The natural disasters in the southwest area were fierce, and the drought became too severe, and the whole piece of land became so dry that it was unbearable to look directly at it.There are no surviving creatures, no survivors who can be saved, green becomes a luxury, and the yellow land spreads along with the trend, making the most basic things unavailable.

The news from bottom to top spread to the capital city at its fastest speed, and reached the ears of the superiors.So the opportunity that I had been waiting for for so long finally came.

The court hall in the morning was extremely noisy, there seemed to be voices of arguing, and the volume fluctuated up and down, making people very uncomfortable.Liu Che, who was sitting in a high position, thought so. This group of ministers had too many thoughts and worries.It seems that the contradictions and contradictions are obvious.The news reached Liu Che the day before. With Liu Che's inherent sensitivity, he also knew that this was the best time.

"My Majesty, I believe that the first thing to do is to allocate funds for disaster relief for the drought in the Southwest. The drought is prevalent and there are many refugees. The people's medical treatment is definitely not enough to deal with the refugees. I think that an imperial envoy should be sent from the imperial court to bring the relief amount and Your Majesty. On the one hand, it can solve the disaster caused by the drought, and on the other hand, it can also express your majesty's benevolence and righteousness."

"Sima's words are inappropriate. Now that the country is stable and the treasury is not rich, how can it take out so much money to treat refugees at once? First of all, all city gates should be closed to prevent refugees from fleeing to other cities that are not dry and endangering others. place."

"..."

Liu Che didn't speak, just quietly listened to their confrontation, thinking about how to proceed with these things together.The national treasury does not have more savings, and if it allocates funds, it can only solve a temporary emergency, and cannot achieve the best measures.Although there is not much money in the national treasury, the few people in the city who are incomparably rich are also rich, so it's better to take advantage of them.The people in the court hall were arguing while secretly watching the emperor's confident appearance, wondering if the fight should continue.

"I know that all the ministers are thinking about me, but I feel that the strategy of the Great Sima is the right one. As for money, there are so many rich merchants and so many families in the city, shouldn't they contribute a share for me? Power?" After Liu Che finished speaking, he called the eunuch to prepare the imperial edict.One piece of imperial decree was given to the imperial envoy Dou Qing, one piece was given to the big family in the city, and the other piece contained the abdication of the Empress Dowager.

Liu Che asked Dou Qing to go to the southwest because he knew that Dou Qing was an ignorant dude who loved money and relied on his family's power to be his own little prince.So when the Dou family proposed such a choice, Liu Che did not hesitate.After going down to court, the eunuchs took the imperial decree to the Empress Dowager's palace to stamp it, and handed it all over to Wei Zifu at the door.Wei Zifu signaled the eunuchs to leave first, and then he would send the imperial decree to the proclamation room.Then he brought the imperial decree into the room and prepared to read it to the Empress Dowager.Wei Zifu looked through the imperial decree, and found that it was not only about the matters in the southwest, but also some small and scattered matters, adding up to almost ten papers.Wei Zifu read out the imperial decree while thinking.

It was already noon, and I had just had lunch, so the Empress Dowager's energy was useless.He could listen carefully to the first imperial decree and even make some comments and questions, but as the subsequent imperial decrees entered, the sleepiness of the empress dowager came bit by bit.She believed in Wei Zifu, so she didn't want to listen any more.

The Empress Dowager took out the chapter from under her sleeping pillow, and on the other hand said to Wei Zifu: "My husband, there is no need to read these imperial decrees anymore. They are all trivial matters. These and the remaining imperial edicts , let’s stamp them all together.” Wei Zifu was taken aback, took the seal tremblingly, pretended to be calm and stamped all the imperial edicts.Seeing that the Empress Dowager fell asleep so sleepy, she ordered the little girl to take these edicts to the proclamation room.

As soon as Liu Che saw Wei Zifu, he quickly put down the things in his hands, ran towards Wei Zifu, picked up the imperial decree in his hand, and found that the whole stack was stamped with the seal of the Empress Dowager, so excited he couldn't help hugging Wei Zifu. Zifu.But coincidences always happened inadvertently. For example, Princess Pingyang, whom Liu Che summoned not long ago, happened to be standing at the door at this time.

Liu Che was so immersed in joy that he didn't notice Pingyang's arrival at all.And Wei Zifu, who was already a little embarrassed, just happened to bump into Pingyang's eyes, and there was some cold silence and anger.Wei Zifu coughed, pushed Liu Che away, and then stood aside, watching Pingyang approach.

"Sister Huang! My son-in-law has succeeded! Finally, I will no longer be restrained by her!" Liu Che was not like an emperor at all at this time, but more like a child who got candy.Unfortunately, Pingyang's complexion did not improve at all.Looking at Pingyang's face, Wei Zifu guessed what his princess was fussing over.It's just that she didn't expect that Pingyang would say those words suddenly.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember how you promised me back then?"

"I remember, I said that I would agree to you, and my son-in-law will prove it."

"Then I just ask you one thing." Ping Yang looked serious, but there was no hint of a joke on his face, which made Liu Che, who was looking at her, nervous, and only nodded to signal her to continue talking. "I just want Zifu to return to Pingyang Mansion." Liu Che waited for Pingyang to say something difficult, but it was such an easy thing.Just as he was about to speak, he found that Ping Yang moved to Wei Zifu's side and gently squeezed her hand.Ignoring the flustered Wei Zifu and Liu Che who looked astonished, he said without hesitation, "Your Majesty doesn't need to find any more consorts for me. I have a son-in-law, that's enough." Liu Che was stunned for a while, Maybe it was filtered in my mind, as if I finally caught something.

"Sister Huang means, sister Huang and Zifu?" Liu Che looked up at Pingyang hesitantly, and found that apart from looking at Wei Zifu's doting on her face, she was extremely serious and firm.Liu Che also knew how difficult it was for his sister, and also knew that during this period of time, all his difficulties could only be overcome by relying on Pingyang and him.The court was already in turmoil, and there were not many people Liu Che could trust, only his sister, who would always stand by him.Now that she has found someone she likes and her own happiness, then, what can she object to?Could it be that both of them are women?Liu Che had a lot of mental activities. In the end, his face was darkened, and then he suddenly raised a smiling face, facing Pingyang. "If the Royal Sister is good enough, I should also respect it. After the father and the emperor left, I relied on the support of the Royal Sister. Without the Royal Sister, how could I be where I am today? The Royal Sister must be quite trusting. It is only because of this that I will inform the world of this disgraceful thing. Then how can I let down my sister and my husband."

Although Pingyang and Zifu had no worse intentions, they never expected Liu Che to accept such a good result easily.The two looked at each other, and then looked at Liu Che gratefully. After finally telling this matter, it seemed that some stone had fallen in the hearts of the two of them, so that they would not always hang in midair without a landing point.

After going through this matter, Pingyang thought about what Liu Che said in the court hall to appoint Dou Qing as an imperial envoy to deal with the drought in the southwest, which is naturally not advisable.Ping Yang raised his doubts, and Liu Che also said, "This is just a plan on the surface. I plan to send another person to supervise in secret. If Dou Qing handles this matter well, it will be fine. If not, I will There is a reason to peel off another inch of the Dou family's wings. But the current problem is how to make the big families in the city willing to donate their money, and who should be sent to follow Dou Qing. At this time, it is really difficult to send There is no one I trust." It is really difficult to gain my own trust without being able to scare the snake.

"If Your Majesty is in trouble, I can relieve your worries. I am the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, and I can go anywhere with me. You only need to lend me a token. This will not delay your important affairs in the court." , and can supervise Dou Qing's style of work." Liu Che seemed to have suddenly understood something, and immediately agreed with Pingyang's plan.It's just that the matter of the imperial envoy has been settled, so what about the money for disaster relief?How to deal with such a large expenditure?

The three of them thought for a long time, but they didn't see any good solution, so they decided to convene the ministers to discuss it tomorrow. The imperial decree still couldn't make them reconciled.Wei Zifu returned home with Pingyang, and they didn't know what method Liu Che used to deal with the Empress Dowager, but since the old man in the deep palace slept in the afternoon, except for asking Wei Zifu's whereabouts once, he never stopped. Asking, it seems, I heard that she was taken away by the emperor to favor her?

This must be a random word from the people in the palace, obviously that Wei Zifu, who was hiding his secrets, followed the emperor's own sister, Princess Pingyang of the Han Dynasty, back to her princess mansion.
