Three anecdotes

Rainy day, sleepy day.Cardinal Jin, who had taken the medicine, was currently resting with a pair of brocade quilts, and the white silk gauze foot bags were loosely wrapped around his feet without garters. Leaning his arm on the leading pillow, his slender hands stretched out from the curtain. Xiao Shunzi hurriedly served a cup of ginger and Su Ye. Cardinal Jin lazily pushed Su Ye, and said to Imperial Physician Feng who was kneeling on the ground, "Your Excellency, you know why I invited you?"

Feng Ping put the medicine box by his side, "Master Hou is recovering."

Cardinal Jin took a sip casually, then handed out the teacup, "Too much ginger makes the tea lose its flavor."

Xiao Shunzi took it with both hands, "My servant told them to soak again."

"Yeah. Let's all go out. It's disturbing to see the crows poking here." Cardinal Jin seemed to sit up, but Xiao Shunzi handed the teacup to a little maid behind him, and hurriedly helped Cardinal Jin up, Cardinal Jin hugged the quilt on his lap and waved his hand casually.

"Let's all go down." Xiao Shunzi raised his voice and led the people around him out.

Cardinal Jin yawned and looked at Imperial Physician Feng, "Who are you from?"

Imperial Physician Feng put his forehead on the ground, "Your Majesty's complexion is much better today, and if you take a few more doses of medicine, the poison in your body will be eliminated."

Cardinal Jin raised the corners of his lips, "Really? I don't want to get better so quickly."

"Master Hou's own body, you naturally know it well." Feng Taiyi said.

Cardinal Jin got out of bed, "Master Feng, you will save my life when I am in trouble. I know you are not the Queen's man. The Feng family has been a doctor for several generations, and the Yu family still can't help you. I know, you My master wants you to hug me, who is he?"

"The emperor has an order, to keep Lord Hou safe. I have only one master, and that is the emperor."

Cardinal Jin sneered, "That's the best. You can go."

"It's better to let Wei Chen take the pulse of Lord Hou." Feng Ping said.

"No need." Cardinal Jin sat back on the bed again, "Didn't you also say that? I know about my body." He raised his voice, "Xiao Shunzi, take a new umbrella and send Master Feng back. "

Shang Chengbi listened to the sound of the rain and counted the time in his mind. He was busy these few days, and the court meeting was going to be held until noon. The Yellow River was flooded, and disaster victims along the line poured into the capital, even the pagodas were crowded with people.Jing'an Ling was helpless, so he asked Shang Chengbi for instructions, but Cardinal Jin proposed to set up tents in the outskirts of Jing'an like on the grassland, and then the imperial court allocates food and supplies it uniformly according to the quota, which can solve the urgent need.

Shang Chengbi was jealous for a while because of this, "Set up a tent? How did you come up with it?"

Cardinal Jin said, "I used to graze horses with Helian on the grassland, and his attendants brought tools to set up tents. Nomads live by water and grass, and the tents are light and do not take up too much space."

"Hmph! You and him are very interested." Shang Chengbi said dissatisfied.

Cardinal Jin smiled, "It's also worthy of jealousy. Although we live together, he always treats me with courtesy."

"You still live together? He's a dignified fourth prince of Beidi, can't he afford two tents?" Shang Chengbi was furious.

Cardinal Jin had no choice but to lean over and kiss the corners of his lips that were bubbling with anger, "Okay, the disaster victims are enough to make you anxious, so don't get angry about me anymore."

Shang Chengbi pinched his waist, "I want to keep you by my side for the rest of my life, hiding you, so that others can never see you again, and they can never rob me again, and I can't even think about it."

Shang Chengbi looked down at Dan Chi, "That's it. The Marquis of Linyuan has made great contributions in offering advice, and I intend to bestow Pingdong, Sanhui and Eryi on him."

"Your Majesty!" Liang Fang kowtowed heavily, "The Yellow River is flooded, and there is no harvest. The price of rice is soaring, the number of hungry people is increasing sharply, and people are displaced. Refugees are flooding into Beijing, waiting for the emperor's order. The emperor issued an order three times within two days. , Don’t talk about disaster relief, don’t talk about helping the people, the Marquis of Linyuan will get rid of the nobles and return, and the Chu land will not lose. Now the emperor has a special gift, the emperor, the disaster victims on both sides of the Yellow River are chilling!"

Shang Chengbi was hit with a dart and a sword. Although he was always strong and strong, he was still recovering from serious injuries. In addition, it had been raining for days, and the scabs on the wounds were painful.These days, he has been exhausted by Cardinal Jin's dying several times, but he still insists on going to court to investigate the epidemic situation. Now that Cardinal Jin is in better health, Liang Fang actually accuses him of not caring about the suffering of the people. Shang Chengbi has always Severely punish corrupt officials, provide comfort to the people, and think that although the officials are strict, they are still good to the people.Now Liang Fangzai yelled at him, clearly saying that he valued beauties and despised common people. In the new year, people were ordered to dredge the water source, strengthen the embankment, and even build a new road in the year of Jihai. The year before last year, the rain was smooth and the weather was good. Unexpectedly, the drought at the beginning of this year has already appeared. The autumn festival has just arrived, and the sky is flooded. Dengzhou Prefecture Play the report, in August and January, the autumn rain falls, and the moon does not open. Henan and Gansu also reported the disaster situation. I miss the people and worry. These days, Jing'an can't stop. I listen to it every day in the bedroom. The sound of rain on the eaves, restless sleep, hard food to swallow, and there is no moment when you are not worried about the disaster. Since May, I have allocated nearly one million taels of silver, and Lin Yuanhou has used all his warehouses to relieve the disaster. Who can share my worries with the salary of the king of food!"

"The ministers will die, and the ministers will be incompetent!" All the ministers kowtowed.

Shang Chengbi waved his sleeves, "You don't have to die forever. Now that the national treasury is empty, everyone will hand in half a year's salary, which is just for disaster relief."

"My emperor is wise, and my ministers are willing to share your worries." Everyone answered neatly, but each had a heartache.I can't help but secretly scold Liang Fang for being troublesome. Although the emperor wants everyone to take the money in disaster relief in the past dynasties, how can there be such a clear grab.The emperor said that he was worried about the common people because he couldn't sleep well, so who would believe it?The decree was issued three times within two days, and the envoy who was expelled from the noble had not left Jing'an before he was chased back by the knighted horse.It's really strange to say that a vassal can be so favored by the sage, and he just keeps his head and eats the benefits. The imperial envoy usually scolds you a few times, just listen to it and digest it.Events on partial days made everyone restless.Mr. Liang is also confused. The emperor is the most face-saving person in the world. Xia Jie and Shang Zhou couldn't hear others saying that he only cares about pleasure and doesn't care about the life and death of the people. Now it's all right. Everyone will give money to the emperor to vent their anger. This Linyuanhou The fiefdom still has to be sealed.Hmph, it would be polite to send Pingdong and Sanhui out. There was news from the inner palace earlier, didn't it say that this Marquis of Linyuan would still be crowned king.I really don't know what the emperor is thinking, this dynasty does not confer kings with different surnames, and the Yu family supported the young master, what a great achievement, but two princes and one empress, a traitor actually wants to be crowned king?Fortunately, his father's nameless king of Chu has become a son of Chu, but the emperor still rewards this and that as compensation.Hmph, Marquis of Linyuan?In the past, he relied on sex to deceive the Lord, but now he relies on favor to commit murder.What a disaster, the emperor is also confused, sitting on the world and rich all over the world, what kind of beauty is there, but he is played and applauded by a surrender, that is also a man with the beauty of the country, and there is only a hole in the back, what is so rare.

"Are you back?" Cardinal Jin stood up to greet Shang Chengbi, "Why is it so late today? Are you exhausted?"

"You're not in good health, don't come here." Shang Chengbi opened his hand to let the little eunuch remove the coir raincoat, "The raindrops are hitting the window, can't you sleep well?"

A row of eunuchs and court ladies knelt and held hot water towels and other things. Shang Chengbi warmed his hands before coming to hold Cardinal Jin, "Why is my wrist so cold? Is the wound filled with wind? Does it hurt?"

Cardinal Jin shook his head, "It doesn't hurt, and I'm not cold. I've been sleeping all the time, and I still feel a little hot. Just now, Imperial Physician Feng came to ask for pulse, and said that my complexion is much better."

Shang Chengbi smiled and helped him to sit down. Cardinal Jin ordered someone to prepare a meal. Originally, the lunch order was 120 eight dishes. Ever since Shang Chengbi was accompanied by Cardinal Jin, he liked to drink with him by the stove, and he didn't care about having fun. Youshi, impatient to go to Jiaming Palace again, and even less lazy to let several cases go up and down, although the Shangshi Bureau still follows the established rules, but it is almost not in front of our eyes.Now that the disaster is serious, Shang Chengbi simply made a complete appearance and cut his daily routine in half. The queen followed closely and cut the expenses of the six palaces. Everyone praised him as a virtuous person.Now, the eunuchs put out boxes of pumpkins one after another, Feng Yu tasted the meal, and the two chatted. Cardinal Jin gave Shang Chengbi a piece of yam, "Autumn air is dry, eat something Ganping. You The kung fu is too domineering, so I need to eat more things that nourish the lungs to relieve autumn dryness. I asked them to stew Xiao Jianlian's soup, and it will be served in a while."

Shang Chengbi held Cardinal Jin's hand, "Chonghua, you are so kind to me."

Cardinal Jin smiled, "What's so good about it. You are busy with government and public affairs every day, and I can't share your worries, so it's good to help you take care of these." He pinched Shang Chengbi again, "I specially I ordered it, and the stew is rather poor." He made half a bowl of barley porridge himself, and was so ill that he couldn't eat anything, "Jia Cheng, I thought about it, and you're right. You can't ask for too many things. I have done so many things wrong, but I can still stay by your side, so I should cherish it. We all have to be good, don't waste time anymore. "

Shang Chengbi was carrying a piece of sesame cabbage and was going to feed him. Hearing what he said, he was very happy at first, but then he let go of his chopsticks, "Chonghua, what's wrong with you? Why did you say this suddenly? Is it your body?" ——" Shang Chengbi was terrified.

Cardinal Jin took a sip of porridge, "No, you think too much. It may be that it has rained recently, and I was tired of sleeping, so I thought more. If I think too much, I will naturally figure it out."

"Really?" Shang Chengbi hugged him, "I originally hated this heavy rain, causing the people of Li to suffer from hunger and cold, but it is not useless to make you figure it out."

Cardinal Jin nodded, "By the way, Yu Tongxiang went to investigate the 120 million taels of gold. How did the investigation go? I heard people say that the situation in Shandong is very bad now, and there are still rice merchants hoarding goods? These people, It's just too bold!"

Shang Chengbi put down the bowl, "Exactly. Except Wei's rice shop stood up and said that it would not increase the price, but after all, it is only sold in limited quantities every day. Wei Jin's cold heart is not dark."

Cardinal Jin saw that Xiao Shunzi personally served the white fungus and lotus soup, and told him to put it aside first, and then said, "It may not be a blessing."

Shang Chengbi answered in his throat.

Cardinal Jin shook his hand suddenly, "You can't let the people of Jixi Valley buy people's hearts anymore. Natural disasters are ahead, and people's hearts are already floating. I heard that this time King Jingbian actually let his son follow Yu Tongxiang In Beijing, coupled with Wei Jin's cold Zhang Luo, Jia Cheng, he is already too presumptuous."

"I don't know. It's just that disaster relief is the most important thing." Shang Chengbi carried the food for Cardinal Jin and put it on a silver plate in front of him, "It's been a long time since the emperor bought people's hearts, so he can still dig out the sky and eat! "

Cardinal Jin held the silver chopsticks, "He can't get out of the sky, but his hand has stretched too far."
