more kindly. "Oh, Master Liu, I also like to go to the theater. When I finish my errands, I will definitely go with Master Liu." Let's have some fun together~" He smiled at the gentle and jade-like Lord Cheng, "You don't have to be polite, Lord Cheng, I'll be fine now."

Then he climbed into the carriage and rode away.

Cheng Deqing and Mr. Liu stood at the door, watching the carriage disappear before returning to the house. Cheng Deqing clasped his fists at Mr. Liu and smiled and said, "Dad, thank you for taking the trouble."

Mr. Liu's face was full of embarrassment, "Hey, I wish I didn't embarrass you."

The young father-in-law came just by chance. He had just put the accounts on the counter today and he had the banknotes on him. Time was short, so he could only take care of the guard leader and the young father-in-law.

Er Shunzi followed Cheng Deqing to pack things outside. Cheng Deqing hurriedly put away books, paper and pens, and then went to the inner room to pack clothes.

The light was dim, Liu Yunniang had woken up, and she was leaning on the bed wearing a jacket. Some clothes had been packed beside the bed. They were about to part ways, and the two of them were affectionate and lingering.

Cheng Deqing sat beside the bed, caressed Liu Yunniang's face, and said softly, "I'll be back soon, don't worry, take good care of Minmin."

Liu Yunniang threw herself into Cheng Deqing's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Why is it so sudden? We were having a good singing and dancing party during the day, but why did the order come at night to provide disaster relief and suppress the rebellion? It's freezing and snowy~"

"How can an official be afraid of the cold and difficulties? I'm afraid things have already gone bad. A heavy snowstorm will cause the people to be displaced and unable to survive. That's why they rebelled. You are in the capital and don't know the suffering of the people." Cheng Deqing She gently held Liu Yunniang's hair and said in a deep voice.

"Hey, it's a good thing that I was born into a rich family." Liu Yunniang raised her face and looked dimly, "If you were a poor person, you would be really pitiful."

Cheng Deqing smiled softly, "What nonsense are you talking about? My husband works so hard, so I don't want you to be frightened. I'm not in the house, so you just have to be at ease and don't let me worry about you, you know?"

He looked back at the clepsydra. There were still two hours before departure tomorrow. The young father-in-law collected the banknote and quietly mentioned:

"I heard that most of the villages in Jizhou were crushed by the snow, and there were heavy casualties. The county magistrate closed the door and refused to help, and the people rebelled. Mr. Cheng, you have been away for more than two months. Maybe we’ll spend the New Year outside too!”

Knowing that it would probably be a long time before he left, seeing Liu Yunniang reluctant to leave but still just acting coquettishly, he raised a wicked smile on his lips, held Liu Yunniang's shoulders with both hands, and looked into her burning eyes, "We'll set off at Mao hour, there's still some time. "

Liu Yunniang's face turned red with embarrassment, and she beat him several times bitterly. The spring breeze had already turned a few degrees last night, and this guy actually still had physical strength. She was still sore and weak, but she could not help but lay back with her arms around Cheng Deqing's neck. .

Cheng Deqing felt even more love in his heart when he saw Liu Yuniang being so docile and ready to be picked by others. He lifted up the gauze curtain and kissed her tenderly and sweetly, with unprecedented tenderness and consideration.

When it was daylight, Liu Yunniang woke up and saw no one at her bedside. She knew that Cheng Deqing didn't call her and left by herself. She felt very unhappy. Really, it was better to ask her to give her away.
